03.03.2006 - Google, MySpace Come Crashing Back To Earth
<p>Every few years, Somebody Important in the tech industry anoints a new king. Microsoft gave way to Amazon, which then begat Google, the reining monarch. Along the way there are princes and other royalty we watch to see if they have the stuff to someday take over the crown--Marimba and dozens of others, now victims of the Internet bubble, were in that camp. And now MySpace is there, too.</p>
<p>But the past week provided even more evidence that both MySpace and, yes, even Google are, at their core, companies run by human beings who like all of us make mistakes and whose reach sometimes is greater than their grasp. Good thing, too, or else there would be precious little innovation.</p>
