Among the companies that hit it big after introducing a new innovative product, many of those companies soon lose out to other competitors once they catch up and lose the\u00a0competitiveness\u00a0advantage. \u00a0Although Google may seem to be such a large and successful\u00a0organization that it would still be at the top of its industry without any innovation, but we’ll never find out. \u00a0Google has made it it’s mission to stay ahead of all other competitors. \u00a0With it’s now multitudes of different Google sites to satisfy all kind of users, it seems that Google’s reigns over the search engine industry is meant to last.<\/p>\n

Although many people know about Google Map and Google’s\u00a0myriad\u00a0of sites, Andrew Johnson’s Blog<\/a>\u00a0helped me discover some of the many ‘Easter eggs’ that Google contains. An ‘Easter egg’, for those who didn’t already know, is an\u00a0intentionally\u00a0hidden message or\u00a0mechanism\u00a0in a work such as a computer program, web page. \u00a0I find those ‘Easter eggs’ both amusing and greatly innovative. \u00a0I find that to those who discover these surprises, it leaves a sense of satisfaction, and to those who know about them, anticipation every time they type on Google to see if they discovered a new egg. \u00a0I find this addition not only improves customer satisfaction and loyalty, it markets the incredibility and differentiates themselves even more to it’s\u00a0competitors.<\/p>\n

The only question now is: What’s next Google?<\/p>\n
