> You know the cool thing about this integration ? Any part can be replaced.

How do you replace search ? How do you get competitive against mail, youtube without the amount of data google uses to sell ad on them ?

All I hear is a challenge. I'm not a big data engineer, but I would be interested in seeing others take it as a challenge to develop a unique, effective, and open platform that rivals the Google monopoly.

AT & T and Standard Oil were also "challenges" and they weren't toppled by "unique, effective, and open platforms" :)

Yandex is pretty good, they have search and a better mail than gmail, just try it out, you will be surprised. I was.

There was NO ads! You can actually read your email - and NO ads! That is amazing!

The problem is that Google is also very good in lots of areas. This makes the challenge even more difficult.

There are existing alternatives, today, that are profitable. What makes you think it's not possible to use something else ?
