No one else in the industry has been able to compete with Google, so it may be that Google’s biggest disruptors will come from within.  Google will likely have to increase cash salaries and outright stock grants to retain its best people. This will likely further pressure the company’s profit margin which has declined over the past year.  Here’s a glimpse of ex-Googler’s starting up their own companies:

• Gokul Rajaram, the “Godfather of AdSense,” is working on a stealth startup.
• Louis Monier, Anna Patterson, Russell Power are working on a search service called Cuill (pronounced “cool”) — it’s said to index the web more economically than Google. Uses a web crawler called “twiceler.”
• Jason Liebman, Sanjay Raman and Daniel Blackman co-founded HowCast, a network of “how to” videos. The pair company has apparently raised $8 million in funding.
• Steffen Mueller started a “search engine community” called Topicle.
• Vanessa Fox left Google for real estate search site Zillow.
• Dan Daugherty is heading RentBits, a real estate rental site. He’s got support from fellow ex-Googler Tim Moynihan, who is COO of the site.
