By "got there first" he could quite likely mean that they were the first to achieve search market domination, which is entirely true.

- felipemnoa 15y agoIs there any indication that that is what he meant?
- ohashi 15y agoIt seems like a pretty ridiculous definition considering the words chosen. Getting there first implies doing something first. Google didn't invent search nor did it invent the business model of PPC (GoTo/Overture did it - who were bought by YAHOO).
- anamax 15y ago> he could quite likely mean that [google was] the first to achieve search market domination, which is entirely true. What definition of "search market domination" are we using such that that is true? I'm pretty sure that Altavista had a huge market share at its peak and I suspect that it wasn't the first one to have a comparable share.
