What is Google After?

Saw this on Amit Aggarwal’s Digital Inspiration blog.  It is about how a company Congregational Security uses Google Apps, Earth, Maps etc to protect dignitaries and celebs in Israel and India (as well as US).

So its pretty interesting that some company can use the Google stuff in totally unrelated ways!

Now, about the real story that Amit missed… can you imagine if Google started monetizing these Apps?  Started charging for it instead of giving it out “Google-Free”?  This may be the only reason why I would go ahead and buy Google stock now for my kids!!  Guys, its not about the coolness.. its about the control over meta-data that they are after.. Google Earth, Google Space.. and also Google Ocean on going as well.  Its about the metadata and Universal Intelligence that they are after!  Hmm are we missing it?
