So, you may improve a few milliseconds on a DNS lookup, but then lose a boatload of time going to the wrong CDN location to get the site’s assets. It (currently) will be a big overall slowdown for a lot of users.

.
How many “sheeple” will sign up for this without a second thought?
.
It’s bad enough that most people let Google track all of their searches, read all of their emails (Gmail), read all of their voicemails (Google Voice), read all of their whatever-it-is-you-do-on-Google-Wave, and maybe even record/keyword-scan all of their voice calls (Google Voice) without a second thought; now they’ll rush to let Google track every website they visit, whether they googled it or not.
.
That company is really getting frightening in its new and creative ways to spy on everything we do.

India and some parts of Asia we’re not as fast, but that’s quickly changing. North America we’re faster from what I’ve read and heard.

Over the time this could mean much more to them. This move infact is very much inline with their mission to organize world’s information.

Every project in Google is evaluated for cash flow opportunities..

  • Speed, so you can search more often and get served more ads.
  • Data, so they learn habits better and serve you better ads.

Nope, not about ads at all.
