[Web4lib] Google bashing

[Sloan, Bernie]

I liked the following John Murrell quote from today's Good Morning
Silicon Valley blog:

"It's hard to muster up sympathy for a company whose market cap is north
of $110 billion and climbing, but some days, you just want to say 'poor
Google.' Cursed by being big, clever, popular, rich and ambitious, the
company can hardly pet a puppy without being called a dognapper."

Murrell was referring to this blog entry about today's announcement of
LC's "World Digital Library" project:
