International Markets Continue to Drive Google Growth
Brin pointed to growth in Google Apps, the Web application hosting service, particularly among enterprise users. A half a million people are using Google Apps for business productivity, he said, although that figure includes 300,000 people at GE using Postini, a security product acquired by Google. Still, he has high hopes for the future of Google Apps, which competes with hosted services from Amazon and others. "Ultimately, we think the cloud is just a great place to deploy apps, because of the simplicity for end-users to update and maintain them," Brin said.
