@bumbleWeaver I don't think it's inevitable that Google maintains monopoly. The thing that reminds me of the most is Yahoo's near Monopoly circa year 2000.All the talk was about how Yahoo was dominating the search engine business and all the other engines were dying or being bought by Yahoo. And then within a year or so then being the top of the heap they stopped giving you the results you search for and started giving you the results they wanted you to get and it became frustrating and obvious. then basically sites like metacrawler and Google started to get prominence because they gave you basically what you searched for. Not perfectly but more than not. I think 20/20 Google basically equals 2,000 Yahoo. Sure there is a threshold that takes people to change their behavior. But I think Google is rapidly approaching that frustration threshold Right now I'm on the outlier end of the curve where I've crossed it for most purposes. I still use plenty of Google products cuz how can you not, but anything that I can get close to as good of results as I want to from another source I've set it in defaults from other sources. No I'm somebody who went out of my way to do that. It took intent and effort. When it becomes common knowledge and easy, but there is a clear just as good alternative or better alternative, each person who has a bad experience with Google will be more likely to switch. It's one of those things that seems like it'll never happen until it seems like it's happened already and it was inevitable. I will not be at all surprised if in 15 years we are watching documentaries what about what happened to Google...
