Google - its toooo goodI was doing this on-demand analyst report on Google today and the company never really ceases to amaze me !! The founders are under 40, they own around 20% of a $1.5 billion company and what more...they are competing with Microsoft and the likes. Its amazing !!
Innovation =GOOGLE and probably its the biggest buzzword going around right now. For instance this blog, its an absolute manifestation of the prowess of the company in web-search and web based services. I liked the way the company has grown. I mean if your net income grows by 700% in a period of 2 years, its not a mean feat to achieve that. While doing the analysis, I did came across pitfalls and shortcomings but they are nothing that cannot be overcome by Google as it grows. It anyways is a very young company right now and is competing with market incumbents like Microsoft.
The simple and biggest threat is Microsoft, coz of its sheer size. The company devours a market it takes head-on and it size, revenues, market capitalization along with the monopoly in desktop PCs are factors that might even surpass and overcome GOOGLE's innovative genius.
I know this is boring for some of you...but the company has really excited me in these last two days and I just thought about telling thist o everyone in my blog...hope nobody minds !!!
