Two steps ahead !
In a very competitive market these days, average internet company found it is not easy to break elites dominance. With billion dollar entering market, more technology breaktrough involved, more inovative ways needed to win competition.
However, for established company, the strategic choice is not limited only in technological platform but also in user acceptance in a new developed platform.
Lets think about Microsoft. Yes, Microsoft has bought facebook, powerset, and photosynth to strengthen it's presence in web market. They also launch Silverlight as one of "poisonious" marketing strategic. When there's enough people using this platform, then it means more money will arrive, and more available business models will show their existence.
But Microsoft has a distiguish name in monopoly the market. See what happens with Netscape, Wordperfect, Digital Research, Sony Playstations, and early Apple. Microsoft has kicked out all of them, and later on "eat" them.
Now lets check Adobe, after they bought Macromedia (a very clever strategy), and with a nature of technological advantage they have, it is not hard to understand why Google "hates" them. If you cann't win the competition, then joint them. Otherwise you'll extinc. I believe this is why -one reason- Google buy Youtube, a successfull flash applied technology. Another reason, a flash site is breaking down Google's search quality model, this is why Google bought Youtube so they know what happen inside Youtube. Lastly, Google developed Gaudi, so search quliaty is improved, nevertheles irrelevant. (Do you know that world is 2.5 times search for "youtube" keyword these days compare with "google" keyword ?)
Now, for our favourite key player, Google has a unpredictable strategy, despites of the media covered news, we usually hard to catch up what Google trying to do with his future. Barely nothing for a clear Google Platform Building Blocks. Everything is in the cloud. At least until now.
Now it is clear what Google trying to do.
First, they try to 2 steps ahead the competitor.
They are not -even tryng- to head to head strategy with competitor. They inovate, and not regulated. They co-opetition rather than competition. They use Linux, build biggest computer cluster from small computer, and they use phyton in GAE. They use and believe in open source, and they built market with free support arround the globe, without spend marketing cost a dime.
Second, they build separate services appears not related, but actually they do. They build Gears to run web application off-line (so it makes OS more irrelevant), they build Chrome to speed up java script execution (so it is possible for non flash apps to gain more speed), and they launch open source Android to provide the -3 times user than internet- as anew market for Google services.
What's left is HTML5 and Adobe Air. This is still not clear for us. But as Larry Page and Sergey Brin do at early Google, they built a PC with Lego Blocks, it looks like this is what they do when they built for Google's Future...

Gaudi is Google newest Google Labs Project to indexing audio content. Google Audio Indexing is a new technology from Google that allows users to better search and watch videos from YouTube channels (right now limited only to Politician Channel). It uses speech technology to find spoken words inside videos and lets the user jump to the right portion of the video where these words are spoken marked with yellow bars on the progress meter (see below.). Those videos with the terms are shown in order of relevance.As more video content is being created everyday, Google Audio Indexing tries to make it easier for people to find and use spoken content from videos on the Web.
Google Audio Indexing is a showcase for Google's Speech Technology built internally. Why Political Video ? Political videos has received a lot of academic and industry attention and is known for well quality.
GAUDI: Google's Audio Indexing Project
Google Audio Indexing uses speech technology to transform spoken words into text and leverages the Google indexing technology to return the best results to the user.
The returned videos are then ranked based -- among other things -- on the spoken content, the metadata, the freshness.
Gaudi periodically crawl the YouTube political channels for new content. As soon as a new video is uploaded to YouTube, it is processed by Google's system and made available in Google's index for people to search.
As a web developer, recently I have an extra work regarding user interface usability. This project is a mashup project with many Google services involved. When we study all posibility to achieve maximum and widest option that we could have, we found annoying behaviour at user interface from Google's UI design.
This diagram will describe it :
Our proposed diagram would be something like :
What Google actually need ? Better usability or better user experience.
Yes, we could understand that many improvements were made by Google. But with the speed of the acquisition that was shown by Google (increased the new service), Better UI, is a must.

The concept of convergence of the real world with the net world possibly was understood by us as virtual world, that is take the form of 3d animation from the real world. This concept could be experienced by us in secondlife.com or in lively.com.
But had you thought about being the reverse? Yes, how about if this convergence took the form of the real world that being digitalize? My point is, with online camera you could click real places in real terms time? (this Concept we called "convergence2" to distinguish with general convergence was understood by us)
This kind of technology could have been met by you, although still in simple concept which is in Google Earth. Why simple ? Simply our intention was still was not yet real time. But if capital of the market has sufficed, we were sure a new player just came with “the next logical step” that is real time engine. Had tried that was more real like everyscape.com?
You may visit Beverly Hills in a panoramix manner here. Or the Laguna Beach coast? Isn't this interesting ? You could see around Beverly hills, in fact you in the front of your computer ...
Now, think about future posibility of this concept. Some people mentioned about shopping in your neighbourhood convenience store, visit them online and real time with Google Street View Apps, click at your favourite snack and meal, sit back, and it will delivered to your room just like you ordered a pizza...
If you think this is impossible, so what do you think ?

In Five days (Sept. 4 2008), if nothing wrong happens, New Google Earth Satelitte will launch this week. This satellite named GeoEye-1.
Google's current imagery in Google Earth spans a range of resolution, the coarsest being 15 square meters per pixel, which is only good enough to see larger geographic features. With this new satellite Google Earth capable up to 1,65 meter resolution. However 3 meters resolution will mostly more suitable in cost of bandwidth arround the world.
Google Earth will start collecting new image with bigger resolution from new satelitte after few month from launch date due technical and legal matters.
After a lengthy U.S. Government interagency review, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) notified commercial imagery providers that the 24-hour hold rule that was required for imagery at a resolution better than .82-meter is no longer in place. On June 29, 2007, GeoEye’s commercial remote sensing license was modified to reflect this change. This means that when GeoEye-1 launches in September 2008, GeoEye will be able to sell imagery as soon as possible after it has been captured.
Besides the unrivaled spatial resolution of 0.41-meters or about 16 inches, GeoEye-1 is designed to have three-meter accuracy, which means that customers can map natural and man-made features to within three meters of their actual locations on the surface of the Earth without ground control points. This level of accuracy is unsurpassed. At 0.41-meter resolution, GeoEye-1 would be able to 'see' home plate on a baseball diamond and be able to precisely locate it within three meters of its true location on the surface of the globe. As far as imagery collection, in the panchromatic mode (black and white mode) the satellite will be capable of collecting up to 700,000 square kilometers in a single day and in the multispectral mode (colour mode) 350,000 square kilometers per day. Spatial resolution, geolocation accuracy and large-area coverage are the three specifications that commercial and government customers desire most.
