A lot of you may wonder why I would even ask such a question. Google is all good, right?  They can’t possibly be as evil as Walmart, right?

Well, no one said Google was evil. What I am saying, however, is that Google is slowly pushing more and more of their competitors out of business.  While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it could turn into a bad thing quickly. When there’s no competition, there’s trouble. Just ask the people who live in small towns where a Walmart has moved in – what happened to all the other little local shops?  The mom and pop hardware store? Where did they all go?  They all went out of business, because of Walmart.

Google has its hands in nearly everything these days, just like Walmart. Remember when Google was just a search engine? It seems like every day, Google is launching a new product or service – while this isn’t necessarily bad, it sure raises the question, what is their ultimate goal? To do everything? If you’ve ever walked into a Walmart, you’ll notice immediately that it’s a department store, a shoe store, a hardware store, toy store, grocery store (some), pharmacy, electronics store, book store, music store, the list goes on. What about Google?  They’re a search engine, they make a web browser, a desktop operating system, run a photo service, email service, instant messaging, mobile products, advertising, a social networking service, video sharing.. the list goes on.  See a trend developing here?   So how is a company supposed to compete with another company, who gives the same product away for free?  Walmart sells things cheaper than everyone else, that’s why most stores within a 10-mile radius of the retail giant generally fail miserably once Wally World comes to town.

So I ask, how is one conglomeration better than another?
