This is why Google is so interested in buying apps like Yelp or launching their own phone like Nexus One since they realize this is the year mobile search really takes off and if they just stick to browser based search their overall share will diminish.

A friend recently asked me about a domain name he was thinking of buying. If you end up buying the domain name will other site owners linking to that domain name remove the links to you? If the archive.org versions redirect to another domain name then that might be an indication that you don’t really want to buy the domain name.
