Why Google Will Always Dominate Its Peers
,----[ Quote ]
| Google already has more than twice the market share of Yahoo and nearly four
| times the market share of MSN. According to Metcalf’s law (the value of a
| network increases roughly in proportion to the square of its size) this
| implies that Google’s search network would be something like four or more
| times more valuable than Yahoo’s, and something like 16 times more valuable
| than MSN’s. This is why search is so much more wildly profitable for Google's
| than the other companies.
|
| So according to Metcalf's law, when Google's market share rises from 50% to
| 55%, while Yahoo's market share falls from 25% to 20%, Google's market value
| does not merely grow by 10%, while yahoo falls by merely 20%.
