Since I moved to the Bay area there is one thing that became quite obvious – Anything Google releases is considered a hit. I think the press and the attention that small google app releases get is a little too much. I think ts time that press and everyone in silicon valley start focusing their energies inon other innovators as well.

Om Malik from gigaom does a great job of expressing the same feeling that i have regarding google’s ‘new ideas’  http://gigaom.com/2009/02/03/google-the-big-ideas/
