		<description>Isaac,

Consider this as an investment. Google plans are much bigger than they seem right now. Moving to Writely from Microsoft Word is not possible in the current environment &#039;cause of the number of year people have been using it.  But Google&#039;s slow penetration into universities and colleges today is going to make users ready for prime time use of Google Product tomorrow when they join jobs. In the meantime as SaaS catches up in the market and companies looking for low cost hosted options, they will see Google as the best option since users will already know their way around the product.

I understand that from a startup perspective spending millions on advertising is not feasible. But do we really have an option? I think if the competing product has real value, how much ever Google advertises it wont be able to be the market leader. Take the case of Google Video vs Youtube.

Anyway Gmail should be a very-very profitable product for Google right now. And so will be blogger. They might have similar plans for JotSpot and Docs soon.

		<description>Add up your estimates for those four words (there are many more than those few that Google is &quot;buying&quot;) and multiply X 365 = $7,636,898.00/year

That is a significant amount of $$$ to be spending on keyword buys for FREE PRODUCTS!   That number will DWARF the advertising budgets for all of the &quot;emerging Office 2.0&quot; products - companies combined BY A LONG SHOT.

And thats just 4 keywords.</description>
