Google To Launch Amazon S3 Competitor ‘Google Storage’ At I/O
From a business WHY are they doing this?<p>The vast majority of their revenue comes from selling advertising on Google OWNED sites eg google.com:<p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-of-the-day-in-case-you-had-any-doubts-about-where-googles-revenue-comes-from-2010-2" rel="nofollow">http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-of-the-day-in-case-you-...</a><p>Google is the industry leader at monetizing search, but nothing else they do comes close.<p>I am truly curious - is the reason that Google keeps investing time and money in "line-extension" businesses to distract competitors, keep the antitrust police away, what?
