internet - Is Google screwing us?

The thought has crossed my mind more than once when the Google-China row developed. Business Week follows up on that thought and their weblog reports on a chat with Rishad Tobaccowala, chief innovation officer of Publicis Groupe Media (and now head of its new-born digital consultancy, Denuo):

Tobaccowala also maintains that Google benefits from imprecise searches. His point: If your searches delivered the Web page you were looking for, the adjacent advertising wouldn't be nearly as tempting.

This is going to be a major debate.
