Imagine one of the major technology companies disappearing. Who would we miss?
- alagappanr 14y agoGoogle. Not just because of their search, but because of their other widely used products like, Gmail, Maps, Docs, YouTube and Reader, which contain most of our information. These are products that can easily be replaced by their competitors but are valuable just because of the sheer number of people using them and how much of our information they contain.
- bsimpson 14y agoI can't believe the author believes that the provider of the world's mental model of the Internet (Google Search) could vanish without a trace and it would be no big deal. That and GMail together would be catastrophic.

- benologist 14y agoInteresting question, but a shitty website that split it up over 13 shitty pages. They listed Amazon as #13 because they're a shopping website which shows how little thought beyond pageviews they put into their work - if Amazon disappear they take like half the internet with them and it would probably take months for affected sites to relaunch while other hosting companies scramble to get more space and servers.

Twitter's ability to quickly and efficiently provide streams of data as things happen is worth a "HAHAHA" yet RIM's failing product line is of prime importance. Interesting question, boring article.
