It’s the little things that corrodes a company. Hence the "crack in the armour.
I like to think that most people surf the Internet with an ad blocker. Simple because the Internet is just riddled with ads and the experience is frustrating without one.

Google is a trillion dollar company. It’s not Digg. Google going down would be the single most sensational thing to have happened in the history of the Internet. Even Twitter is still kicking after everything they’ve done.
