Google bigger than Facebook, Netflix and Instagram combined
Google bigger than Facebook, Netflix and Instagram combined
Posted: 23 Jul 2013
We all know that Google is big, but a study released Monday showing exactly how big Google has become.
Google, and its bevy of services, including Gmail, search, YouTube and Maps, now account for 25% of all Internet traffic in North America, on average, according to Deepfield, an Internet monitoring company that released the data. 25% sounds good but how significant is that in the online world?
To put it another way, Google's bite is bigger than Facebook, Netflix, and Instagram traffic combined, Deepfield said.

Google devices are getting more popular,
I myself was contemplating the switch from iphone 4 on my next contract/ carrier as well lol,
But in all fairness comparing Google with Facebook ?
It would be fairer Facebook and Google+ and I wouldn't get those stats from Google :)
But yes there is a Gorilla in the room and it's definitely Google.
Can't say many good things about gmail in general compared with others like outlook.com,
But Google does have a very good spell checker in Google toolbar/ far better than Chromes or ie10's
But in shear size/ Surprised no.
I'm more surprised people are not more concerned with the invasion of Privacy by Google.
Possibly people know they're really not that interesting after all lol ?

Hi, i want to know and why if you prefer the taskbar buttons combined or not?
One good thing about keeping them combined is that it makes it look neater and in a way gives you more room to add to the taskbar and perhaps the only downfall is the buttons are not labeled.
