Generate Success

Learning to Generate Online Success from Google.

Google is celebrating its tenth birthday this year, and last week they launched their latest innovative product – Chrome.

Ten years ago Google revolutionised internet search engines and the way users interacted with the information superhighway.  Google helped to bring the web alive; and now they are setting the world alight again, this time by attempting to revolutionise web browsers.

Chrome is based on Webkit, an open source browser engine that powers Apple’s Safari web browser for both the MAC & PC, though oddly enough, Chrome is currently only available for PC.

The Chrome interface is sparse.  At first I thought where is everything?  But that’s part of the revolution.  Chrome only offers what you need and doesn’t clutter the GUI with add-ons and unnecessary gadgets.  A main consideration is that Chrome will become the browser of choice for WebApps.  Everyone is using WebApps more and more.  WebApps is simply applications that are stored online rather than on your computer.  Social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace, online banking and webmail are all WebApps.

So, Google are about to go head-to-head with Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Whether they will succeed where Netscape, Safari & Firefox have failed, in knocking Internet Explorer of the number 1 slot remains to be seen.  But the reason why I have written this piece for the Generate success blog is that there is a lesson to be learnt here.  Google are continuing to move forward, looking for new ways of making money.  On a much less grander scale, small businesses need to keep thinking of ways to get ahead of the competition, continually moving forward and looking at ways to offer better products and services than their competitors.

Like Google, your business will only prosper online if you are prepared to push boundaries, and then continue to look for new innovative ways to win more business.
