Four Wonders of the Web
Google
Works Miracles
Google()is a daily
miracle to millions of people. If the Internet had only this very fast search
engine, it would have justified its existence many times over. It is the most
popular search engine on the web with a 54% market share, ahead of Yahoo! You
type almost anything, however unclear, into the space provided and in a second
it has come up with hundreds of references. If knowledge is power, then Google
commands the gateway.

YAHOO()was the first
wonder of the web, and in many respects, it still is. It started in January
1994 when two California graduate students, Jerry Yang and David Filo, started compiling(编译)a database of links, mainly
for their personal use. But well before the end of the year, it had become
recognizable as Yahoo we know today. In the past seven years, Yahoo had grown
rapidly, partly through a long string of buys. Yahoo now offers almost
everything you could want: emails, instant messages, chats, clubs, photo albums
and a lot more.
eBay Enables Everyone to Buy and Sell
eBAY(), which deals
with online trading and shopping services, is the most impressive large
Internet company where people buy and sell goods and services worldwide. It
has, for instance, opened up a global marketplace in which people from Beijing,
San Francisco, or Moscow can bid(投标)against each other for
products put up for sale by someone in London. The company’s online service
permits sellers to list items for sale, buyers to bid on items of interest, and
eBay users to browse(浏览)through listed items that is available online seven days a
week.
Amazon Makes Buying a New
Experience
Amazon()started out as an
online bookstore, constantly putting up new book titles it offered for sale. In
the late 1990s, Amazon had more than four million titles after adding CDs,
videos, DVDs and games. It continued to add new lines of business including
toys, computer software, electronics, like MP3 players, power tools, home
improvement products and online sales. For regular users, Amazon has made itself
the shortest possible path between wanting and buying.
