In fact such blurring is there that on the face of it we found us more integrated with Google than DoubleClick.com which is a Google company. For all our needs we first check if there is any Google service available. This blurring lead us to an interesting question : What is a web site? At first the question seemed childish as we have been on the web since many years. In fact even raising the question seemed laughable. When we tried to answer the question seemed a heavy one to answer crisply. There was no direct answer which can accommodate the reality that there was a blurring between two web domains.
