Google
The Industry Leader
Do you want to get accurate, detailed information and fast just by using your fingertips? Use Google as your preferred search engine. You can set Google as your home page, or as a small toolbar on your desktop. You can even google while you’re away using a mobile device. It’s great for searching just about anything, images, patents, blogs, products, finance information, and much more. You can also use Google maps to locate the street-view of almost any location in the United States. The posibilities are endless, with Google you can do almost anything.
Richard Vanderhurst tells us that Google is fast, accurate and loaded with an immense amount of information. It indexes billions of web pages and takes only seconds to display them. Say hello to the fastest-growing search engine in the world.
A decade ago this multi-billion dollar company was just an idea of two twenty-something year-old students of the Standford University. After developing their idea from a garage, who could have guessed that within a decade their search engine corporation will become the top dog of all search engines, known world wide? People today are already talking about search engine monopoly and this is just the beginning. Google is just getting started.
Just within the past year Google took the wind from the Apple‘s anticipated celebrity moment of their brand new iPhone by launching the Android G1 mobile Smart-phone. This was very a well marketed and calculated movement for Google and the timing was perfect. Even more, the Android is an open source platform for a mobile phone to which anyone can create virtually any application they desire. This means that the code is not restricted, hidden or kept secret in any shape or form. Anyone who understands code can download it and build on top of it. This is briliant!
Richard Vanderhurst shows us what’s next for Google. The buzz for 2009 is that Google is planning to expand the Android platform on to notebooks, which could greately cut into market share of Microsoft. Of course, at the moment this is just the buzz in town, so we will have to simply wait and see. And after that, Google desktops, perhaps? The posiblities are endless. Since Google’s engineers are a group of brilliant geeks who come up with ground-breaking ideas every day, I am sure what ever it might be, it will be exciting.
Each day is a new day for another brilliant Google idea.
It also seems that Google is not nearly as effected by the economic slowdown as are many other companies. People and corporations are filling bankruptcies like never before, but Google continues to grow. Their employes have even received bonuses last year in form of G1 mobile phones. Mind you, one such phone retails for about $400.
This confirms that Google is here to stay for a long time. As such, it is growing in popularity all over the world. Many people use Google‘s search engine instead of other Encyclopedias to research all kind of information. The whole world is waiting to be discovered. So, use Google and expand your horizons beyond the wildest dreams of your imagination.
