Look at the data warehouses they have created to consistently support massive web archiving and ordering. Pretty fascinating designs.

Capitalism absolutely depends on competition, hence our keen observation for potential abuse by monopolies.

There is little doubt in my mind that Google isn't approaching a search and information controlling monopoly in practice. He who gathers all the data owns it. They own our clicks/searches and click scoring.

Yes there is competition, but hands down they are the best and own search. I have used Bing, and others and have found them lacking. But even in the face of this powerful search monopoly real time search, and social search as evolved.

Perhaps monopolies can be bypassed in the space of the net, due to its very nature. User needs evolve, and that need drives innovation. Entrepreneurs feed off of that gap between need and availability. No one else is more empathetic to a users real needs than the relentless attention of startups. We'll fulfill what users most need because we won't even consider what they don't need. Big businesses have to deal with the cost of momentum shift within their large structures, and therefore roll onward unable to change course as fast emerging markets.

While you're not advocating it, you are the first (I've seen) to point out how search competition could be explicitly monetized by the newspapers.
