The Long Tail: Nick Carr on why Google makes the complements to its core business free: "Nick Carr on why Google makes the 'complements' to its core business free
Nick Carr has an awkward role to play in the world. He is one of the most insightful thinkers about technology's impact on the world, but he has also chosen to be this era's most erudite technology curmudgeon.
In practice, this boils down to a love/hate relationship with Google, which Carr both understands on a really deep level and constantly frets about. You might argue (with reason) that those two are not mutually exclusive, but there is such a gap between the rigor with which he approaches the first and the hyperbole he uses in the second, that one has to wonder if the second is just for show."
