All its products are marginal improvements on things other people have pioneered (webmail, map service, etc.). The only worthwhile thing they have is their search engine, and sooner or later, someone will come up with a better one. At $400, their shares are way overvalued.

As an investment, Google is very risky. You might say it is in the fad stage. If the economy turns down, you can expect the price of Google stock to become much more reasonable.
As for the search engine, I use it but I do not particularly like it. I get results that absolutely have no bearing whatsoever on my question--thousands. Of course the other search engines seem to have the same problem.

Google is waaayy overated. They're making money now but once the economy goes down and the advertising revenue starts to fry up they will be in real trouble. I wouldn't even pay 100 for it, let alone 400.

Yes! Google is not in any way better than other search engines. Personally I find it by far inferior to yahoo and alltheweb.com
My personal motto is: Google sucks. Stop using it.

Yes, it is overrated judging from the investment standpoint.
I hardly used Google, and I do my research using Yahoo.

I think it is, but according to recent studies, Google leads the pack in accurate results.

I definitely think they are overrated !! I have yet to get any answers from google. I guess I am asking too difficult of questions.
As for their stock : definitely OVER priced !!

http://tech-stocks.org/ had a good breakdown of GOOG's valuation a couple of weeks ago. It sure seems that the stock is priced for perfection.

I love using google, it's great, but it is invading more and more of our privacy and is becoming like big brother.

Google is a new fad.
It will sink the day they miss their earnings!
