That's it. The only real innovation and ideas that come out of their HQ all come from ideas from companies they have purchased. It great to see consolidation yea, but for what. GOOGLE IS A search engine. I haven't used Google for over 5 years. For goodness sakes people have you ever tried www.metacrawler.com or Dogpiple.com? Great engines, and they don't trach everywhere you go on the Internet. I laugh at this because when the first tech bubble happened I always said that it was very CLEAR the investment groups have absolutely no idea where this technology is headed. So, what is their response? Let's get google to buy up every new idea that looks reasonable.</p> <p>Because of the Privacy concerns with Google, MySpace, YouTube, and FaceBook, I created LifeConnect.com. It's the only true www.PrivateSocialNetworking.com website. Posting pictures and video of our kids on the web isn't the best idea to protect our privacy. Companies want to invade you privacy by monitoring you habits, clicks, etc.. Why? Well I know why but it's none of theri business and I'm not going to support any website or company that doesn't 100% protect my personal data.

Have you had a chance to look at it? Their games don't cost anything, are casual, and give cash prizes. They use video ads before the game and the user must answer a question about the ad. Its more of a brand recognition bid than a click-through bid.</p> Moola is probably one of the best models right now for monetizing casual gaming. Have you had a chance to look at it?
