Google's Worries!

Just have a look at the picture above. Google's share value has tripled from their first release in on 19th Aug 2004. This huge increase in google's shares is not only because of their patented searching technology, but also mainly due to their other innovations like Adsence.After adsence was released it's has enticed sellers from ebay and other sites, severely affecting their stock prices(have a look at ebays stock go down after start of 2005).Ok having recorded a market share of more that 52% for search engines why should google worry?Well one of their problems is that they seem to have run short of innovative ideas.The second reason being both microsoft and yahoo are catching up quietly.Yahoo launched it's much awaited competitor to google's adsence was released today. Microsoft seems to also be worried about google's search market share and plan to catch up with their start page which is going to compete with google's plan to let users Personalize their Google homepage .

I don't think that just by luring top execs from Microsoft or yahoo would do the trick. Google has to do a lot of thinking in the months to come or they are sure to lose their market share to competitors.
