Ask HN: How much bigger is Google than other co's Twitter, snapchat, Facebook?
- mobinni 11y agoYou are comparing apples and oranges my friend. They all target specific user experiences and vastly different services. If I were to guess, Google would be vastly larger then the rest following by snapchat/facebook tied and twitter lagging behind with 300 million plus active daily users.
- baileyjp 11y agoGoogle is 80% of the world's search engine. Android runs on 70% of phones. YouTube is the most used video site on the internet. Google Maps is the most widely used Navigation tools ever. Google Play is the #1 destination to buy books and films. Yep. Google is powerful.
- mcintyre1994 11y agoThat last one surprises me - I'd have thought Amazon with Kindle and Apple with iBooks (on iPad in particular) would outsell Google on books. I'd probably have guessed iTunes top for films too but that's less surprising. Do you have a source for it just out of interest?
- monroepe 11y agoYeah I find it hard to believe that Amazon isn't #1.
- rajacombinator 11y agoGoogle is much more sprawling, diverse, Microsoftian than those other companies, which are all essentially focused on one core product.
- eecks 11y agoFB have Facebook, messenger,whatsapp, instagram, ocutulus rift and others like parse.com. I agree Google is more sprawling but only for now
