仍然希望，Google能够尽快提供一个公开的、可以直接沟通的渠道。

实际上，Google在中国虽然不很优秀，但一直在努力。有这点就够了。再说一些近乎可耻的指桑骂槐的话，只能显出我们的浅薄和不厚道。

在创业圈子里有句老话“做早了就是做错了”。在创业 的时候，如果你早市场几步，那就根本没有什么市场。很难说清楚创业时候的早半步和早几步的区别，所以大多数的创业公司最后都趋向灭亡。Google能运行 相当长的时间，并取得了盈利，这是件很不错的事情。

现实是，Google做出了一个对自己不利，对我这样的中国人有利的决定。

以前的搜索引擎就是以高效(Efficient)简单(Easy)而让人喜欢，如今的谷歌默认的情况是以吸引人(Engaging)和容错性 (Error Tolrant)为主打性能。孰优孰劣一看便知，不知道google中国是否学习谢尔盖的2007的计划，一个核心的词就是simplify，实在让人看得莫名。

arry Page, Google’s president of products, indicated that Google was not about to pull out of China. “I’d hate for us as a company to make what we thought was the wrong decision in China based on worrying about our reputation,” he said.

When we're faced with a bad search result or a relevance problem, our first instinct is to look for an automatic way to solve the problem instead of trying to fix a particular search by hand.

当然我也知道，Google.COM也可以自动识别中国地区的IP，新版Google网上论坛的这些修改是否意味着，会不会在将来的某一天，中国地区访问Google.COM也会出现这样的提示？

Google will become our phone company, our cable company, our stereo system and our digital video recorder. Soon we won't be able to live without Google, which will have marginalized the ISPs and assumed most of the market capitalization of all the service providers it has undermined -- about $1 trillion in all -- which places today's $500 Google share price about eight times too low.

我们所在的时空里，内容就意味着风险。一个可以被用作内容发布的、或以内容为中心的互联网工具，始终处于被掐掉的高危状态。

我逐渐发现，自己喜欢的好东西，未必应该全力推荐给别人，因为会有各种各样的因素影响”好东西”的推广。

I think Larry and Sergey have a much more pronounced interest in the core technology than Jerry and David.

正向Foundation Capital 的合伙人Moldow所说的“Google越是更多地开始考虑如何对付微软，就越少扮演纯粹的搜索角色，而且这也为新的创新打开了大门，对于我们来说，这是再好不过了。”

The new lock-in tactic for raising switching costs is attention metadata. And the only things that keep it in check are privacy concerns, ownership, portability and all those things Steve Gillmor waxes poetic about.

Google is the start page for the Internet

也许Google正处在公众意见转变的临界点。越来越多的人希望看到 Google 出娄子。而每次出了娄子，媒体就会添油加醋。而每次他们都会把那句座右铭翻出来。

the fact is a company blog is the fastest way to reach out. So we hope you continue to enjoy the rich stew we aim to serve. And before long, perhaps you can begin leaving comments directly. We're working on that. Meanwhile, our very best for a satisfying 2007 to you and yours.

据不完全证明，google比较怕人祸，不太怕天灾。
