It seems to me that Google is solely concerned by strengthening its internet presence by competing against anyone who is established in an internet business.
The company has released yesterday its Gmail Google Buzz integration to compete against social networking websites like Facebook.
It also intends to get into the ISP business. The company has announced today the trial of its own ultra high-speed network.

Even though Google seems too big to fail at the moment, I wonder if having Microsoft, Yahoo!, Facebook, Apple and the ISPs against you wouldn't be a bit too much.
After all, Google's main revenue source is still from search-based ads and the only real asset that makes it work is its strong user base. An alliance between Facebook, Yahoo! and Microsoft could probably make Facebook the new popular search engine and overthrow Google.
Only time will tell...
