An In Depth Look at Google`s Potential Buyout of GoDaddy - Conclusion
(Page 4 of 4 )
One reason I like conclusions is because they allow me to digress a little bit. But sticking to the topic of a highly conceivable Google buyout of GoDaddy, I think it's pretty clear that the reasons are piling up in favor of Google's purchase. And with Google's track record of nearly 50 prior acquisitions, more reasons hardly seem necessary.
So what's in it for GoDaddy (aside from truckloads of money)? Well, I already mentioned the growing partnership between themselves and Google, so combining both companies would seem like the next logical step in terms of streamlining company efficiency. Google might also be able to help with what has become a growing call for them to redesign their sites, specifically to make their checkout process more coherent. But this is an entirely different transgression. I assume, if this deal is in the works, there are great plans being drawn up that we don't even know about.
I mentioned earlier that I would return to the subject of monopolies. We all have separate opinions on how big business should be regulated. Mine happens to be: the more the better. Some will call this undemocratic. How can you have a free market with regulators hovering over your shoulder all the time?
Personally, I think capitalism has very little to do with democracy. Democracy is about equality, whereas capitalism inherently promotes profit at all costs. With a company like Google getting stronger and stronger, what happens to the little guy? This can be a concern, but the good thing about the Internet is that it is constantly growing, constantly creating new ways for innovative people to make a living. Hopefully Google won't scoop this up as well.
