Google

Google is quite possibly the most influential and powerful company when talking about the media and technology. What started off as a simple search engine is slowly starting to take over the web. It all ready dominates as the most used search engine. It also owns sites including Blogger, Youtube, and Picasa. It connects all of these things through the same profile. It's attempt at facebook, Google Plus, hasn't quite taken off yet but it's trying. Without Google, the internet, and even media its self, would be very different.
