Google is a highly successful Internet business. Recently they have broaden their scope
with a multitude of new tools. Research Google business model and answer the ff.
questions below. You may add additional information not included in this question.
1. Who are they're competitors?
-There competitors are facebook.com, yahoo.com, friendster.com, youtube.com,amazon.com,rapidshare.com and etc. These websites also introduce many things such as the google.com. These websites are now dynamic and highly professional everyone can access from it the requirements is only pc and internet.
According to http://www.physorg.com/news187517187.html
A year ago, Google named just two competitors -- Microsoft and Yahoo -- in its annual report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This year, Google lists 10 competitors by name in its recently filed 10-K report for 2009, including social sites Facebook, Twitter, and Yelp; and specialty search engines that dive deep into a specific category, such as travel site Kayak and health inquiry site WebMD. With the explosive growth of social networks acting as the door to people's online world, Google does face increased competition. But with the Mountain View, Calif.-based search giant facing a surge of antitrust and anticompetition lawsuits and allegations in the U.S. and Europe, observers and critics say the change shows Google's pressing need to make the case to regulators that it has viable competitors, and has not become too dominant an Internet force.
2. How have they used information technology to their advantage?
-Every now and then a technology, or set of technologies, comes along that offers a rich set of components that can be combined and recombined to create new products. The arrival of these components then sets off a technology boom as innovators work through the possibilities. For that google is using wisely the IT experts to make advantages to their competitors. And these steps will lead them to top. Also according to http://archives.obs-us.com/obs/english/books/nn/bd1101bn.htm The Internet for us was like air. It was there all the time - you wouldn't notice it existed unless it was missing. But the Internet as a major social phenomenon didn't enter our radar until the advent of the World Wide Web, which was developed in Europe at CERN, beginning in 1989, by a team of physicists that included an alumnus of the Media Lab. That was what provoked the big change in the Internet.
3. HOW COMPETITIVE ARE THEY IN THE MARKET
-For me Google is the most common search engine in the web. Maybe Google is the most highest competitor in every search engines and commercial sites. Google is the most dynamic site we used to search and copy some information around the world. According to http://www.googlebusiness.com/
in advertising 99% of Google's revenue is derived from its advertising programs. For the 2006 fiscal year, the company reported US$10.492 billion in total advertising revenues and only US$112 million in licensing and other revenues.
In Software oogle is the most used search engine on the web with a 53.6% market share, ahead of Yahoo! (19.9%) and Live Search (12.9%). Google indexes billions of Web pages, so that users can search for the information they desire, through the use of keywords and operators, although at any given time it will only return a maximum of 1,000 results for any specific search query.
4. What new services do they offer?-According to http://www.webopedia.com/quick_ref/Google_Services.aspBook Search: Search the full text of books

5. What makes them so unique?-They are unique because they are the biggest and fastest search engine in the web.Google is the most highly recommended site for searching. Also they are not as search engine but also inbooks,movies also this blogger is made by google. They also offer travel inforamtion, news everydaycurrency converter and weather check up.6. How competitive are they in the international market?-Maybe google is the most top competitors in the international market. They have services onlineand it is accessible in anytime,anywhere and anyone. Google is the most effective and gives correctinformation engine. They have any products and any services at short time they searches topicsless than 1second but it depends in a service provider. According to http://www.glgroup.com/News/Google-International--Greater-Market-Share-Now-Distancing-from-the-Pack-to-Come-18168.htmlHaving studied Google abroad somewhat significantly, I believe this article provides a very naïve view on Google’s success abroad. Absolutely, Google, as any American company, needs to be extremely aware of the impression they make when entering foreign grounds, as the risk as being seen as arrogant – the ugly American – is omnipresent. And, yes, Google should continue to grow their in-country teams significantly in order to best overcome cultural and sales hurdles and take advantage of unique opportunities and the gigantic world market that is growing at a quicker pace than the U.S. market. Recent stats point to European e-commerce in a position to surge past U.S. e-commerce.
Yet, don’t attempt to fool anyone here: Google has enormous international market share. Though I’m on a plane and not able to access these stats immediately, I believe that Google has approximately a 10-point higher share of search in Europe than they do in the States. I attended an online and multi-channel retail conference in London earlier this year, and Google was constantly mentioned, and never in a bad light. I am attempting to arrange a dinner in Paris Google is dominant in most countries, with their distant following to Baidu in China and the Russian example in the article notable exceptions. later this year or early next with top French e-commerce companies, and Google is the likely sponsor, due to their relationship with the French agency that I am in contact with and their relationship with the likely invitees.

Case #2 EFFECTS OF COMPUTER
Computers are a very useful object due to which technology is very advanced now but has anyone thought of the bad side of it?
Now day’s computers are in every house and children are perpetually on it .There eyes are getting affected but there is an lcd screen but it only stops 60% of the strain caused but the rest 40% is harmful children nowadays play many games they can sit and conquer countries but cannot cross a small road.
The school projects that are given, No child thinks of going to the library or gather some information from the newspapers 95% of children must be surfing the net so the education nowadays has gone down Compared to what the education was 30 years ago. Children in parts of the world forget to write as the computer is doing all for them. They don’t read they listen the computer read it out to them buy easy talking notepad. So the upcoming generation has started to be very dependent.
EFFECT OF COMPUTER IN A CERTAIN COMPANY AND IN OUR PLANET
As our technology grows and more people using computers and it can cause so much heat to our planet. In any company computers are more important. Data center in a company is used to facilitate computer systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems. It generally includes redundant or backup power supplies, redundant data communications connections, environmental controls (e.g., air conditioning, fire suppression) and security devices. IT department in a company is a major source of negative environmental impacts. The best way to reduce heat in our planet is to less consume of power because the IT is the biggest consumer of power.
According to Senior Editor Stephanie writes that Data Centers consume between 1.5% and 3% of all the power generated annualy in the United States. A certain Company called VistaPrint, where the IT departments does manage its data center facilities, discovered that its electric bill was projected to skyrocket if the comapny, which sells custom printed products online grew as predicted. Data Centers of VistaPrints hosted by "Cable and Wireless". The use of "hydropower" provides a renewable lower-emmisions of source electricity. The company replace its blade servers with virtul machines that use more server capacity and consume less power.
Using efficient coolong systems, or simply sealing holesin your data center's floor, can reduce energy consumption and ultimately , greenhous gas emmission.
Data Center Server that Consume Less Energy
Startup server maker SeaMicro today unveiled a new low-power server that promises to slash power costs for companies running large Internet services and cloud computing platforms. SeaMicro’s multi-core x86 server runs on Intel’s low-power Atom chips, whose energy efficiency has made them the processor of choice for many mobile phones and laptops.
THE GREEN ADVANTAGE
Generally, the shift to green IT is of multiple benefits. Those benefits can positively affect your return of investment making the switch all worth it. And just what are those benefits?
•First and foremost, green IT is a help to the environment. The use of them reduces the already big pile of e-waste. For instance, a simple move of replacing fluorescent bulbs with energy-efficient lights will lessen the number of burnt bulbs dumped into landfills. How? Well, high-efficiency light bulbs tend to last longer which means they require lesser replacements.
•Green IT helps you save money. Most eco-friendly technology devices are energy- efficient which means that they consume lesser energy. And in a business, that translates to less electricity to pay for.
•The first two benefits leads to this third benefit. This refers to personal fulfillment. Knowing that you have helped save the planet while earning something out of it is a very wise move that creates a sense of nobility and fulfillment.
