In this era where we think of “The Big Five” technology companies that dominate our computing experience, we tend to classify each company into its own distinct bucket. Facebook is the social giant, Apple is the runaway device maker, Google controls search and advertising, Amazon is the beast of e-commerce and content and Microsoft provides us productivity and business solutions. In reality, the lines between the five companies are not so clear cut.
Think of it like the Olympic rings logo as a Venn diagram. The top five companies share features with each other and compete in the same markets. For instance, Google versus Microsoft’s Bing. Or Apple’s iOS against Google’s Android against Microsoft’s Windows Phone. Facebook versus Google+. Apple’s Mac OS X versus Windows.
