Google, 3rd in Corporate Reputation

It takes most companies decades to build a great reputation. Google Inc. did it in seven years.

In a recent survey (subscription required) conducted by the WSJ which ranked the 60 most prominent companies in the world, Google got to the third place. The company which was not included in the 2004 survey was beat only by Johnson & Johnson, and Coca-Cola.

Some survey respondents called Google “indispensable” and “priceless.” Michelle V.L. Miko, a Web developer in Moss Landing, Calif., said she “can’t even recall how many years I’ve been using Google. It instantly became my search engine of choice because of its simplicity, accuracy and the clean way the site is organized. I rely solely on Google for the many things I have to research like obscure music lyrics and medical terminology.”

So, I think that we are safe now, take off the shield, Google is officialy, good & respectful…NOT.
