GWEI: Google Will Eat Itself

Google Will Eat Itself – GWEI is a subversive web project, which aims to buy Google with funds generated via Adsense – Google’s own advertising program.

GWEI.com is designed to look like a serious website about web marketing and business but like so many other websites, the real objective is to hijack hits from people searching for information and subsequently lure them into clicking the ads.

Each time someone clicks one of the Google text-ads, GWEI receives a micropayment, which will be invested in Google shares. In other words: Google will slowly be bought via its own advertisement-system!

The project is a critique of Google’s growing monopoly of information. The long term plan is to take over Google and turn the ownership over to a GTTP-community – Google To The People!

Funny and ridiculously crazy idea. They currently own 39 Google shares. :D

I think the best way to achieve their objective, ” Google To The People!”, is to build a new search engine that is better than Google, and “for the people”, rather than to buy Google itself.

Hmmm, I think is a big crap, till they will have all the money to buy the company…the price of the Google Share will climb to the sky or Google will close
And anyway, after they will buy Google what will happend, someone else will buy from them
