Whatever Comes to Mind

I just saw this and I'm in shock. I really don't know how they're a media company in what I think is media. But nonetheless, this is step in the right direction for media control. I just watched Manufacturing Consent, a documentary on Noam Chomsky and his book with the same title, and its great to see the control of information aggregation is moving towards open links and free connections based on content not ad-dollars. Their search and news and blogging, and everything else in that magic hat of theirs has changed the way we think and read and find anything. Instead of depending on one source to tell us what's going on, we are actually searching it out and finding out more than what's fed to us. The many-many model of the net, I've been on a kick about this lately, is realized. Google helped us that a set closer to making this world more democratic by opening the gate to information. Thanks Google! I don't know what I'd do without you.
