I recently attended a seminar where it was brought to my attention that after the Sony Walkman and Sony Discman, Sony dropped the ball...

Google is currently a leader in the information technology (IT) sector; more specifically among internet search engines. The realtively innovative company has sought to expand across several setors with its Google Maps, Google Earth, Google Finance, Gmail, and many other Google based services.

Google Health is a health management tool that allows users to store medical records, connect with healthcare providers, and assess wellness measurements. While its competitor, HealthVault, powered by Microsoft, currently leads the way with pleasing visuals, various established partnerships, and taking on some of the riskiest health information management issues, could it be that slow and steady still wins the race???
