Google is one company that is quite close to doing what Microsoft has done to PCs the world over—dominate the internet space. There are a few companies which have grown at such rate. Offering most of its products and services free of cost, Google still makes billions.
It should not surprise if Google in the coming few years completely eliminates the need for anything else than Google—at least to a majority of the netizens who want the basic services.Already having quite a lot of services and products and still adding to the list, Google looks hungry even now.
So what all things does Google have on offer?
- Search
- Blogs
- Videos
- Social Networking
- Digital Photo Management
- Document Creators
- Telecom, Wireless
- Internet
It is also interesting to note its acquisition spree that has seen it acquire more than 47 companies and still counting in a period of six years starting from 2001. The company looks right on target to become a dominating force on the internet. It is making the right moves at the right time with the right business strategy to make most of what it is spending.
It can also be observed that Google still wants to generate a major chunk of its revenue from advertising. This might or might not be the major revenue stream in the coming years.
While it keeps giving nightmares to established companies in various sectors including, Software, Telecom and Media etc., Google still allows millions of people use its simple but powerful products and services for free.
Happy Googling!
