Google Shuts Down Anti-Obama Blogs on Blogger


Seems like Google has joined the forces with Barack Obama campaign and now they are shutting down anti-obama Blogspots blogs.

One of the blogger has reported that he used to Own a Happy internet home on blogger.com and on Wednesday night he received below mail from Blogger Team:

This is not the only case .. at Hillaryclintonforum there is a thread Blogger just shut down my NObama Blog!! Have your blog been affected?

All I can say is, WOW! If Google is willing to abuse its power like this even against fellow leftists, what does it plan against conservatives, the folks Google hates even more!?

Here is a list of the Blogspot blogs that have been frozen by Google thus far:

  1. Blue Lyon - http://bluelyon.blogspot.com

Google’s Android


Well, If you’re a developer then you can get that information aboubt Android on the Android site. But if you’re interested in the history of Android, how much Google may have paid for the platform and its hypothetical outlook, you can read this long Wired article.

According to Nielsen Mobile Google already has a commanding lead in mobile search:

  1. Google (61%)
  2. Yahoo! (18%)
  3. MSN (5%)

One could thus argue that Google doesn’t need Android to succeed to win in mobile. Indeed, there are tough competitors and skeptics that Google faces there: “frenemy” Apple, Nokia and ambivalent or even hostile US carriers.

While Google has made a big, very public bet on Android, it can afford to take a long-term view of mobile. Unlike a startup with limited funding Google could wait a decade for Android to pay dividends. And by then mobile search will almost certainly have surpassed the desktop in volume, if not in monetization.
