Google can sweep in with a truly user-centric social model, monetize it to a limited extent using adsense, but from their perspective leave their core cash dow - PPC search - intact. Note how Google's ad standards have relaxed quite a bit over the years, but they've been "user friendly enough" to avoid the sharp criticisms that should have been levied at Google when they slapped ads on the left side of the home page, conveniently blurring the distinction between organic and paid listings, then stopped prominently shading the advertising, allowed bogus sites to run adsense, didn't crack down early enough on the spiral of massive click fraud, etc.

survey your customers or user base or whatever to see what they think
of something before you roll it out and have to just as quickly roll
it back in, that's all.
