WHY GOOGLE IS SET TO BE THE NEXT SOFTWARE GIANT



Information Technology is a very dynamic technology….where innovations are made every minute. New opportunities crop up every day. ….. We are witnessing a paradigm shift in computing, I.T. , ITES & the media. In the future, most of our computing / I.T activities will be on the Net. The success of Google has been due to its ability to understand this trend. Google had the VISION to exploit the “gap” in online computing.
Right now, I see almost no one to challenge Google.

It had its humble beginnings in the Search Engine. But then it had captured more than 65% ( I believe, as of last count?) of the Search Engine Market.

Let’s take it pointwise…why I think Google is gonna be numero uno :

  1. The FOCUS on the Search Engine was a brilliant start ! After all, with the GROWTH OF THE WEB….everyone started getting lost…..Google Search brought us the RESULTS WE NEEDED …IN RECORD TIME !! Everybody got hooked onto Google…and why not ?? You want the best pizza bargain near you…where can I get it?....GO GOOGLE. I want to know which flight I’ve got to take without spending transit time in Amsterdam for that London to Cairo flight…GO GOOGLE. Laymen even turn for medical solutions to Google…..Cheapest bargains in the nearest mall ? …..Google is like “select *.* from *.*” …..You can get anything you want to…..
  2. Next was the expansion of the Search Engine….which its competitors did not catch up in time….Google Images, Video, News, Google Groups, University, Scholar Search, Book Search….you can get anything…….
  3. In the future, more complex SQL facilities/parameters should be added to refine searches….. we might be able to query information FROM MULTIPLE WEBSITES into a COMPOSITE RESULT…….this could be Google’s Vision…
  4. Then, there were further on value-additions…… useful applications like Docs & Spreadsheets which can be incorporated….who knows, these could be the default stuff to use sometime in the future.
  5. GMail is a big hit….because it INCORPORATES other Google stuff with it……it’s a great story of convergence.
  6. Google is becoming the MEDIA….starting with Google Book & Google Video (check this out, BTW)….it acquired You Tube…..this is another major strategical shift….MEDIA IS CONVERGING…..The TV, DVD, Movieplexes & the PC….do we REALLY NEED SO MANY ALTERNATIVES ?? We all need convergence…..& Google’s jumped major time into it.
  7. And since you’re reading this blog…..well, you DO KNOW GOOGLE IS THE MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO THIS BLOG REVOLUTION…..you ain’t seen nothing yet…..folks…more to come..........We are hoping for acceleration of the process of ONLINE PUBLISHING……Google's Blogger will rule because of its ease-of-use blogging tools, compared to other sites.
  8. And of course, there’s the revenue….forgot to tell the best , huh ? Well, this sharing of revenue is motivating billions of users to share information for the betterment of society…we are moving towards TRUE DEMOCRACY OF THE NET, THANX TO GOOGLE….
  9. Then, take GOOGLE EARTH. IMHO, this is probably one of the greatest achievements on the Net. We have the entire globe at our disposal. I hope more & more LAYERS OF INFORMATION are added. After all, “a picture tells a thousand words”. With more R & D, this layman’s GIS will GROW…..
  10. We hope Google adds querying facilities to Google Earth. IT CAN, POTENTIALLY, BE THE GROWTH OF THE GREATEST SOFTWARE OF THIS CENTURY. THEORETICALLY, you can put ALL THE DATA OF THIS GLOBE INTO THIS SOFTWARE, a true VISUAL RDBMS OF THE ENTIRE GLOBE !!! It could also be glimpses of real-time, with updates.


So, fellow bloggers of the World, UNITE….here’s a toast to Google…..We Want Google
