Radio

Why does this not surprise me: Google is now in the radio business. It made news all over the place yesterday. If, as so often is said, content is king, then Google is not only king...it is quickly rising to the rank of emperor. Google gives access to a world of content and now they are starting to control the content channels, too. Maybe they’ll call it Roogle or Radioo.

Yesterday it was radio. However, their recent moves into print ads and newspapers ads would indicate that the Google, once content to rule advertising in the online world, now has its sights set on an empire that includes traditional advertising tools as well.

None of this is unexpected if you look at Google’s Mission Statement: To organize all the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Wow! That doesn’t exclude much, does it?
