Why Googles network is the most important asset

Everyone thinks that search is the most important asset google has but it isn’t heck they license their page rank algorithm from Stanford in an exclusive agreement only until 2011.  Well I think the Stanford endowment is about to get a bump.  Now as I started in my last post a free scale network has some very interesting mathematical properties.  These properties explain a lot of what google does.  For a free scale network to maintain it’s viability it has to be connected to other free scale networks and they strengthen each other.  example google and youtube.  Now the more connected the network the stronger it is.  This leads to a winner takes all possibility.  So why should google have books that have expired copyrights?  Hmmmm because it draws people (links) to the google network and more and more links to google.
