Google turns 9 today… Happy Birthday! (it just so happens to be my birthday as well, but that’s slightly less notable.)

We write a lot about Google here (as do lots of others), and I think it’s a rare day that I don’t touch something associated with Google. But, I’m still trying to decide if Google’s quest for world domination (if that’s what it is) is a good thing or not.

With all the insanely great things Google has done (or should that read, “… Google have done”?), like Google Maps, Google Earth, Gmail, Google Video, etc…, should we be concerned about Google encroachment in our web browsers, on our desktops, and even the real world? Or should we welcome it?
