What do we call Google, Meta, or Microsoft?
- quantified 1y agoWell, fill in where I'm missing the essence. This is how I'm looking at it: Meta is advertising, demographic intelligence, social media. Google is advertising, cloud computing, social media. (Youtube is social media, more "broadcast" than print.) Cloud computing is tech, but the business is computer rentals. Microsoft is a conglomerate. Some of it is "tech": Windows, SQL Server. Office productivity is tech. Search, games. Cloud computing is computer rentals again. It's what they actually make money on, not the means by which they make it.
