These purchases, among others have no doubt been the reason for the 381% increase since 2001. Take a look at the past purchases, there is a definite relationship between the, demand of searchers to the supply from Google. As long as it (Google) continues to ‘listen’ it will continue growth. Google is moving along at a steady pace, look at the acquisitions and then take a glance in the direction that the average user is looking, Google seems to be one step ahead. I wonder what Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin think of their creation now?

Today they scooped up Jaiku and they will continue to buy small companies at a discount. Plus Google will be following the success of Facebook applications to move into a better position with Social Networking. Google originally wanted to you to search and leave, now they also want you to be addicted to all their free services for years to come. It will take a lot for another company to get more "attention". Yea, I think Google will still be top dog. Today they scooped up Jaiku and they will continue to buy small companies at a discount.
