"Google Now is definitely a great response to Siri."
That's an interesting way to put it. One could also say that Google Now is a great continuation of Google Voice Search. Or a great extension to Google Search. But of course it's also ok to say it's a response to Apples response to these technologies. Probably makes a better headline as well.
