98% of their income comes from Adwords and in nearly a decade they've been unable to deliver a single additional revenue stream of any significance despite their near dominance in the marketplace.

Not to mention, everything they have done, has been a copy cat project.
Yeah, I hear you. Groups went nowhere. Knol still hasn't seriously challenged Wikipedia. Google even had a version of Yahoo Answers. Lots of pretty new ribbons on a one trick pony?
