Search will be biggest monopoly
Google’s search business will become the most profitable monopoly in history, it has been claimed.
Seasoned blogger, Henry Blodget, writing on the respected Search Valley Insider blog, has predicted Google’s revenue from search alone will surpass even the profits of Microsoft’s Windows software.
"Google’s search business should be bigger than Microsoft’s Windows business by early next year," he claimed.
In his estimation, the search company’s share of its market will grow to exceed 90 per cent and match that of Bill Gates’ software firm.
He later observed that Microsoft Office, which he also concluded was a monopoly, would need to watch out for Google’s competing software encroaching on its market share.
A number of free web-based tools are available that offer word processing facilities, including AjaxWrite, Zoho and Google Docs.
There are also alternatives to Google, such as Ask.com, which allow users to easily erase their web histories.
