Both are important in my opinion, but one is much easier to get excited about than the other.

97% of Google's profit is from advertising. They aren't a tech company, I'd argue, they are a high-technology advertising company, with lots of proprietary technology back-ending that business.
There is very little, in my opinion, that Google does that is transformative or disruptive in the tech marketplace or that moves things forward, at least in recent years.
