Google Response

I think google is predominately one of the most influential websites the internet has to offer. Personally, Google is not only my homepage but also earned itself a search bar at the top of my webpage because it is so often used. Everything about Google seems invincible. It will be amazing to see where the company winds up in the next decade. I use everything google has to offer. From Google analytics, to gmail, to docs, to adsense. The company has it all...and it's scary.
Google started as a very relaxed atmosphere and a sort of kid vibe to the company, wit colorful letters surrounding google. It had a some sort of twitter cartoon vibe to it. "Google's other founder, Sergey Brin, who was then twenty-nine years old, arrived late and roller bladed into the room." (Auletta 1) Google seems like the perfect company to me. However, lately they are becoming much more of a company that corporate America likes to see. Google has exploded to the surface of web users, almost to the point where it is too big. "Once you get to a certain size, you have to figure out new ways of growing, and then you start leaking on everyone else's industry. And when you do that you sort of wake up the bears, and the bears come out of the wooods and start beating the shit out of you." (Seidenberg, CEO Verizon).
Clearly google has started to change in numerous ways. They are starting a monopoly over the internet age. Fortunately, they have become extremely successful in doing so. So why does it matter that they've changed? Why does it matter if they haven't stuck to the ideals and plans from the beginning stages? I understand that it's important to stick to what you once believed in and created the company for but if you lost touch with that and your company is more successful than when it started does it really matter? Because in the end the only thing that really matters within big business is success...and that is exactly what google is achieving.
