Someone asked me if there is any kind of competition for Google. Well, that’s a tough thing to ask or rather not the right way to put up. But still, I think that Google is having many competitors in and around but not all in the same phase.
Google is not just a single space. It is the web. It is occupied all over. Anything that you wanted to do on web, you will require Google’s help to do that in quick time. For such Google, are there any competitors? Well, the answer is an ‘Yes’ again.
Confused? Well, let me explain you in a little detail.
Categorizing Google into divisions will let everyone know the real competitors of Google. For instance, Google Maps have the real threat from it’s competitors.
Who are they?
Yelp and Foursquare. And they are awesome ! Everyone knows that.
Unlike Google, Yelp and Foursquare are not just limited to Maps. They are way more than that. They help people in finding out where to go and what to do. It’s more like an adventure planning application. Gone are those days where you find it difficult to reach a place which you are not really aware of. Applications like Yelp and Foursquare not only helps you in finding out the exact location but also suggests you the best things you don’t have to miss about the place. Best food joints, Entertainment, Relaxing zone and what not? It shows you everything that you wanted.
So, when you have Yelp and Foursquare, who would really give a thought about making use of Google Maps? Why would one use? Google might have thought the same. And that’s how the change has been initiated. And that is one of the reasons why Google Maps has taken an all new look.
In the recent update Google Maps made some tremendous changes that give users a new feel with some new features that will make their day more better.
Some of the features include, the brief details of the location that you are looking forward to. For instance, if you are looking for Disney Land, it not provides you the address information, but also helps you in checking out the reviews, pictures and the contact information that will come in handy for the users.
The same thing applies if you are a foodie. You can have an easy access to restaurants nearby and can really book a table for you date. All that from a single app on your smartphone. How cool is that?
Followed by the transportation as well. If you love Uber rides, it will show you the available services. So, that you can make your ride comfortable just by using it all on your Google Maps.
So, this is how Google is back at it’s very best. It always does the best to make people use of it’s services. And that’s how it usually settles to be on top.
With the changes in Google Maps making user experience more easy, will the other applications come up with anything more better?
Time will have the answers.
