The last 25 years of Google’s history can be boiled down to a battle against the Google bomb. Is the search engine finally losing to its hijackers?

    No mention of Yahoo? Or how Yahoo hasn’t quite “ended” just yet, even after about 20 years?

      Even Digg is still somehow around. That’s how Teddit and Twitter will be like eventually - not exactly dead but not exactly relevant either.

        It seems like a lot of people underestimate companies’ ability to be multifaceted machines. Diversification of a company’s assets and abilities will always lead to a longer lifespan and happier investors, even if the public forgets about the biggest aspects of the brand. There’s always the flipside though, where companies are mismanaged into total collapse without a backup plan, like WeWork.
