Ok. 10 years ago. I Lurrrrved Google. Literally. they were amazing and making all the world sunnier and betterer and loveier. Now I know Mr Jesus said, “make no idols other than me’ dad”. But come-on. If he saw how quick it was be to search the whole t’internet, especially compared to Yawn-hoo (yahoo) he’d be google whacking his buns off, this priest was.
However, time rolleth’ on and now who’s the coolest big daddy on the block? Who is that company pushing the boundries and soaking up respect?

Facebook. Yup, there’s not been a day or night-out that hasn’t involved excessive photo taking and someone saying, “oooo that’ll be going on Facebook” or “Hey make sure you add me!”, then when you’re hanging with Ben, “shut-up”. There’s not been a day when a browser addict has clicked through to check the site.

Then in bed this week, while wondering about some more digital strategy fun, the mind starts ask silly questions. Like, if I was in a rock-band who would I be? Radio-head or Arctic monkeys? They both clearly have their own version of idealistic cool. However, since I was thinking about work… my mind was more playing with business…
Who would I prefer to be now? Facebook or Google? If I owned either, who would it be?
Any normal man at this point would clearly stop, then any OCD man would need an answer. Weigh up the big bucks of their respective revenues. Get excited over their exciting new stuff (link digital media) and look at the Labs or Facebook’s blog. What about charity work, how they help communities and those less fortunate than themselves?
But nope. None of these things helped. Could I even settle on who’s logo is cooler? erm. no. To be honest, neither is really a mobile pie or a thought den!

After all that, I still don’t know. Which makes me very sorry if you read all of this expecting a conclusion… Maybe, what do you think :S?
I’d still do Spotify.
