OPINION: Google TV: Why It Will Fail

--By Ellen Dudar

Ellen Dudar, co-founder and chief product officer of FourthWall Media (the interactive TV technology company formerly known as BIAP), has authored a short white paper that provides some skeptical analysis of Google's recently launched Google TV platform and its projected consumer adoption (note: for more on Google TV, see the article published on itvt.com, May 24th).

I think Google will provide terrific search capability for the insane amount of video out there, when integrated into the current service providers.  Not much more.  Not much less.

Another good op/ed piece on Google TV:

Google TV is here, or is it just WebTV 2.0?

So, Google is trying to get its finger in yet another pie. This is likely to be another failure, like Google Radio and their mobile phone stores.

Google led the way with web search and has been dining out on that ever since, using the profits to buy and repackaging other companies and products like YouTube, Docs, etc. But Google did search a long time ago, their offering hasn't changed much since then, and the web has moved on -- which is why Facebook has now overtaken Google as the most used website in the USA.
