CEO of Google said network application software will be the focus of the future

According to foreign media reports, Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, said on Thursday that the company will focus on three businesses: search, advertising and applications. From this we can see that Google is no longer satisfied with serving as the dominant player in search and advertising, but will also expand to the network software application field.
With powerful search engines, Google has a monopoly advantage in the online search market and is also the dominant player in the "pay-as-you-go" advertising field. From the financial report, we can see that almost all of Google's revenue comes from online advertising. In 2006, Google launched a "Google Apps" composed of a series of network software applications and Web release tools, thus entering the software application market. Google Apps includes two versions. The free version is intended for individual users, and the paid version is intended for companies, governments, organizations, and universities.
Analysts believe that Google Apps will pose a strong challenge to Microsoft Office. However, so far, Google's efforts to enter the application software market have barely generated revenue. Schmidt said that Google will pay more attention to its network application business, not just search and advertising. "Network applications will help users transform to a network lifestyle," he said. As people spend more and more time on the Internet, we will provide them with truly valuable applications ."
