Google's New Toolbar Causes Concern

Google has released a trial tool which is concerning some Internet users because it directs people to pre-selected commercial websites. A fellow PR blogger, Micropersuasion's Steve Rubel got a nice quote on news.com and the San Francisco Chronicle:
"Let's face it, Google is to the Web what Microsoft is to PCs -- the operating system everyone uses to search. It has nearly the same lock on consumers' share of mind. ... And millions use the Google Toolbar. They shouldn't get away with what Microsoft was unable to."
