Sure I do. And I really worry if I find out that someone has done stuff well and completely when I've barely started.

But other than that, competition often just validates a market. God knows Google didn't care that Infoseek, Excite, and Altavista already existed. Obviously they were doing it wrong.

I think Google probably cared about Altavista.

I guess we have to define "care". I'm saying that Google didn't care enough about Altavista's technology to let it stop them from trying to out-do it.
