The best sustainable business models can be drawn on a napkin. Ebay merely brings buyers and sellers together. Google does the same but through a different medium and has blown the doors off of legacy advertising. This is the new medium, whether you choose to believe it or not. But the real power of GOOG isn't even the ad revenue or model, that is the means to an end. The real power is their brand and brand leverage into new vertical markets and new paradigms. It is where they go with their name and implementations next that will dictate whether they are Exodus Communications or Microsoft.
