Even with the search Google was a latecomer to the party, but they marched ahead of their rivals silently and now others are trying to beat them at their own game.

True, G was a latecomer to the party. But their competition wasn't that good. The businesses that G is entering into now have much more experience as well as sizable footprints. Personally, I wish they'd invest more time in search.
