Right about now I am wishing I would have kept on the path less traveled and gotten my masters in Information Systems Analysis and went on to law school to become a corporate attorney. When I think about how much the attorney's battling out the disputes between the internet giants must be billing it makes my head spin even trying to think about it.
Trust it is not a matter of greed one good case would probably set me right. Can you imagine having a portfolio that included setting precedence for the Internet giants: speaking engagements, graduation ceremonies, professorships, board appointments, what wouldn't happen?
I'm wondering what will happen though if Google and FACEBOOK were to stop disallowing cross pollination. What if FACEBOOK says okay no more links to YouTube videos via our website. What would happen if Google filtered FACEBOOK from their search results.
Well let me tell you I would be very disappointed. Who am I? The small fry who depends on the services, creativity, and innovation of these technology giants to make things less cumbersome day-to-day.
What if a user went to hit the share button to share a video they like with their FACEBOOK friends and were no longer able to. I know several of my friends post YouTube videos all the time which helps me to journey down memory lane.
I hope the battle for control or lack of control does not worsen between the internet giants. "Can't we all just get along" as in the famous words of Rodney King.
