I am totally pro Google doing this. They have every right too :) Google has proven time and again that its not just about the right product, but about its right placement. And I am excited to see google entering social media! Good times ahead :) I think I conveyed my mood about the situation wrongly in the post. I am totally pro Google doing this.

If What's Popular does take off Google can then consider an independent service offering of the same. Google describes its service as a gadget that, “uses algorithms to find interesting content from a combination of your submissions and trends in aggregated user activity across a variety of Google services, like YouTube and Google Reader." Personally, what Google does best is improving upon its existing products, but we now see a trend towards following Microsoft’s Live with social network aggregation. Finally, Digg didn't invent link submission and voting. They just packaged it right. So Google using this ploy to get into real-time web shouldn't really invite the ire of the internet community should it?
