The problem with Google isn't revenue or growth. Google is a victim of our own expectations.
People are freaking out because Google's growth rate has slowed. That's true, but let's be realistic – their growth rate is currently at 17%, which is still crazy.
When you've reach ubiquity, growth WILL slow. That's just math. The same thing has happened to Facebook. And now that Facebook is starting to implement some of the services that Google offers, they will likely take a piece of Google's revenue. But Google's model is changing and not everyone is necessarily on board. At this point, this is an expectation problem on our end, not a company problem with Google.
