Comments on: Google Finance Launches http://mattinglot.com/blog/2006/03/21/google-finance-launches/ Thoughts and Stories of an Entrepreneur on the Web Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:52:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Craig Atkinson http://mattinglot.com/blog/2006/03/21/google-finance-launches/#comment-64 Sun, 16 Apr 2006 08:49:10 +0000 http://mattinglot.com/blog/2006/03/21/google-finance-launches/#comment-64 I think there is a major difference in the way that great software designers will go about designing and implementing a new system as compared to average software developers. Hotmail was likely designed without consideration to future evolution of the product and without the modularity that is necessary for new pieces of design to be inserted and the existing functionality overhauled. This is because it costs more money and time upfront as well as takes more skill to be able to develop applications with these principles in mind. However in the long run, companies like Google can take advantage of these extra "hooks" and release improvements rapidly and often. As well as integrate new products and features into existing ones.

Google is slowly progressing into the internet itself. With the anticipated launch of a google pc, that will be available in stores such as walmart, the internet itself will change, everything based off those machines, will be google driven for the most part. I am curious how Q3, and Q4 of this year will unfold themselves, there are alot of anticipated product launches, and 2006, in terms of the internet itself, has been the best year for me, business wise, thus far.
