Success stories

They took orders for books, packed them and sent them to addresses. Platforms YouTube and Blogger interested in a large company Google and were bought by it. Now these portals have achieved universal recognition.
The idea is not new, but in demand
And yet, no less interesting, is there not a niche in the World Putin’s niche as interesting, relevant and necessary as search engines, social networks, online encyclopedias, all kinds of online services and hosting ... Even if all the unique ideas have been sorted out , there is an exit. An example is Google, a company that launched its search engine when the market was already occupied. Today it represents several unique services: mail, maps, the ability to create documents directly on the network, without having office programs on your computer, as well as polls. In Google, more and more people prefer to register on Google+ (like "MyMir" in Mail.ru) in order to be able to authorize their articles on the Internet, provide links to their website and find professional contacts. It is not surprising that today Google is in first place in the world ranking and second (after Yandex) in Russia.
So the most visited site today is Google. The corporation has earned this title with quality work and the pursuit of continuous excellence in its services.
