GOOGLE-Derik

I am like Dan Firger in the fact that I use Google, but my life doesn't revolve around it. Using items like Google calendar seem a little far fetched for me, isn't that the reason schools have free planners? Nobody has a life that is so exotic with ten different things going on all the time-if you can't remember what you have to do each day it's time to slow things down and narrow your focus. Google is helpful, but literally is everywhere. At the rate they are expanding one day they will know my thoughts before I do. I never realized how powerful Google was until Daniel Tosh did a joke involving Google and from that time they've become even bigger.

I don't know much about Google's advertising except the fact it obviously works. In the article it states their advertising is 99% of their revenue and they are worth $160 billion so yikes. Overall they've been successful with every market they've jumped into. Not only are they involved with e-mail, social networking, and obviously searches, but they've maneuvered their way into our phones. Where will the madness end? If it gets any bigger it will knock yahoo out of any contention and all other similar networks. Google is aptocratic in the way they present all their material because they've managed to spend the money finding the best and brightest resources while providing the best service while maintaining classy and fully functional.

I wish I knew what happened to yahoo. I still use the site more than google, but it never seems to change visually. I remember every special occasion Google has a little image above the search engine just highlighting the event. Something simple like that is all that needs to be done, I think Yahoo needs to clean house and get some new people with fresh ideas in their advertising agency. When reading about all the work and math put behind Google it's no wonder they have a say in everything. I wasn't aware until yesterday when the Google and You Tube ads were connected during a mash up that Google actually owned You Tube. It's hard to imagine how much more is out there still to be obtained.
