What Would Google Do?

These next few chapters in our book talk mostly about organizing information. Examples are ways that Facebook organizes friends and Craigslist organizes items for sell. It is important that things are organized and easy to find. Often if items are hard to find we give up on them. Google's main purpose is to find things easily. It is easier for Google and other sites to track what customers want and are interested in than it is for a store like Walmart to keep track of this. Everything is online and organized. One fear is that jobs such as the "middle man" may go away. For example real estate agents may not be need anymore because people can look for their own houses on the internet. We think that even though some jobs may be in jeopardy, there will be other jobs created that we don't know about.

One question that my group had was is Google does all of these things for free, how do they make money?? How do they do so much for free??
