Google, the King!

Well the title of the post is huge statement especially when you talk about something as dynamic as web is. But I think and I believe that this is huge as well as it is true. Whatever Google has done in the web technologies, it has done it well and better then its competitors. Its search engine is known to the people who are not even aware of web even. And mail from Google better known as Gmail, well it simply rocks. Before Gmail I used Yahoo mail. With all due respect I found Gmail a much better option. With unlimited capacity, mail attachment of 20 MB, Ajax enabled interface, it is simply fun to use. Although similar type of options are available in other mail providers but they started it after Gmail took the initiative. That; is what makes it great.

Although my overall experience with Gmail is good enough but initially there were three simple things that made me fan of it. Those are the ability to use “.” in login name, its interface and the quickness with which it transfers large files. This last task really frustrated me when I was using Yahoo. It took hell of time to attach files and many times it just stopped giving an error message. The same thing happens with Gmail as well but not frequently. Further more and more web sites are using Google account for authentication so it adds a little more value to your Gmail account. And last but not least is iGoogle. It has some really wonderful gadgets. They will keep you updated on almost anything. It’s my homepage by the way.

The way Google has got to the top is amazing and the way it is staying up there is even more amazing and alarming for its competitors like Yahoo and Microsoft etc.
