As this infographic describes fairly well, Google is no longer limited to “just” searching the web, as the internet giant is now racing all the way back to the past and the possible verge of monopoly. This engaging topic has been the ‘it’ thing for a multitude of bloggers all throughout the blogosphere, as it’s now seriously beginning to raise a few eyebrows with its all to constant and growing invasion to just about every field and sector available – a bubble just waiting to burst.

Google is in fact dominating 66% of the entire web searching market, and US Steel was taken to court by Uncle Sam after it exceeded the 67% control mark over the market. This, only empowered by G-Maps, YouTube, Android, Chrome, Chrome OS, Google Apps etc may even represent somewhat of an indication to what the future holds for this titan. The corporation is actively promoting and even preferring its own offerings when it comes down to its SERPs hierarchy, faces several anti-competitive complaints and does exactly what Microsoft did not so long ago with IE.

As AT&T, Microsoft and Standard Oil already know, some things are just too far out of their league, not necessary in a good way. A monopoly is not a good thing at all, and in the light of family-run street corner boutiques going back all the way to the 1800’s Google should probably set itself a limit, both in terms of growth and slightly more than hinted competition-bashing. Everything comes to an end, and while John Rockefeller did make a more than handsome profit out of the splitting of Standard Oil, the name and even the legacy didn’t get to continue their journey.

Speaking of Rockerfeller, he’s hoping to deter Facebook from having a monopoly on our privacy.
