John Battelle is someone I follow on Twitter. I love reading his stuff. I like what he is doing with Federated Media (giving advertisers access to 'conversational media', entering the world of branded content etc) and I like how he thinks about things related to digital.
He posted a few interesting 'tweets' (ugh I hate that word) today re Google. I thought I'd repost them here.

Let's make a list of oceans that Google plans to boil, shall we?
1. Computer Operating Systems. Oh, well, no really, Web Operating Systems (Chrome et al).
2. Search. Check that one as boiled, but it's not easy to keep that ocean at true temperature.
3. Cloud computing, including applications (also known as Office).
4. Healthcare data. Really.
5. The entire mobile ecosystem, from OS to hardware (android).
6. Energy. Yep, energy (figuring out how to come up with sustainable energy below the cost of coal). Through Google.org.
7. The entire advertising/marketing ecosystem, offline and online.
8. Traditional methodologies and understandings of how a public company comports itself.
PS - # 7 includes analytics, ad serving, ad selling, integrated programs, TV, radio, print, etc.
9. Social networking. Yes, dead serious, they are playing against MySpace, Facebook, etc.
10. The entire UGC media world with YouTube and Blogger and Knol et al.
You tell me, is the company stretched too thin?
