As many (if not all) of us have noticed, Google recently came out with its most recent innovation, Google Instant. I found the combination of two articles around this recent innovation interesting. The first article discusses how Google Instant was created to compete with a much smaller, fairly new competitor, Cuil (which no longer exists), as well as companies such as Twitter and Facebook.
The Second Article talks about how the technological know how of Google Instant would be hard to replicate even for Microsoft of Ask.com. However, if a much smaller competitor such as Cuil was able to create this technology, why couldn't Microsoft?
This brings up the questions as to where exactly Google comes up with it's most recent technologies from. Are they creating cutting edge technologies, following the lead of larger competitors, or fighting off the threat of new smaller tech companies?
