Bit 'n Java

The other day I was watching TV and saw an ad for Google Chrome. The various scenes in that ad which all had to do with Internet Marketing and cloud computing using Google Docs, made me think. With all the new tools that are coming out from Google such as Google Apps, Chrome and the Android OS for smartphones and tablets, is Google becoming the Microsoft of the 21st Century? It seems like it as just about every new mobile device not made by Apple is using the Google Android IOS. This is basically where PCs were twenty some years ago.

The other thing about Google is its dominance in the Marketing arena. All the major tools we in the Internet marketing field use are from Google. There are a few tools outside the rink, but for the most part all the decent and known solutions all are coming out of Google’s camp. The one nice thing about the solutions is that they are not under attack yet. Everyone seems to be happy with Google’s dominance in the Internet realm.

The most interesting thing will be the competition between the Android based devices and Apple’s devices. The Android based devices are all Flash friendly compared to the Apple OS devices coming out into the market. Yes, the new version of HTML might phase out the need for Flash, but does that require jumping ahead of the gun and not supporting it? Obviously Google sees the need to keep it around awhile just as Blackberry does.  There are more things that I could get into about this, but this discussion is on my other blog, MyFavoriteTechie.com.

Overall, I think the products that Google has given to us have been great and more keep coming. As I said earlier, the interesting thing will be where Google goes in the future between Internet marketing and operating system development for a new generation of computing devices.
