Google’s Not A Portal (Yeah, Right…)
Posted on May 25th, 2006 by Simon Chen
Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt on CNBC tells us why Google isn’t really a portal.
The interview is in 2 parts. Part 1 & Part 2.
So, if the world’s number one technology company isn’t a portal then, what do you call it when you’re;
- the world’s number one search provider but
- you’re buying on average one company per week
- you’re getting into video
- providing free email
- into mapping
- pushing hard to put the world’s published works online
- developed an online shopping capability (froogle)
- powering the blog space (blogger.com)
- developing a mobile play with Google SMS
- developing easy web publishing capabilities with “page creator”
- have amassed and built the world’s largest PC network
- etc
I dont know about you, but this sounds like a portal to me.
