Google: World domination, one advertising venue at a time

My theory that Google, Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) intends to become the largest advertising network the planet has ever seen is starting to bear some initial fruit, folks.

The fact that I can use Google to provide you with this link (where this has been uttered from my keyboard for a little under a year) at least you can let me toot a little bit of horn, right? Barring all those links, try the below links on for size:
It's pretty apparent that I needn't go on. Then, I ran into a small interview snippet from Tim O' Reilly, head of O' Reilly Publishing and the man who coined the term "Web 2.0." O'Reilly hinted at Google's offering of a free 411 (information providing) service as a way for the company to build an enormous database of voice recognition profiles. O'Reilly thinks that Google 411 has nothing to do with a 411 service and everything to do with building a free or cheap voice speech database so it doesn't have to buy that technology from somebody else. True or not, it would not surprise me to see Google do this for an "on the cheap" motive.

And, I still believe Google has the goal of becoming the world's largest advertising network.
