Interesting post – I had the same thought about Pornotube the other day. But such areas where the Goliaths will not tread are bound to be very few – as consolidation gets seriously underway – Either illegal, controversial, or commercially non-viable (too small a scale, or high costs, or zero entry barriers, and so on).

Pornotube has definitely hit a sweet spot – someone was wide awake the day they thought of this.
I saw an early instance of this (in Jan 2004) when I saw someone using a Search engine called Booble – a Google clone, specifically designed to search for adult content.

Besides, so many startups are now focused on the very goal of being acquired by Google, that it would seem contrarian to think of ways to avoid them.

An interesting exercise, for bloggers anyway, to think up other areas where the Google juggernaut will definitely stay out of.
