Google may not have a Social Media but

Do you remember Orkut or Google Plus? Orkut was way more popular than Facebook in 2004-05. Google shut it down in 2014. Google focused on Google Plus but lost. So, Youtube is now the nearest thing that Google has of what we call social media. Anyway, Google is doing well despite the fact that it has no platform like Twitter or Facebook. Still, Google is doing very well when it comes to earning or revenue: Today after the bell amidst a deluge of major technology company earnings reports, Alphabet reported its own second-quarter performance. The search-and-services company posted revenues of $61.9 billion in the June 30, 2021 quarter, net income of $18.5 billion, and earnings per share of $27.26. Those figures work out to top-line growth of 62%, and net income expansion of 166%. Google invested at the right time on Chrome Browser, Android OS, Youtbe and in the recent years on Cloud technology. Still, should Google go for a social networking site like Facebook or Twitter? Well, they should focus more on Android OS for smart phones. They should invest more on their blogging platform Blogger.

    All products and service isn't hit in market. Hit product and service is Google Search, YouTube, Cloud, Android OS, Chrome. I think Google should more focus here

    I remember Google plus. But orkut is unfamiliar to me. After reading this article my opinion is that every business should have its own Strong points. It's not necessary that every product or service would bring equal benefits to every business. So the owner should choose its products according to the policy of the business.
    Rather than copying others. Business investments should be done after the analysis of targeted customers.

Wealth Gap during Corona Virus Days

For the last 18 months, life has come to a stand still in many countries of the world. So, economic activities have suffered significantly. GDP loss is natural phenomenon. According to Statista : This forecast was already restated to a GDP loss of 4.5 percent. To put this number in perspective, global GDP was estimated at around 87.55 trillion U.S. dollars in 2019 – meaning that a 4.5 percent drop in economic growth results in almost 3.94 trillion U.S. dollars of lost economic output. Excerpts from this report says perhaps the same thing too: McKinsey: How can we start to understand the enduring costs of the COVID-19 pandemic? Eric Achtmann: It’s worth taking a step back just to contextualize the short-term costs. We’re talking about $16 trillion to $35 trillion by 20253 as a potential direct cost of the pandemic. This equates to approximately wiping two years of gross income off the average American taxpayer, assuming a median gross income, or about 5 to 10 percent of a g
