What did they based this on? Logo? name recognition?
This week is off to a pretty ideal start for Google. Aside from the odds of Microsoft and Yahoo ganging up on it now seeming miniscule, the search giant has been named the UK's best "superbrand."
Around 2,200 consumers and an expert council voted Google into first place. Microsoft scored second, which both gives Google "I beat you" bragging rights and throws the Superbrand voting results into question. But the other brands in the top five - Mercedez-Benz, the BBC, British Airways - are more natural fits.
Stephen Cheliotis, the chairman of the Superbrands Council, explained to the BBC, "The results are . . . a further sign that Google is continuing its dominance in the UK. It is clear that Google is the brand that people value at work and in their personal lives."
BMW, Nike and Sony squeezed into the top ten, with dear old Guinness grabbing spot number twenty-three. Yahoo was down in 75th place, YouTube appeared as superbrand number 239, and none of the other companies we typically cover (or randomly mention) appeared among the top 250 results.
Monday morning or not, we're betting Larry, Sergey, and Eric are in pretty good moods at the moment.
