Google has had a meteoric rise to stardom. I remember an article I saw in PC World Indian Edition in the year 1999 which mentioned this small startup with a funny name. I passed it on like yet another search engine which were booming in those days. Who could have thought that day that in the coming years it will reach such massive heights that companies like Microsoft and Yahoo! would find it tough competing.
They have come a long way since then. Now they have an arsenal full of utilities for the common netizen. They have added loads of additional services to their search engine, they have introduced web search tools like the Google Toolbar and Google Deskbar, and they have launched non search related services like Orkut and GMail! So, what’s next for Google? What is there to conquer now? What fields can Google set its eyes on? I am in no position to guess what Google has on its mind but I have given some thoughts on what I would like to see Google get into!
