Is Google the internet? Some say it is I think it is a few years back I remember my m8 saying Google it I was like "wtf" now its the main source of everyones internet use hardly anyone I know uses MS search, yahoo search and the like they Google It. Just to think that two geeks at college created Google man sometimes I wish I had a time machine lol. My point is is Google the best internet invention ever? I would like to hear some of your views on this matter.
This wasn't a one day or one man show. Research to improve the web have many brains, and many years. they make web experience better than ever, and than every one. so Google is the best invention. So in my opinion Google is the best source of any thing. It will also take care of users friendliness.
No.. it isn't the best invention... thus far.. it is the best brand marketing in search... recently they have put their fingers in a lot of pies though... desperate to gain branding supremacy there too.
It's not, Just a right product came out at right time. Rest is money. They have only search that you will say a great product, rest they acquired. It's not something they invented. For me, Yahoo! is simply great. Almost everyone learnt internet with Yahoo!.
I dont know about the best invention ever, but as far as their business model, it is up there as one of the best business models currently active today.
It doesn't seem to be radically different than AltaVista was at the time to me. Just better technology and marketing. Not that Google isn't a great company, but "invention" seems to give them too much credit. They took something that existed, and made it much better.
Why do these threads keep popping up? Go and build your startup and conquer the world. Who cares if 8 other people thinks Google is or isn't the best.
Well so far, it looks like it. They have been dominating the search engine business and competitors are way far behind. They have the right to claim that status.
google is great and once again I think it is about simply being the best at what you do, the question is then what is it that I do best, then i can create by own "google", dave
Google is a good invenetion right now, but give it another 10 years and they'll be a new kid on the block and everyone will be like 'Do you remember when google was number 1?'. Exactly the same thing as what happened to yahoo.
Google has done very well and I like using it but personally I don't think it can be called the best invention ever.
