Google does more than be a search engine, it collects information about many people across the net. You think your makin money off adsense, but its helping google, making it stronger, you want traffic, you submit your site to google, yet making the database of information larger, and them stronger. Google is everywhere on the internet, i doubt you think about it much, but it is. Without google, we wouldnt recieve the necessary traffic a website needs. Google is feeding off you, but you dont stop it, you keep giving it more. What is your opinion on this?

Well what do you expect Google to do? They aren't going to give you money or resources without recieving anything from you. They provide resources to the web and the bigger they get the more resources they provide and the more helpful they are to mankind. Sure they make more money but good for them. They should for all that they have given us. Until they perform an evil crime or try to take over the world, I will continue to use Google.

It's stupid to think that any corporation's purpose isn't to get money. Google is no exception. What are you going to do about it? Tell the press? OH WAIT THEN THE PRESS GETS MORE MONEY FROM SELLING THE STORY! This is the whole point of capitalism. Provide a service, make money off it.

All that being said, Google is much less evil than many companies.

Google can be evil on the hands of people. How? Ever heard of google hacking? Well many hackers use google as a main scourse to hack sites or servers.Google has enough information about your server,if one knows how to use google right one can hack with it.With google hacking the hacker can get from files to passwords on your server and this is known as google hacking.Now should you ask if google is evil,the answer is yes it can be used for evil.

Well, Google's a search engine. It searches for information. And this is the information age. Everybody, including banking and stuff like that, is using the computer. So there's no way you can really stop it.

I call this scernario a text book type mutual relationship. It happens in real life. It happens with sharks and fishes that eat junk of their teeth while the sharks protecting them from danger. It happens all the time, and now i guess its happening on the net. Google helps you get better, and you help make google better. This is not evil, or bad. This is just a ordinary networked mutual relationship.

Google is fine, as for hacking, is google hacking or are the hackers doing it.... the hackers are.

Google provides loads of nice services, its fair that we pay em bak somehow, and with adsense, you do make money!

About Google Hacking, Google is doing it's best to prevent these things frop happening by adding forbidden combinations of keywoards and search tags, but Google has to try to be as open to people as possible, and by disallowing these kinds of things they slowly restrict the powers their search engine has to offer for both the good and the evil users of it.

nyah Google aint evil, its just plain huge. Moreover Google cant afford to be deemed evil as its not microsoft. The point is that Google till this day is more of a convenience rather than a necessity(Microsoft very well is) and hence we conclude that Google may seem menacing or even intimidating to a few but its here to stay and grow.

Evil Google? WIth buying YouTube recently after putting up Google Video search it may be one step closer to a monopoly. If you consider that an evil act, it could be true! Actually, Google is a company and just because it wants to make money dosn't mean that it wants to ruin any company.

As for the searches and the databases, isn't it a good thing that Google CAN expand instead of being close-minded like Yahoo or MSN searches? Can you find stuff on Google that you can't on Yahoo or MSN? Heck yes!
