You said Google was a 1 trick pony.

How come Google was the first to do this?
Where was Microsoft?????

Google’s maps is the maps of choice people use around the world.

Oh yeah they were trying to copy Google once again with a search engine called “Bing”... Gee how original.... (sarcasm off)

Obviously the creators of “Bing”, a copy of the Google search engine, were watching “The Sopranos”.

It’s pathetic that Microsoft could not even come up with an original name.

Google is a search engine, with advertising as a spinoff from it.

That is all that Google is.

It’s a one-trick pony.

Furthermore, before Google, there were other search engines, like Excite and Hotbot and Lycos. Thus, there is nothing really innovative about Google’s search engine. That they became the biggest, is not a sign of innovation. And, heck, Bing IS a superior search engine, even though it’s not as big in usage. Bing returns better search results, which is not the same as more search results. Bing is the engine behind Cortana and Apple’s Siri, both of which return better answers to questions posed by their respective users.

Remember that, Microsoft is also he biggest software company in the world, but, they weren’t the first, and they didn’t invent applications or OSes, but yet, they are the biggest. Same with Google: being the biggest does not mean that they are the best, or the innovators of the “technology”.
