Google

1. Ahhhh! I am so much like Dan Firger and I hadn't even thought about it. When I open any browser I almost immediately go to google. I have tons of email address but they all work through my gmail account. I can't live three hours without my google calender going off on my blackberry. I even have my eportfolio through my gmail sites, and I am creating a page for my step father for his business. This is ridiculous how much of google is incorporated in my every day life!
2.Google does a great job of adding on to their company. They used to only be a search engine, now they have their hands in so much more, including youtube. They are not willing at just stopping with what they have, google continues to grow and take on new ideas. Google is apocratic by excelling, then conforming to find the "ladder of success". Google continues to shape itself and it's staff to become the best it can be.
3. From the article it seems like Yahoo wants to be a competitor of Google but personally I don't think they have what it takes. I work at Victoria's Secret and after you make a purchase we have to ask for your email to send you coupons. Just this week I had someone with a Yahoo email address and I almost forgot Yahoo had email, we never have customers with yahoo addresses.
