...at least when it comes to discussion on the web.

Google announced its OpenSocial social networking API project just 5 days ago—and now the company's own search engine reports over 7,700,000 hits for "OpenSocial". And it's still alpha code!

A day earlier, Microsoft announced Project Oslo. And despite the announcement being what Gavin Clarke refers to as an experience of buzzword bingo, "Microsoft Oslo" garners just 1,400,000 hits or so.

OK so it's not exactly scientific. But to me at least it shows just how far Google-fixation has become the psychosis du jour of the technology industry.
