Why Google is so popular?
How many of us have a day without Google O my God it’s a question?
Google is the most friendly search engine I have ever seen yes sure I can call him a friend too
Because ‘He’ never disappoints me Never; and after all a friend in need is a friend indeed right
Google changed the face of search technology by evaluating a web page’s importance by the links that pointed at it, both in sheer number and by how much Google trusted the sites those links came from. Google is fine-tuning their search algorithm to accommodate an accurate Author Rank score — which is a radically different way to identify great content out of the clutter. In simple words “Google with its well tuned algorithm provides you with well refined Result for your search” 
Google Recently announced that the voice recognition tools in Google Now will be added to Google Search. These kinds of searches have been available for a while now in Google Search only as typed queries for people participating in the field test. But this is the first time Google's voice search will be able to recognize this sort of typed query and voice query by default. Yes with Voice search -Ask questions out loud and get answers spoken back good!
And with the new Google knowledge Graph -Google can understand the difference, helping you more precisely express what you mean as you enter your search.
While growing fast Google is nourishing knowledge of our life with quality content

‘Google continues to dominate the worldwide search market, with its sites accounting for over
66% of searches
With 900000000 -Estimated unique monthly Visitors ‘

Facebook  V/s Google +

Recent research reports says that  Google‘s strategy is working in terms of getting users engaged in its social networks. The report estimates Facebook‘s active users in mid 2013 at 693 million, compared to 350 million for Google+& YouTube with  280 million .Its a fact that facebook’s Active user’s accounts are more active than G+’s
While Google is compared to Facebook’s new Graph Search. Its data indicate a marked decline in the percent of Facebook users who are actively sharing information about their daily lives—a significant source of data for Graph Search.
Facebook is only aggregating what exists in the Facebook eco-system or what consumers have opted into share.


The reason for Google + increasing popularity as per the research is the way that people are being made aware of its value in a business context. Google has added pop-up labels that help to identify people in your company as you post updates, for example. But, beyond these mechanical features, Google has promised that Google+ profiles will factor more in search rankings over time, so more and more people are beginning to pay attention and at least fill out their profiles and link them to their content so as not to miss out. Google has wired together all of its products and used those interconnections to boost “active usage,” is indeed relevant, because it indicates the density of data it can collect about its users
