what is google doing - lively sucks and so does knol

Seems they are out of ideas ! That is what happens when "so called intelligent" people think of that as "heaven' , yes free food wow thats great isnt it - as though eating is a good thing.

Anyways here is the point
1. lively is only for windows ! well that sucks .. anyways when i tried, i would say second life is million times better , why clone second life ? Google is trying to drive other companies out of business, by bringing bad products, but they do sell, due to the brand name, anyways they are hurting their brand name.
2. I dont use lively now, but i dont use second life too :) , after all these are things which someone who has a lot of time to waste would do. Already social networking seems to be a burden ( i mean text one), why would i spend my life in virtual world, we need to get a life and visit places and not be in virtual world ! Later sell virtual gym too !
3. Yes it would be like Orkut, thats losing its shine and a low performer, so would google news.
4. I wonder people are taking social networking to too much extent, they are just adding to internet traffic. Who has time, i wonder !!!
5. Knol !!! well another great useless product, wasnt wikipedia great ? I dont know why another clone of Wikipedia, and that too a bad one ? Intelligent, they masked it in knol.google.com so that alexa cannot tell the traffic, though lively shows traffic improving and then dropping, people are attracted to it due to the fact that its goog, but unless the product is good, and innovative it will fizz out, there is nothing innovative in this.

Google, is a search engine provider, and they should stick to that, there are lot of things in search that still needs to be solved, and all these seem to be more or less ways of trying to earn more money with ads.

I hate facebook too, its again a huge waste of time, i would say linkedin is the best , they could add more features, like scraps etc, but as such it serves the purpose , being connected. everything else can be done through mails.

True good ones are like twitter, myspace, linkedin, ebay and amazon, google search, ask news according to what i feel.
