Google

I don't know what's with this company. They seem to have never ending ideas and more importantly lots of energy right now. Looks like they were very thoughtful and determined on executing a neat plan. I hope they keep up the momentum. So the people who joined Google few years ago must be really lucky. They have good chances of going up in the career ladder as well as making tons of money. The stock just hit $400! Isn't that amazing? In a world where every other stock is trading around $30-$40, there is Google which trades at $400 and above! Quite an amazing accomplishment. Now there'll be people who analyze Google and tell others how to run a company and be successful. Who cares now? I'm sure it just worked out very well for Google and they didn't plan on releasing Google Base or Google Talk when they started it. Rather they seem to have been open about it. They made the search really popular, got the people hooked onto it and now introducing various other products people might find interesting. Those who can vouch for the searching power of Google, will of course trust all the other ones, though Yahoo may hold a big dominance in the email and chat space. Regardless Google's market cap is now some $119 billion or so, more than twice that of Yahoo!

So, basically anything can sweep the world if properly marketed? Am I right? It has to be something that people subconsciously look for, though. Simple thing like searching the billions of websites!
