"Credibility of your article nullified" - ad-hominem is irrelevant here.
To my mind, the article's main argument is that Google in the search market today is in the same position Microsoft was in the OS market in the 1990s (near monopoly of a critical technology). This by itself is not sufficient grounds for regulation, but if Google starts to leverage this monopoly to choke competition in related areas (as Microsoft did), then we have a problem. The article lists a couple of examples where Google might be doing this (mapping, real estate).
I don't think the evidence is sufficient to start talking about regulation, but the parallels to Microsoft aren't obviously false.
