I foresee a merger of these three giants. If this happens, we hubbers will be greatly benefited by the process. We shall really feel we are in a solid business transaction and operation. What are your thoughts on this?
Thank you.
I don't think Maven is strong enough an entity for Google and/or Microsoft to consider a merger. You have some pretty grandiose ideas from what I've seen you post in the forums, Tanmoy.
Google and/or Microsoft are probably only dimly aware of Maven/HP's existence
Even if they were aware, they probably wouldn't give a hoot about them.
They'd be like "Hey, an article writing site? That's just.... great. You do you, fellas. Keep up the good work."
He's trolling us. There is absolutely no way Google and Microsoft would be allowed to merge. Anti-trust laws you see.
I suggest we never respond to this man's posts; they are full of mischievous intent.
He is Das-the-troll, Rekario, etc. All those pseudonyms. He's completely taken in some new hubbers.
However, this is the first time he's created a few articles and tried to be properly sociable.
I agree that anti~trust laws might get in the way of this merger. But, there would be companies like Apple, Amazon, Swisscows, Yandex, Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Linux Foundation, etc open to the game. They may merge in interesting algorithms once they see Google and Microsoft merge.
Elon Musk may also jump to action and open a computer company, if the merger takes place!
So, all in all, this (theoretical) merger welcomes growth and competition, and not vice versa.

I'm not here to Cry! I'm not here to have someone else "fix" my situation. But I have been doing this for over 10 years now on HP and presently I am sitting here, wondering about how much power Google has over my income.You see, I am something of an EXPERT on one particular subject and...

I've been watching a site, dateway.net to be specific, steal articles from HubPages authors consistently for the last month. HubPages leaves it to us to solve DMCA complaints, but do they ever interfere on EVERYONE'S behalf? I mean, we are all in support of the same community, our community, right?...

Anyone else here with articles on Owlcation seeing increased traffic over the past 5-6 hours? I have been seeing increased traffic on my Real Time Google Analytics and also the hubpages stats page. Nothing huge for my owlcation articles, but it's a huge increase. I see jumps in rankings, even on an...

Is it true that the 60/40 model only applies after HubPages pays their expenses? Because I have expenses too... I don't see why we should suffer because HubPages wants 40% to be pure profit AFTER their expenses.

I just watched a Maven video on crafting a good title. I was not impressed in the least!Not only did they contradict themselves, they also showed a failure to proofread, and there was a very obvious spellling error in one of the bullet points.First, they talked about creating "long...

There's been a lot of discussion in the forums about fact that the Maven channels are all subdomains of the main site. The conventional wisdom is that this creates a "generalist site" format that Google hates and will eventually severely penalize. After looking at some of the Maven...
