The rise and rise of Google

I could go on and on this all day and night and then into tomorrow and probably the day after to talk about the meteoric rise of Google. Frankly speaking, I haven't enjoyed a technology piece so much for so for many years. Google has been one interesting company to track. Coming-up with humongous amount of innovative and breakthrough technologies. This is one company which raises the bar and sets the expectation level racing.

Open source and Linux, looks a powerful combination to control destinies. Google may not be releasing an open-source operating system or a desktop suite, but the company is definitely promoting, supporting and using open-source software. Just can’t believe how they comfortably beat market expectations quarter-on-quarter. Certainly does reflect in its stock prices scaling to almost $460 from the time they floated it at $85 two years ago. These guys are certainly in for a kill.

Google to its credit has also been able to effectively manage its expansion beyond the search empire to create amazing ventures in the likes of Google Maps, Google Earth, Google News and its price comparison service Froogle. No to mention the recent buy-out of video sharing website YouTube. Interesting, Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer in his recent India visit went on record saying “it is actually something that people copied up from TV. YouTube is a copyright law problem waiting to happen.”

Looks like we got to wait and watch for what google and its future hold and have in store the entire community. As far as I can reckon, by far the biggest issue Google may have on hand is its rate of diversification and co-founder Sergey Brin admits that the firm needed to integrate its operations more effectively. "If we continue to develop so many individual products in separate silos, you'll have to search for the product you want before you can use it," he said. "You'll end up doing a search before you can search." Further, he has introduced a program called "features not products" to improve horizontal links between Google's offerings.
