Competitor comparison
Google has been facing immense competition from the Facebook where 1 billion
searches have been made when compared to the search made by google is 3billion (Denning
2015). This shows that other companies have caught up to the organization so it is essential to
incorporate this anticipatory search for dealing with the flaws of the search engine.
