Interesting that Google are now looking for an advertising agency. They still have such amazing levels of growth. I suppose all companies need an advertising agency! I expect the launch of the new phone will help them to continue world domination. Blogs are only going to get more popular.

Thanks Janet. Hopefully they won’t hire the same people Microsoft hired. I hear Jerry’s looking for work

Yup, even with their size Google has low popularity at traditional @ non-foreign speaking languages countries like Japan and Korea. So they still need advert on the ground. Not everyone are using Google eventhough with the dramatic internet growth.

“As Google branches into cell phones, regular phones, and other products, they’re competing in spaces with more serious competition. Sometimes Google’s products sound compelling but aren’t fully baked and are rarely supported.”

This quote applies to their free directory assistance number, since it only works for business listings. The goal for their competitors (like 1-800-FREE411) is to replace the phone book — this means we have business, government, and residential listings. All for free.

Wow, I didn’t even know about the google text message service, and it’s been around since 1994? That’s a mighty long time. I guess most people started learning more about googles other services when they launched “gmail” and “blogspot”. The more they offer user based products/services, the better their traditional word of mouth campaign will go.

Just wondering about Google’s achievement on this tenth birthday. I can say they do everything to undertake all the internet data with their control..

Google launched Android and GPhone so that should bring a lot more people towards Google. They also launched the Chrome browser, and the search and Gmail app for the iPhone. QuickPWN's last blog post..Install Flash Player iPhone App

it's amazing what they've accomplished in the last 10 years with almost zero paid publicity or marketing. As they continue to take over the world and tackle new markets they will definitely have to change their game plan accordingly. it'll be interesting to see if they can make their good (great) thing last.

well, i also never heard of them offline….and as far as their traditional market they were old now the new marketing strategies have made the things more revolutionized so they are taking their stand to be in the race..

Their traditional market differs from the new ventures they’re entering into, and it is obvious that they feel compelled to use what traditionally works to push their agenda.

I NEVER would have thought in this way, but its very true. Well done. Google to me, means something big. Google to my parents, means, well nothing. Now this doesn’t mean that they don’t use the internet, they just don’t use it much. They would never think of using a google phone, or even google maps. You are dead on – if Google gets their name out there even more, they really can reach a greater audience.

They have invented, innovated and have gained market share and now need to push ahead with other strategies. The timing is exquisite. My hats off to them. Nicole Price's last blog post..Hypermiling

That is true you don’t hear about them in the offline world, if they want their phone to succeed they should start advertising on tv
