The 11th birthday of Google is just around the corner, and it is interesting to note how much things have changed in this past year. Wolfram Alpha and Bing are putting their hands up, and twitter is leading the way in real time search. It is going to be an interesting 12th year in the business for Google….

It really is hard to believe just how much Google have penetrated our lives! I don’t really remember life without the internet or Google – I was young, but I do remember everything just suddenly bursting into our lives and hitting us with immense force

We may as just well erase the word Internet from the dictionary and replace it with Google – that’s how powerful these guys have become.

10 years? I feel like an old-timer! I remember discovering their search engine a few months after they launched, and emailing all my friends cos I’d found a SE that actually showed you what you were looking for. That quality, for me, seems to be the key to their success

Cheers, Jon

They grow faster than any other company in the history of global capitalism. With a market cap of like 150 billion I think no one would have thought of this ten years ago. They truly deserve my congratulations..

Oh thats an amazing news! Google dominates online search with more than 60 percent of the market and is so popular the company’s name has become a verb. Analysts believe Google has become so entrenched in culture it will be hard to unseat and I agree with them. Happy Birthday Google.

I think that one of the key elements in Google’s success (and why we can all feel that we’ve been in a coma) is that they have been working continuously for 10 years on giving people what they wanted (and thereby getting what they wanted). I can’t say that I’ve been doing the same thing and there I don’t have the result that they have.

Google are heavy handed in many respects, just as are eBay and a few others. However, what Google do well is they embrace new ideas and actually doing something with it.

They have a large part of the market in a range of areas because they dared to try something and did it well.

I personally both love and hate Google. But we can learn a lot from their openness to trying something fresh.

Google has in fact become a way of life for many. I run an internet business and find it is hard to ignore google when trying to draw traffic. i think the average computer user automatically reverts to google for their web searches which is what makes it so powerful. One thing I can say as far as ppc I have found I get more inexpensive targeted traffic using ppc search engines like 7 search. The amount of vistors is lower but they are better qualified so I get a better return on my investment.
