Short answer is no, I don't think any of the Google folks I know has ever expressed concerns to me though I have not brought this up specifically. Long answer is absolutely yes. Eric Schmidt has noted, correctly, that Google is only one great search idea away from having real competition. Powerset also convinced one of Yahoo's excellent search guys to join them (Tim Converse). Do I think Powerset is likely to be the next Google? No. Do I think Powerset has a *decent chance* of becoming a dominant player in the market? Yes. Will Google's dominance in onine advertising see any challenges in the coming 5 years. Yes. Therefore, Google is concerned - their stock price is based on the assumption they'll keep being dominant for some time. Staying at the top of your game while supersizing the company is a challenge even for Google's brilliant leadership and staff. Lex, regarding Google’s concerns about Powerset.
