Is there anyone out there who doesn't resort to Google or "Googling" something?
The web search engine is engaged in a war to maintain its dominance. But look at what Google is doing to ensure its place on your computer - and everyone elses for that matter. The Huffington Post reports on the goings on in Washington.
"You can't swing a dead cat video in Washington lately without hitting a lobbyist, consultant, attorney or adviser on retainer to Google or one of its tech rivals. Google, whose top executives have long been a bottomless cup of campaign coffee for Democrats, is finally entering its bipartisan phase, theatrically hiring Republican operatives and broadcasting the news through insider Washington publications, pumping air into a K Street tech bubble.
The shift in political strategy comes as Google faces a serious antitrust threat, punctuated by a high-profile hearing on the company held Wednesday afternoon in the Senate. But Google's investment in the infrastructure of the conservative movement goes much deeper than what's been reported this summer."
