Nextag CEO: Google Is A Monopoly; Google: Youve Got Plenty Of Choice

nextag_logoComparison shopping engine Nextag and its CEO Jeffrey Katz have been at the forefront of accusing Google of being a monopoly and abusing its position to crush smaller competitors. Today, the Wall Street Journal ran an opinion piece by Katz that accuses Google of not just promoting its own services and products on its search results pages, but also selling out its users because many of "the most prominent results are displayed because companies paid Google for that privilege." Google, in what's becoming an increasingly common tactic for the company, just published a detailed (and rather aggressive) response to Katz's accusations. In it, the company's senior vice president of engineering Amit Singhal argues that "there has never been as much choice online as there is today."
