Todays Webmaster & Their Relationship with Google.

Does today's Webmaster remember when Google first launched? Do you remember all the buzz in the Webmaster Community? "Hey, check out the new search engine Google." Google this, Google that. It was viral from the day they launched and continues to be that way.

We (the Webmasters) were the hands that fed Google. We (the Webmasters) built Google. We (the Webmasters) made Google what it is today. And now we find ourselves in reverse roles, Google are now the hands that feed us Webmasters. Our creation has turned on us. Its like a science fiction movie. ;)

We were so hungry for a new search engine back then and Google was it. They had it all and then some. We (the Webmasters) fueled their brand, their growth and their market share today.

So, who is next on the list? Its time for some new buzz. Hehehe, is that even possible? Me thinks we are well beyond the point of anyone coming close to competing in Google's Internet.

The other thing we need to come to grips with is that Google is no longer just search. If you were to map what they've been up to these past 24 months on an hourly basis, you'd be quite surprised. Ever watch a system defrag? That's what it is like watching Google. They are slowly but surely taking bits and pieces from here and there, assembling them, and creating the Gorg. You will be assimilated.
