What If They Switched Google Off? - GoFuckYourself.com

Vendot · 10-10-2007, 03:04 AM

what if Page/Brin suddenly went mad and decided to just switch google off. If they didnt have have ongoing contracts and responsibilities to advertisers etc it would just be a terrible business decision but wouldnt it be entirely upto them as its their company?

How likely is it that they would be arrested just purely because of the huge reliance placed upon that site to get elsewhere?

I am not stoned enough nor do I expect to be in order to even ponder this question let alone an answer that can surpass WTF?

BOSS1 · 10-10-2007, 03:24 AM

Marshal · 10-10-2007, 03:55 AM

mrsoul · 10-10-2007, 04:01 AM

After Shock Media · 10-10-2007, 04:06 AM

So true... and the internet would simply grind to a halt...

I would gladly offer 1$ for google.com to get it off their hands.

Cuz I'm a nice guy!

Well ... at that point buying some Yahoo! stock would be a good idea

PR_Kris · 10-10-2007, 07:33 AM

Schoolchildren would suddenly be unable to spell and hand-in plagarized assignments... national GPA's would drop to "Duhhhh"

Doctor Dre · 10-10-2007, 08:01 AM

Yahoo stock, here I come

SleazyDream · 10-10-2007, 08:06 AM

it would effect a lot of people, but life would go on

martinsc · 10-10-2007, 08:07 AM

MediaGuy · 10-10-2007, 08:19 AM

Yahoo?

MSN (argh, they'd have to improve)?

Who cares really it's just a big search engine... a good one, with lots of cool Lab stuff... but really... they'd have to deal with lawsuits, is all.

Nicky · 10-10-2007, 08:20 AM

edit: wait, gmail would still be up?

well, if they switched it off, they wouldn't have a 404 page... connections would just time out

nAtuRaLbEautY · 10-10-2007, 08:25 AM

gornyhuy · 10-10-2007, 08:27 AM
