[...] Google is King right now because they have managed to keep up with the trends people care about. People want to find stuff fast and keep things simple. Done- Google search. People want lots of mail. Done- Gmail. The list of innovations goes on and on at Google labs. Google also made things easier. They made it easier to buy and display internet advertising: what they see as their real business. Jeff Jarvis explains all of this in his own assessment of Yahoo: Iâ€™ve also said this, too, before and will say it once more: We debated for decades whether conten… [...]

To add some minors to Jeff’s majors. Google is an API that Yahoo never had. And Yahoo maps - god awfully complex, i cannot cut or paste a thing of use from them, like you could when they were simpler - that is Googlier. Still I miss Yahoo’s early days of a simple front page, unadorned where you could look at the url of the directory and new where you were conceptually.

Jeff, excellent analysis, and here’s an idea that builds on yours. “Media” comes from a Latin term that means “in the middle.” Old Media have been “media-men” or “middlemen,” and that’s how they’ve made their money. Because of the limits of technology and economics, they have been the indispensible tunnel and funnel through which our news and other information has passed and been filtered. But now the Internet can connect everyone with everyone else without Old Media in the middle. So any media-type company that wants to make money on the Internet needs to find new reasons to justify their existence as middlemen, and Google has found that with services linking viewers with advertisers.
