Week 2 continued

I think Google is doing well for a number of reasons. They were one of the first search engines (today is their 13th birthday)so they have brand recognition that has been around for some time. Also, they proved to be superior to other services (yahoo, or ask jeeves, etc) so with brand recognition, people have come to expect quality. Lastly, they have managed to stay current in an ever changing world (wide web) by investing/ buying other compainies and expanding their services (gmail, Google maps, Google powered android apps, etc).
