Another Kill Google Assertion
March 19, 2009
I don’t know about you, but a company with an 85 or 90 percent market share in Web search with a corresponding $18 or $20 billion in advertising revenue is not going to be easy to kill. Nevertheless, you may find Henry Blodget’s “Facebook Could Kill Google” here an interesting addition to the “kill Google” literature. The idea is that Facebook is growing rapidly and Google doesn’t have much of a response. Maybe Google’s arthritic? Maybe Google figures that Facebook like Twitter is an aberration? Who knows? The most interesting segment of the write up is a very nifty chart that shows Google sucking the exhaust fumes of the Facebook hot rod. If you want lots of data to shore up your argument that Facebook will kill Google, download and save this article.
