Now that the IPO is over, now what Google?

I think it's interesting that Google had such hype over the IPO and all that needed to be cleaned up before it happened. There were court settlements, the magazine interview which I'm not sure if that's still being looked into and all the housekeeping chores to get it ready. I think what's been missing is something geewhiz to come out of Google in a while. There hasn't been anything new except for some beta try of G-mail. This is usually what happens when a company goes public with such fanfare. I believe that it's such a distraction that a lot of what got them there in the first place is forgotten. Now that they're publically traded, look for changes in the style of how they do things. They been held up as a loose company, creative and I think for some time that's been true. Those days might be over and every creative act will be looked upon as how the profit picture would be. Because of that, creativity will probably go down. I hope it doesn't happen.

Don't get me wrong, I like Google. They've done more for search than anyone up to now. It's just that I hope that the creativity that got them here, won't be squashed in the future. I'm waiting for Google's upgraded or desktop search. That would be interesting!
