I heard on the news that Google is giving one million to the recovery efforts in Haitian. i wondered if my ears deceived me. One Million? Maybe they are doing donations in installments and this is only the first one. This company is worth billions. It has spend millions to digitize orphan books and more money to pursue court litigation to confirm this right. Google is also spending millions on its various map projects. There are the google phones. Google owns Youtube. Google uses gmail to run advertisements. Google is even collecting information about its email account users. from the content of your emails, where you live and visit through its maps. Your tastes and preferences through the worldwide web. It is quietly amassing a database of information about its users which will be worth miillions, even billions to companies. I think it also owns at least one advertising company. So I ask again One miillion? is it because they dont think they will see a return on their money if the donate it to Haiti or is it because they don't believe in human rights? While they are threatening to leave China now because of the constraints in china, they were willing to limit searches on their website in China to promote good relations with the Chinese government. why? because profit lurked around the corner. I guess the same cannot be said about Haiti, at least not in the short term. so what is google?
