Re: How does GoogleMaps and Live Search Maps make money?

Yeah it is not so much the advertising that you see on the device as it is they want to saturate your mind with services from their company and get you hooked on all of their services, and I must say google is doing a fine job of this on me. I would not use google search for a long time because it seemed to be the popular thing to do and I have a strong counter culture side to me, but one day I tried it and after doing it a few times and Yahoo's search not giving me results that I liked as much as google, I changed.

Then I changed to gmail for unlimited inbox and now I use calendar, contacts, and every other service they offer.

(I hear yahoo's search has gotten better.)
