World of Google

Now days Google is everywhere...you know that and it scares you, right? Me too! Anyways facts are facts and Google's virtual (FREE!!!) products are increasing with exponential rates. Without even realizing it in daily bases I use more than 10 Google applications...You don't believe me? I 'll count it for you:

  1. Google, as a search engine. It's remarkable how Google Search managed to position itself as the STARTING POINT of every users browsing trip, ingenious!
  2. Google Mail, no need for introductions.
  3. Google Talk, to stay in touch with friends and co-workers.
  4. Google Maps, to find where am I going, or to use it a a map in the contact page of my Client's website.
  5. Google Docs, I love docs, I share docs, I write in Docs everything! Even this article was written in docs.
  6. Google Bookmarks, I want my bookmarks anywhere I go...so here we go again with Google.
  7. Google Analytics, I get daily feedback on my websites traffic. VERY VERY crucial for my job and an excellent service!
  8. YouTube, yep that's Googles also.
  9. Recently I even started using Google Wave, to share ideas and discussions with friends and colleagues.
  10. Google Adsense, to manage my online ads (I don't make much but I am trying :P)!
  11. and finally (I said more than 10, remember?) Google Webmaster Tools for improving my website's ranking and SEO.

Without ever knowing I was taken over by Google, and that fact scares the hell out of me! They even made a Operating System...which is rather good to be honest. With all those thoughts in mind and while I was weaving various conspiracy theories, I had an epiphany. An idea that made me, scream : "Hey, Google I have an idea, would you like it to buy it from me or even better buy me off? :)". The idea is very simple...

Google has entered every possible software software and internet implementation every conceived (it even create new ones), except for one and that one is very promising (and quite profitable). What is that? The answer is Gaming! It's very strange but Google is not yet, into games. Why not? I don't know. Probably they are planning, I don't know... They have the ideas, the have the marketing and ways to push it. Why don't they buy an established Game development company and start releasing games? If I was Google, I would do that. I mean come on...they started from a search engine and they created an operating systems (Google OS and Android), how hard can it be to delve into games!

Imagine Google creating a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, to compete with Blizzard's (big fat cow) World of WarCraft (that's when the term World of Google , was coined by my friend Junior)...I say it will be very interesting indeed.

Of-course they are not going to create such a large project out of the blue, probably they will start with something smaller or acquire a company to get the know how and then they will work they way up the ladder. Maybe they will even create it specifically for Google OS or Android. Who knows...

Anyways, enough with The Imaginarium of Dr. DuMmWiaM, now that I think the whole thing all over again, it's hard to imagine Google selling games to Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo (PS3/XBox 360/Wii). Oh my god, I have another crazy idea, maybe Google will be the fourth player in the console gaming industry, with a gaming console named...hmmm let me thing something funny, not Gii, not Gbox...found it!

GaGoo, that's it! It's small, it's catchy and easy to remember (at least I found a use for my marketing studies).

DuMmWiaM, over and out (no more crazy ideas for today)!
