Indeed Who Own the Planet: Google or Not?

Today the Internet technology and its structural make-up are receiving a lot of boost in terms of softwares, automation, World Wide Web etc. Have you for once taken a holistic view of what Google provides in relation to content provider, search engine optimization and diversification? It is in bid to fill this technological know-how that led Randall Stross to come up with a book entitled “Planet Google How One Company is Transforming our Lives”. By the same token this led the author of this article to ask now; indeed who own the planet: Google or not?
The above topic cannot be conceptualized without first exposing what Google engender in terms of World Wide Web content provider. It started to rise from a small upstart in the hostel of two post-graduate students of Computer Science at the Stanford University; Sergey Brin and Larry Page in the year 1998. The idea of two post-graduate students of the University of Stanford have transcended into a gigantic Internet search services provider. These two intellectual scenius go with the principle of chain reaction in the world of chemistry. Why? This hinges from the fact that any input in the company brings about a substantial increase in profit, not only that; it also equates innovation with its idea of going global.
Furthermore, the above assertion rings true when in the year 1999 this great company in question received a total sum of $25m from two venture capitalists in the form of equity. It began to enlarge its goal. The reader might be obliged to ask what goal the company is enlarging. It dares to organize all of the world’s information into its search engine, especially through the portals of its world wide web. This very company does not stop its expansion there, they began in roughly about a year ago come up with Google Chrome. This is a browser owned by this service provider to help its client or end-users browse the Internet with their local content browser. To draw this issue to its elastic limit, the planet owner, Google also incorporate a blogger.com into myriads of other services to enable its clients utilize the web to its optimum.
Please at this juncture, the researcher would not forgive me if I do not present this company that dares to thread where angels fled as a hub for the global advertising of all manner of services, goods and educational research center for the intellectuals. It did not leave it alone to its company to provide the platform and utilize the platform as well. Hence, it sells it off to users and clients that tend to earn money through the Internet. The company under discourse serves and provides an enabling environment for buyers and sellers of goods and services to meet and transact business. To drive home my points, the innovations did not stop there; they created affiliates between the buyers and sellers. The affiliate is an intermediary or an agent that advertizes on behalf of the seller.
Here, the transformer and reformer of lives in the area of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) uses its founder’s idealistic ambition to create whatever thing they want to provide to its numerous users. It had and it will always have a divergent view of everything it invents and implements. How? It is until this month and this year that the organizer of information and transformer of idea of this technological know-how came up with another mind boggling proposition. They tend to create an enabling environment for the provision of expert advice to users online ranging from technical support, news, business information etc to its teeming customers. The software or the platform is termed the ‘Baraza’ of Google which will be implemented in several African countries including Nigeria.
After its incorporation in its portal in Nigeria for instance, users in Nigeria or coming into Nigeria can have access to key questions like: Where is Zuma Rock located in Nigeria? Who is the Governor of Lagos State? Users can ask these questions by keying it in and as well get the answers from the expert online all this happening in real time. In a nutshell, the reader without blinking of eye indeed who own the planet: Google or not? I am not trying to present only and only Google to you but on the contrary what other service providers can do more than the firm in terms of its search engines, advertisement platform and coming up with something better than Baraza. Let leave this question on the sand of time or for the next generation to ponder on. What is your comment on this issue?
