    I just wanted to say if google contiue his progress within almost 3 or 4 years will get Microsoft in market . IMHO that is all because google keep a super rich database of anything related to end costumers .... just take a look at google.com/trends ... this way you can find people trends in each region and introduce the exact market to the exact product or service . wacho think?

      If you go by Google trends, which are highly inaccurate for many things, products will be introduced at the wrong place:)

        If you wait for it to show up in Google Trends, you will be late to market... Innovation anticipates or creates trends, rather than following them.

          Google trends is worthless - it's just tracking hits of words in news media, without any sort of relevence grading.

              When I typed in "Debt" all results in the first page were from cities in USA, I typed in "Bank Balance" and all results were either from India or UK, I typed in "Finance" and still most of the cities were from India/UK plus a couple from USA ... I guess it could just mean choice of words but still "Finance" bridged the gap real close.

                What trends are you talking about? The ones where Google's infrastructure costs are increasing faster than revenue? (And really do more resemble a utility company than a tech company.) Or is the that 79% of Google traffic is for searches; only a tiny fraction of that is using all their other vaunted services. Or is it that 85% of their revenue comes from click through ads? (The moment companies realize they aren't getting the conversion rate they thought through click through ads, the ad rate will plummet and Google will go bankrupt. You read it here first.) The reality is that Google is a one trick pony; better-than-average search. Their big breakthroughs were the Google Bar (which was copied by competitors faster than almost any technology I know of) and their click-through ad model. Before you think this is just an insult, most successful companies are one trick ponies--they found one thing they are good at and ran with it. One of the most assured ways to fail is to believe you because you are so good at one thing, you will be just as successful at another. The fact simply is that when looking at the plain numbers, Google has failed at everything but Internet Search.

                    uh no, what about office or sql server? Don't be ridiculous. Comparing MS to Google is a joke. As stated, Google is great at search and not a whole lot else. I believe their bubble is due to burst in the reasonably near future.

                      Yes and no. Microsoft's most important software is arguably Office.
