As an early stage investor, blogger and self-described "avid entrepreneur," Howard Lindzon is keenly interested in the Internet and its seemingly limitless possibilities.
"We seem close to greatness, but instead, we are on the verge of huge setbacks," Lindzon recently wrote in a blog piece entitled: The Internet is 5,000 Days Old...What Have You Done for Me Lately? (Ed's note: Lindzon is using 1995-96 as the Internet's birth as a mass medium, so don't start yelling about PARC -- or Al Gore.)
Lindzon's main concern is about the potential for overzealous regulation by people who don't really understand the medium, a threat that clearly has been eating at Google shares late.
In the accompanying video, Lindzon argues Google is far from a monopoly and explains why he believes the stock, which he owns, presents a good risk/reward opportunity as it approaches $400.
Google value is overestimated for at least $200 You'll see goog tank when mass webmasters start remove adsense from they sites.
All stock are buy not unless you are bearish.....Thank you
Today’s internet sacks. They stole my phone, they stole my TV, they stole my sell phone, they stole my computer. Google sacks. Look back: lost privacy ( search by phone number, search logs), lost security ( goggle pushed aerial photo when every one pull it back for security), lost money ( google pay per click – earn money clicking on supplied links), lost mind (try to find something useful and you’ll get tonnes of commercial junk), lost generation (they don’t go out an play, they afraid of live people they sit, talk, jerk and brain wash and kill, kill, kill on their computers youtube, myspace, games, games, games), lost intellect (as you are more helpless, more money can be made on you).
Well fredgyporquinho, you've managed to hit all three debate techniques used by neocon trash. 1. First, inject your hate into a topic that has nothing to do with politics. 2. Make up a fake word like "agitprop" or "islamofacist" to show how smart you are to combine two words into a ridiculous statement of your beliefs. 3. Twist the name of someone to further make that ridiculous statement again. Excellent job!
And so castles made of sand melt into the sea...eventually.
This guy is talking ot of both sides of his mouth. 1) they are nowhere close to being a monopoly. 2) they are an unstoppable force This is a guy who is deeply vested into goog, that we should pay no attention to his ramblings. quality of people who can start funds is amazing. worried about government restricting goog, we need goog to be constrained. they are just getting into everything and trying to crush any non-goog innovation. same things as microshaft but have spun themselves as our savior!

Google pretty much is a monopoly controlling many aspects of the web and here's why. 1) The guys at Yahoo were more interested in news aggregation, email and other stuff that they overlooked web search. They could of made it a priority and improved their search and ad serving program years ago and by now they probably would of figured out workable ways of serving ads and putting out superior search results. 2) Microsoft woke up from hibernation a couple of years ago with a backache when it found out what in the world is going on in search. Stuff was wide open and clear for Google which kept on improving it's service night and day. From Google analytics to webmaster tools to improving it's actual search results. With millions of sites, search engines will always be needed. So now it's gonna take some really hard work for these other search engines to catch up.

Google is over priced, not that secure with information they put on their search sites and their search sites have so much information it is hard to decide what site you need to go to. What ever advertisers they have are fools. They overpay for services that most people get for free and ignore their adds. Google collects the cash and the companies using Googles site charge the consumer more money for their product to pay for the excessive advertising fees. Soon their consumers are going to say cheapen your product or forget about us purchasing your product. The consumer can always leave the site and the product manufacturer.

lipstick on a pig is an appropriate characterization of Google stock in the long term. Google stock is kind of like Sarah Palin, at one time it had a pretty face and seemed new and innovative, but in the long run, under close examination there is nothing there to justify the attention it's getting and is really quite ugly at the heart and soul of it.
Who's the Hendrix fan; must be an old guy to know those words " Castles in the sand" loved the song by the way; also long on Goog, have run with it up and down several times; still have faith it will deliver my retirement fund
Let's keep allowing large corporations to send jobs overseas depleting the tax base and consumer strength. Mcain wants to open all of southeast asia to "free" open trade as well. Vote for Mcain and welcome to the third world. Wake up people Obama may not be the perfect answer but at least he's committed to "reviewing" trade agreements. Vote your job. Vote democratic no matter what.
I don't know much about economy but financial institute have made the biggest blunder of all that put amrican people in grave danger of other country taking advantage of our fragile financial situation. I do not believe that the government should bail them outright. There might be a solution to this if this financial institute are willing to take a risk. Since the main cause is mortgage problem, why not re-structure the existing loans to a lower interest rate and longer life term of the loan instead of 30 year max., make it 50 or 60 years. This will lower the loan payment affordable to many and abbort the forclosure. Not all but it is a start. If possible it is time that we stick to this system as time has changed.

Obama pushes racial agitprop over teaching math / science to minority students. Zero-bama is not any better than McCain.
