I am not surorised that Google continues to get better at enterprise search. Feedburner was also a significant acquisition, although perhaps more for the web. I have been a long time feedburner user from the time it was very simple and watched it get more robust. I like your post on Integrating Google Enterprise Search with Social Bookmarking. I have also written a bit about the enterprise YouTube concept you mention in your post Why Google Could Dominate Enterprise 2.0. I think this could really corproate communication.

I've personally worked on several Google Enterprise Search implementations and have found them to be, while far from perfect, at returning search results from unstructured and structured enterprise content repositories. Google Enterprise Search provides the ability to execute SQL statements at crawl time (structured data) and serve results from relational databases along with unstructured results when a user performs a search. It also can integrate to line of business applications using the REST protocol, and many LOBA's have Google Enterprise Search adapters out of the box (like Cognos 8i for business intelligence). Google is also uniquely positioned to dominate the E2.0 space with acquisitions like JotSpot (wiki), Blogger, Google Base (social bookmarking) etc., making their enterprise offering as much about collaboration as it is search. I wrote a bit about this over at my blog (shameless plug) at http://www.socialglass.com/archives/82. Hi Bill,
