As time goes by, we hear more and more in the media about failing negotiations between Google and the government of China, and rumours of an April 10th, 2010 pull-out deadline. Although this does not seem to affect the rest of the world, consider this; Google’s main business strategy (in my opinion) is to be at the center of as many communication channels as possible, and to organize and share the worlds information (with respect to privacy of course). So what happens if you take out all of China’s contributers to all of Google’s services?
After all, it isn’t just Google Search that is pulling out, but possibly all of Google’s services. You can see it’s status here.
