  what's special about google is that it can generate so much revenue&income without so much cost compared to other high profit companies.
  they can do so because of search add revenue which fits so much with the structure of internet and the suply&demand

  Google 7 ○

  • where there are ‘real’ giants like IBM and HP, with revenues surpassing $100 billion.

  • hat’s 25 cents of every dollar of revenue, after taxes, after all expenses of any type.

     

    By comparison, IBM only gets about 11 cents on the dollar, producing $11 billion of net income on a little more than $100 billion in revenue. HP only gets about 7 cents on the dollar even with its vaunted turnaround under Mark Hurd: $8.1 billion on $110.4 billion of revenue.
  • The only real remaining counterpoint to Googlenomics: Microsoft. It generates 28 cents on the dollar and is three times Google’s size, with $58 billion in annual revenue.
  • Would-be kings of the Internet just have to figure out how to generate more intuitive and intrinsic value to the Web user than Google does.
