Search giant is number one business brand in the UK

Google is the number one business brand in the UK, according to the latest Superbrands survey.

The search giant came in ahead of the BBC, The Financial Times and British Airways, but will draw the greatest pleasure from pipping arch rival Microsoft to the top spot.

Apple, meanwhile, has dropped out of the top 10 despite the arrival of the iPhone, Apple TV and MacBook Air.

The survey, which was drawn up by senior business leaders, canvassed the opinions of 1,500 professionals.

Top 10 business brands:

1. Google
2. Microsoft
3. BP
4. BBC
5. Glaxosmithkline
6. Rolls-Royce Group
7. Financial Times
8. British Airways
9. Fedex Express
10. Hertz

Firefox just reached 500,000,000 downloads, an absolutely phenomenal milestone for Firefox. It is sort of hard to imagine what that number means. For some perspective, half a billion is roughly the audience size of 10,000 Roman Colosseums combined. It would be the weight, in kilograms, of 8,500 Boeing 747 airplanes. In dollars, for $500 million you and 15 of your friends can fly to the International Space Station. Alternately, you can effect change and invite those 15 friends to play a game and feed 25,000 people. With your help we can break another milestone with FreeRice.com by working together to donate 500,000,000 grains of rice to people in need. Help us celebrate by helping feed the hungry while picking up some new vocabulary, too!
