By starting off with a VC view of the "SOE" you bring us into a way of seeing the tech universe and uniquely illuminate the phenomena that is Google. The only smart comment I see above references your unequivocal statement: "Google’s one and only goal is to sell advertising." R. Chase Razabdouski's writes that Google has "learned that advertising is the default monetization method until another better suited method can be worked in. That doesn’t mean their singular goal is to push ads." Interesting comment on the face of it. But given the low probability of another profitable model emerging in the near future I think that your observation stands. As a public company Google needs to maintain a primary focus of short- to mid-term revenue gains, and that dictates that the company needs to remain tightly focused on ad pushing. From there I moved to "Google has to use its products/services to kill or disintermediate everything in the path of its advertising." How can one argue? Yes, I think that is a completely accurate statement. And if true then it by nature obliterates avoiding behavior that will be identical to the actions of evil people: death and destruction. Steve Jobs' cloud strategy has made it necessary for him to kill developers that were his company's friends. Imagine what Google will do to companies it doesn't even know.

Google's mission (I know, this is in words only) is to organize the worlds information. To this objective, they have learned that advertising is the default monetization method until another better suited method can be worked in. That doesn't mean their singular goal is to push ads. Also, with Microsoft, they have many successful avenues outside of the Microsoft + Office framework. Think of all the computer systems you use, and there is most always a Microsoft based product behind it. Do you think the slew of iOS and Android developers is large? You might want to try comparing that drop in the bucket compared to the ocean of .NET developers. This equates to massive revenues for Microsoft in development tools, training, etc. That's not the only other area that that was glanced over, but it's the most obvious. You got it… sort of.

Youtube is a true cross-platform app for video services with mass appeal. Everybody wants youtube. Even Apple is forced to include youtube on their Apple TV devices.

Google wants to organize all the information everywhere and that includes enterprise. These arguments are tiresome and wrong. Google is as good as its last search, once it returns irrelevant results, users will switch(switching costs are zero), it has no platform lock-in or dominance, no wonder they are so excited by 'android', that actually gives them platform lock-in at least to a section of the users who use google search. castigating google for selling ads is like castigating Apple for selling iOS equipped devices and making most of the money from that.

In most of the spaces that Google enters, they advance the state of the art very much. Silicon Valley is all about innovation and when company's become big, they tend to lose their vitality . Google is the ONLY COMPANY that keeps the spirit of startup even when it has grown so much.Imagine what you will be writing if Google were to just stay focussed on 3-4 programs - then it will invite huge criticism of not moving faster and setting up itself for a failure! I am surprised to note that set of people who like Apple very much tend to unnecessarily have a colored opinion of Google - like the one published here. Am surprised at this hollow analysis.

I think you already see Google choose not to act to grow a sector..the example is Amazon Android AppStore. In fact given the success of Amazon Android AppStore you may see Google partner with Amazon to handle that functionality. Good read and analysis as always..
