Google has said its making flight and hotel bookings available on your smartphone in the mobile SERPs, with the booking done without leaving Google.

On Google Flights, its also going to roll out, in selected countries, the the ability to go straight to hotels from the Flights.

Game over as in as the world goes more mobile, and given at last check Google has Android along with a 98%+ market share for mobile search, that their scope of control is like, I dunno, like overwhelming? I suppose like the gorgeous model that gets all the attention, it's not her fault she's so beautiful and everyone flocks to her. I think of this like the Google tax. Everything runs through them and from that, a portion is skimmed. Sort of like a tax, except it goes beyond a national level. I think the prudent move is to buy stock.

This said, do we have to have a point when starting threads?
