No Google in 2010!

Yesterday we (Ingo, Clemens, Masoud and me) had a very emotional discussion on why Google is so successfull -or how some people say- why Google rocks. To be honest, Google is still one of my favorite search engines, but I really believe that no one will use Google in 5 years or so. The Google search engine is not a rocket science. - "Everyone" can build such a search engine. Google has just a good brand (and maybe a good business model) today - and I'm not sure if this brand will survive the next years. Have a look on what Google is doing since months: they invest in new markets (Gmail, Google Maps, Froogle, ....). Will Google really be our search engine in 5 years?

What about the German company Web.de? You will know Web.de as a very good web mailer today. But 5(?) years ago, we knew Web.de as a web catalog like Yahoo. That was their starting market. Maybe Google will be still there in 2010 but they will be not our search engine number one any longer. Ask the people of Altavista, they also can tell you a story about that ...

See you again in 2010.

I believe that any DataLayer must be a simple code block, that they allow operations against DB.

That code block would not have to know on the Business Entities. Single to specialize it is to execute the operations (Store Procedures and SQL Sentences) against the engine DB (SQL, Oracle, DB2, etc.), with which this setting.

Finally, I invite to you to download the DataLayer.Primitives Public Version.

This is very cool Data Layer :)

DataLayer.Primitives - Readme!

New form of comment spam? Instead of random gibberish, it's this message each time :)

(It struck me because I've seen it come up in another post which had absolutely nothing to do with data layers)

What I find funny about google is that a lot of their new markets are actually beta products :p

I personally think google is starting to get worse:
No matter what topic I'm searching for it seems like the top 20 matches is someone trying to sell me something.(I'm not talking about the paid placements).

I wish they would let you set a filter saying that you are not looking for a service, but just information when you search.

I dont know about this Guy, who wrote this.

He has written this in about 2005, 2010 is not far now.

Still google grows much faster than it was/will be...

Google is going to dominate the Internet for few decades.
