Is Google Evil?

Hmmm

I have mused on this subject before.

In Travel, Google is probably now the company that benefits the most from the move to the web centric world. Make that positively in terms of cash flow.

Recently a number of people have started to question the validity if not the sincerity of Google's "Don't be evil motto".

Google has so far avoided the wrath of the media through skillful PR and undoubtedly hiding behind the concept evil empire of Microsoft.

Now someone has actually compiled a list of the 11 Ways Google is Evil.

And as if that is not enough on last AT&T let rip at Google in a formal letter to the US FCC (the telecoms regulator) claiming that Google Voice is blocking calls to Convents and Health Centers.

Whether Google is being callous deliberately or is having to "spin" its vision of "evil" can be debated. One thing is for sure - be careful with the now 20,000 ton Gorilla. He can crush you. Or at least block your calls.

You have been warned

Cheers
