Google Plus Plans to Dominate the Internet
December 24, 2011
The latest buzz surrounding Google has been rather polarizing. Some think that the search giant is becoming out of touch with its customer base, while others believe that it is only a few steps away from taking over the world. The article that I will highlight today believes the latter.
ComputerWorld’s Mike Elgan recently wrote an informative piece called “Why Google+ Will Become Google’s Only Product.” Elgan’s article details, what he believes is, Google’s strategy to marginalize it’s competition by creating a single super product known as Google+.
After citing every action that Google has taken since the release of Google+ this past June to integrate features that were previously separate products, Elgan explains why Google will eventually beat out all of it’s competitors — even Facebook. Elgan states:
Google+ by itself looks like no match for Facebook. But the integrated combination of every Google tool is far better and far more compelling than just Facebook — and collectively those tools already have far more users. And that’s where Google is headed. As Google integrates every major product increasingly into Google+, those products become features, and Google+ becomes the Google product.
This is definitely an interesting theory, and I will be watching closely to see who wins the final battle between these two Internet titans.
