That didn’t happen for many reasons, however, and now James Allworth at the Harvard Business Review suggests that Google faces the risk of its Android cash cow running dry. Phone makers and carriers are stripping Google’s revenue opportunities from the platform by choosing different search engines, for example.

Allworth points to a potentially dire future for Google, even though the search giant recently reported mobile search revenues topping $1 billion: It won’t be long before Google’s “allies” in the Open Handset Alliance — the manufacturers making Android phones — realize that Google needs them a lot more than they need Google, and auction off the default search services on the phones they ship. Google may have no choice but to buy their support, too.

And it surely won’t come cheap. Going it alone hurts hardware partners. Forget the carriers and their networks. Google Updates Freebase Gridworks, Renames It Google Refine. When Google acquired Metaweb last summer it got Freebase Gridwork, a tool for cleaning up messy datasets, as part of the deal. Today Google released a new version of the tool, now called Google Refine. Like its predecessor, Google Refine is open source. Google Refine is a tool for working with datasets, including but not limited to Freebase. According to Google, it can be used for: "cleaning up inconsistencies, transforming them from one format into another, and extending them with new data from external web services or other databases. " Major new features include: New extension architecture. There are also many new commands and expressions - a complete list can be found here.

For more information on Freebase, see our overview. Knowledge sharing across Africa with Baraza beta. En Français One of the challenges for the Internet in Africa is that there is a lack of local content online. To help users in Africa enrich and shape the content about Africa, our engineers have created Google Baraza. Baraza, which means “taskforce” or “council” in Swahili, allows people in countries across Africa to share knowledge with each other by asking questions and posting answers. A large number of questions that are typed into Google’s search engine by users are written as if they were talking to their friends. For example, “How can I write a movie script for Nollywood?”

Or “How does the stock exchange operate in Ghana?” A few weeks ago, we opened up Google Baraza to a select group of users in Africa to test the new service. Google Baraza is designed specifically for users in Africa to make it easy to get answers to their questions. We are really excited about this service.

Op-Ed Contributor - Google's Earth. “I ACTUALLY think most people don’t want Google to answer their questions,” said the search giant’s chief executive, Eric Schmidt, in a recent and controversial interview.

“They want Google to tell them what they should be doing next.” Do we really desire Google to tell us what we should be doing next? I believe that we do, though with some rather complicated qualifiers. Science fiction never imagined Google, but it certainly imagined computers that would advise us what to do. We have yet to take Google’s measure. Google is not ours. We never imagined that artificial intelligence would be like this. Cyberspace, not so long ago, was a specific elsewhere, one we visited periodically, peering into it from the familiar physical world.

Jeremy Bentham’s Panopticon prison design is a perennial metaphor in discussions of digital surveillance and data mining, but it doesn’t really suit an entity like Google. Much of the discussion of Mr. Google SMS for your phone.
