Google never had to look back as it enjoyed a monopoly in the search engine market


It’s no secret that Google dominated the web post the dot-com bubble. And it was becoming more and and more popular when several other big dot-com companies were struggling (including the Yahoos and the AOLs of the web).

Google never had to look back as it enjoyed a monopoly in the search engine market (just like Microsoft monopolized the operating systems market in the 1990s and 2000s).

The best thing about Google (from the user point of view) is that they launched a ton of other products & services (apart from a search engine) and gave away all of them for free. Because they were able to subsidize all its cost via their highly profitable advertising business.

When Google started launching more and more web products I was super-excited as I saw myself using almost all of them. And that’s what inspired me to publish this listicle.

Please share with me any other interesting Google product/service or even a handy tool that’s not listed here so that I can add it to the list above.

So, how many Google products and services are you using?

Happy Googling! :)
