Google shows Microsoft how to connect the dots



Android critics like Microsoft’s CEO Steve Balmer bemoans the fact that Google shouldn’t dabble in apps/services it cannot immediately monetize. In reality, Google is operating at a much higher level that the fat and lazy Microsoft doesn’t understand.

…s efforts turned into GOOG-411 directory service which refines phoneme recognition so that speech-to-text conversion of YouTube videos can better be indexed, searched, and ultimately monetized, as we recently illustrated here. I will readily admit to being an extreme Google Fanboy . Not because I believe they can do no wrong, but because the right that they do is planned further ahead than even they know. Anyone remember Grandcentral? Lets start back at Goog-411 and question why the free voice service. People talk to it and it starts to aquire voice recognition. Waste of money some say. Google buys Grandcentral (a free VOIP service) and quickly stops signups leaving only the group who were lucky enough to be members able to play with their Grandcentral accounts. (Hmmm, maybe that was so they could use the VOIP technology for their Gtalk client?) Google then starts dabbling in offering FREE wireless access to cities. Ouch!! That can’t be good for the bottom line can it?! Then we introduce Android. Open source…
