If we had to choose 1 company to rule and enslave humanity, it would be Google.

I thought this thread was going to be about Google's complete and utter dominance as the Internet's greatest corporate kingpin.

Anyone else?

Without seeing it in action, this sounds like a brilliant idea for a massively multi-player online game. You’ll apparently be able to buy an property in the world. Of course, the social element that links together will be key, and it’s not yet clear what that will be. The Monopoly City Streets blog uses Google Friend Connect, but perhaps the game will have its own social web.

Not surprisingly, what was touted as the "biggest land grab of 2009" has turned into another online fiasco of overloaded servers.

"We ANTICIPATED an opening rush when we launched the Monopoly City Streets online game, but the first few hours have surpassed even our greatest EXPECTATIONS,"
Oh well.
