So there is potential 'added value', which lures Webmasters into joining
Google Sitemaps.
What is next? Open a Google Mail account to take advantage of Analytics?
An integration between Urchin (Analytics) and Google Maps so as to see
where visitors come from exactly (their back yard...)? Simultaneous search
of GMail, the Web, and your desktop?
I foresee entanglements...
All information will soon be available in dozens of Linux datacentres,
which is a bit scary. Think of the amount of mail these datacentres have
accumulated over time. If AJAX office suites became a reality, then all
your bases will definitely belong to Google. Google Wallet, anyone?
I foresee exposure...
