Google's trial and error mobile strategy

 
Finally, an article that discusses Google and the future of its mobile strategy.
 
The article states: "Undoubtedly, Google would demur from describing its strategic planning process as 'trial and error'. "

Google not only has the large user base, assets and so on, but it has Google Number Search. 

Google put GNS on the shelf after realizing that droves of users weren't using it.  Although GNS has accumulated a lot of dust, it is actually ready to launch in a moment's notice.  Google just needs to update the GNS lexicon, which includes search terms that were around in the year 2001.  That'll take about a second or two to fix.  Although I think that GNS was an 'error' in Google Inc's 'trial and error' mobile strategy, it will be a big hit one day.

Guardian

Nothing much going on in the world of Jamptap. We still get a few visitors from our unaffiliate: Jumptap in the Boston area. What else is new? I now see more clearly why Google bought Guardian in numbers - 48273426.com - since they now have your credit card information - thanks to Google Checkout - on file in addition to everything else one could possible imagine. They certainly want to maintain your confidence in their security protocols. Buying a numbered domain for $4.99 may have done the trick. Don't you think?
