Don't Think You're Googling?... Think Again

      Though many internet consumers may not notice it, they are Googling... constantly. Many of the web's applets and services provided are run by this company. One, for example is AOL. Though AOL seems outdated to some and has lost users because of competition (ex. Yahoo). However, Google still generates enough revenue to the point where this is not a problem.

     Almost everywhere you turn, Google is there.

     Turn on your computer and open Chrome (owned by Google).
     Want to check your MySpace or YoutTube account? Google owns those too...
     Say you need directions to get somewhere... Google Earth is there to show you a precise picture of your location and directions by foot, bike, or bus (complete with mapped stops).
     You can even track Santa Clause when it gets close to Christmas using Goggle's NORAD Santa Tracker.

    Google has proved hard to escape. The multitude of services that the company has both bought and created has clearly impressed the world because the population continues to use it! With previous performance in regard, if other services were as convenient as Google has made itself, would you use them instead? Why or why not?

  1. You should definitely check out the books Built to Last and Good to Great by Jim Collins...they have concrete, research supported and easy to understand ideas on what makes businesses successful.

    Both books were considered among the most important books read by businesses in the last decade or so.
