Well, Google could pretty much do anything they want regardless. Same for any of those giants, doesn't mean money can't be made or an idea shouldn't have been followed. All a matter of what they want to do. I have a friend who is a programmer and has had many opportunities to make gobs of money doing other things - instead he has his own company a company of one and calls up his freelance buddies when he gets a contract that takes more than one. He makes his money and moves on to the next project developing custom software for clients similar to glowdot but he doesn't have a website and he's been doing this for over 20 years. Still makes a good chuck of money but not as much as he could. I guess the point is, just because Google or someone else doesn't do it doesn't mean it can't make good money.
