Is Google the web 2.0 ?
As suggested in the Robert Cringely's article referenced on Bertrand's blog, we can ask ourselves if Google isn't about to become the incontrovertible enter point of the web 2.0:
This blog is made thanks to Google blog (Blogger). It takes me 5 minutes to purchase the "dexhian.net" domain and a 20MB remote disk (for 1€/year) with FTP and HTTP service. I bet this blog can be hosted freely by Google on a virtual drive soon (actually, it can be hosted by Google but without letting me manage all files as I do on my virtual disk, and without allowing me to link my domain to my blog).
Into Blogger web application, I set up my blog in few minutes also, so that it publishes my blog (the web pages) onto my remote disk via FTP. I easily chose a template and configured some wanted behaviors.
Blogger offers me the capability for publishing some meta-data about me and my blog. But I can also use Google base service to add more meta-data and structured information linked to it (see Sylvain's article).
Easy, powerfull, fast, reliable... and soon all controlled by Google ?
(At last, don't forget people find my blog using Google search... of course)
- it will soon have the first WebOS distribution, providing data storage on virtual drives and bases, web office programs, and of course services powered by their search engines and bases
- its would make a web browser that will be the only program required on a computer to do computing via the web 2.0 (as all data and software are hosted on web servers)
- it would develop the most super-high bandwidth connections at all peering ISPs so that its services is the "nearest" of you (services with the shortest access time)
- it is today the incontroversible search engine so that your existing on the web is quite depending on Google search engine referencement.
