Do you believe Walla is a serious competitor for Google in light of the fact Walla Computers did not publish any item regarding Hebrew gmail and the fact Walla removed itself from Google News?
Google does not regard other content providers as competition but as partners, just as we cooperate with other websites, including AOL and even Ask Jeeves world-wide. Walla is free to decide which news to share with its surfers. As for Google News, this is a service that should enable Israeli surfers to reach content providers items with ease, and we will be happy if Walla decides to join all other Israeli content sites in receiving this service.
