Last few years saw many new ventures making it big in the internet and services sector. Companies like "Facebook" and "twitter" revolutionised the social networking, while "digg", "stumble upon" and "delicious" have organised the user's internet activities.Here is the list of few tech companies with their per founder wealth.
Apple is now the most valuable brand in the world, ending a four-year reign by Google, according to the latest Brandz ranking from Millward Brown. The ranking values the Apple brand at $153 billion, up a whopping 84% since last year.
The worldwide leader in software and the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer have entered into an alliance that is set to deliver a groundbreaking, enterprise-grade solution for mobile productivity. Microsoft Business Division President Stephen Elop and Nokia’s Executive Vice President for Devices Kai Öistämö announced the agreement, outlining a shared vision for the future of mobile productivity. This is the first time that either company has embarked on an alliance of this scope and nature.
With its still-in-limited-field-test social network Google+, Google looks poised to challenge Facebook head-on in the increasingly important social media space. Some analysts give the edge to Facebook with its large head start -- the company claims more than half a billion active users worldwide, half of whom log onto the site each day. Other pundits point to Google's large number of users across multiple products along with its engineering prowess as factors making it a formidable challenger.
So finally google plus (+) is ready for the networking market (still in Beta testing and invite only mode though) but the big question is do we need to change the social platform again i.e. from "facebook" to "google plus", more so when the 70% of the all internet users are still active on Facebook.
