Google is now more than a business: it is a cultural phenomenon. But where will it be in a few years?
Very interesting article about Google's weaknesses as well as a comparison of economic model's with Ebay, Amazon and Alta Vista.
Any way...it is worth a read before you assign any particular value (Beyond the "eyeball/brandvalue/Internet Bubble Part II" valuation to Google's IPO.
Remember IPO means cashing out for the big players ;)
