Just when we think Google has taken over the Internet,it will be taking over our TV's too! I thought it was a good idea to do my blog on this, since I wrote my blog about 4 weeks ago about how Google is often compared to God.(In a non-religious way) Google is the main stream way to search the last news on Kate Gosslin to the daily lottery numbers or even how to boil an egg. Everything you need to know, is on Google. Good or bad, right or wrong, it is on there. Google is launching and testing a new TV network that will allow you to search the satellite for your favorite shows. Much like you can search for anything on Google.com. And of course this means more advertising for Google doesn't it? If they can increase their ad revenues with service providers (which will be hard) they can do anything. So if service providers can benefit from this and share more information then they do now. There may be a future with Google TV.
Personally, do I want to see this. Not really. I am a huge Google fan so I may be more likely to try it out then your average person, but does Google need to be on TV? I am leaning more towards no. I personally think they shouldn't branch out into the TV world, unless it is totally apparent that it will be a good thing for our viewers. One thing I can not stand is when companies branch out or get to big for their shoes. Get settled, test it and research it, and then MAYBE we can talk Google TV.

Google is such a mainstream engine search that can be looked at by it's users as reliable and trusty. Since google is so popular it is hard for other search engines to break through on the internet. Whether I was planning on using a different search engine or not for some reason every time I am searching i automatically type in google.com. Sine google has become so large and well known i believe that they will be sucsessful at almost anything else that they do. They have already created a large brand awareness for their name that I believe if they want to take the next step to something else, now would be a good time for them to do it.
