Google turns 7 today!

It's actually a little sad. Why? Well, in 7 years they have added lots of accessories, and bought plenty of businesses, but their core function, the search engine, still works on the same old principles.

Like Microsoft, they have expanded but not innovated as much as they could, given their income and staff.

Which means that, out of nowhere, an innovator could steal the search crown - and then Google will slowly go down the gurgler...
