Do you know any companies that "did it first" and are still in the lead after a number of years? To my surprise, I cannot seem to think of any.

- jkn 14y agoYes to the extent that we accept as "did it first" the companies that were the first to do it right. Not the first in the field, that would be almost impossible, there's always some kind of prior art. For example there were many search engines before Google, so they were definitely not the first in the field. Then PageRank was "doing it right" I guess and maybe they were the first to deploy that kind of algorithm?
