In filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Form 10-K, Google lists 10 major competitors – Microsoft and Yahoo topped the competitors list. However Apple seems to be left out.
In 2008 & 2009, Google only listed two major competitors – Microsoft and Yahoo. And now in 2010, Google lists 10 major competitors starting from Microsoft, Yahoo on top of the list. This is not surprising, BUT the surprise is that, Apple actually was not listed on the chart.
Here is a list of ‘Top 10 Google competitors’:
1. Microsoft will be (Bing)
2. Yahoo
3. Amazon
4. EBay
5. Twitter
6. Facebook
7. Yelp (Business Review website)
8. Monster.com (Human Resources \ Job site)
9. WebMD (medical information site)
10. Kayak (travel website)
I wonder whats going on between Google & Apple :)
