What would happen if google closes it's doors tomorrow?

[ndee]

I think the whole economy would go downhill. Other thoughts?

I still won't use MS or Yahoo, those bastards.

 

[Saint Nick]

i'm sure i'd find some alternative.

 

[thecrecarc]

O NOES!!! (faints)


actully, i think ur right. and that there will be rioting at google hq

 

[acemcmac]

how do you figure?

IMHO, everyone would find another search engine and nobody would care except for the broke stockholders. It's not like millions of people's 401k's are investing in google :roll:

 

[bigrash]

nothing would change

 

[KK]

Not only search engine wise. Also the whole Adwords Economy, Search Engine a.k.a. Google Optimization books etc.

all that money associated in google would probobly just shift over to microsoft/yahoo...

Not like the brains who worked there are gonna all die.

I would sieze the moment, and fill the gap with my own company and software. Instead of Google, there would be Carbo. Hmmmm. . .

[God On Alcohol]

[ShadoWing]

[Cooler]

most people would panic

 

[yosuke188]

I'd kill myself

 

[everman]

An army of angry shareholders will beat down the doors with seige weapons taking no prisoners in the ensuing frenzy.

 

[chambersc]

i'd cry.

 

[Eeezee]

I don't think anything bad would happen to our economy. There are other companies that can take Google's place.

It might hurt the porn industry a little bit.

I'd be stocking up at the gun store, since this isn't likely to happen unless the US economy is in a shambles and we're heading for the Mad Max age.

Too bad most gun dealers will want gold or canned tuna instead of VFINX
