Google is run by three computer scientists, and Google is an innovator in technology in our space. We’re in the advertising business — 99% of our revenue is advertising-related. But that doesn’t make us a media company. We don’t do our own content. We get you to someone else’s content faster." In a way Google is right because most people consider Google as a tech company not a media firm. So, we can define Google as a tech company who is acting like a media company. “It’s better to think of Google as a technology company.

A magazine is basically a collection of articles with advertising thrown in, only the writers are supposedly on staff. However, look at the typical newspaper these days where a good majority of the articles, including the comics, are all from wire services. Not much different from Google, except they don't even pretend to have writers on staff. It's just an evolution of an already occuring phenomenon. Hmmm, I kind of see your point.

I don't see why it would have to be your own. Google is all about content ... finding the content it thinks you want and letting you see it. That puts them pretty close to being a media company these days. It seems to me that media is all about distributing content. I don’t see why it would have to be your own.
