Interesting read on Google

Google is great at search, with their newfound cash they are good at acquiring other companies that are good, but their other various ventures are so so.

I read Ries & Ries as often as they update, they have some really great points in a recent article: http://www.ries.com/Articles/popupAdAge.cfm?ID=74

They need to focus on collecting and indexing information and making it available. An AJAX based office suite? Get outta here... not possible any time soon... a new OS? Come on... the relationships they would have to establish with hardware vendors, software developers etc..etc..etc..would drain more of their resources and further dilute their brand. Google = Searching for and finding stuff imho.
