Marketwatch Misses Point of 'Google More Foe than Friend' story - Interesting Headline but Body Lacks Teeth

In Bambi Francisco's Marketwatch piece today she does a good service by capturing a reader's attention but then doesn't follow up with good logic of why Google might be more foe than friend. Nowhere in the article does it appear she has mentioned why they're a foe. Her main point is that Google's video search technology doesn't trump Truveo's small operation (who has a successful and accurate search). And then she pats herself on the back for her 2006 predictions, then on interviewing Truveo. In her defense it's commentary, not actual hard news.

She also doesn't clearly delineate between what is different from Apple's business model and Google's, though repeats the point numerous times that they are different.

Must be a slow news day, huh.
