The Google Browser?
Through Harold, I found this quote by Seth Godin regarding the recent events (Google hired a key Firefox developer):
- Running a successful open source effort is a great idea. I can’t think of an individual who has invested the time and not had a great personal outcome as well.
- Google understands what I failed to persuade Yahoo! of a long time ago–owning the browser is a home run. Microsoft has botched their ownership of IE, because they think like bullies, and you can’t bully consumers into doing what they don’t want to do. The idea of a Google browser is powerful from both a user and a commercial perspective, mainly because Google’s culture will make it work.
