Apple, Google World's Top Brands

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-wish-i-had-a-q-rating dept.

Anil Kandangath writes "BrandChannel readers have picked the top global brands for 2004. Apple is the leader, closely followed by Google. Arab-centric Al-Jazeera ranks fifth in global as well as Europe/Africa ratings. In regionwise ratings, Google tops North America, Ikea tops Europe/Africa, Sony tops Asia-pacific while Mexican cement brand Cemex tops Latin America An interesting fact is that Steve Jobs headed Apple is the top North American brand while his other venture Pixar comes fifth in the same zeitgeist."

  1. iPod to blame? by sammykrupa · · Score: 1, Troll

    If you look at the age groups of the people that voted I bet that almost all teenagers would account for Apple being first place and then all the adults and business pros would pick Google because that use it every day (ands its free!).

      ...Not to mention the adult and business pros who chose Apple for being a superior computer company, and all the teenagers who chose Google because they use it every day (and it's free!)

    Is slashdot just an advertising board for Apple & Google? Why is this news? This *survey* hardly came from a random, independent sample! It seems to me that because Apple was shown in some positive light, the article became *slashdot-worthy*. I think not.

    I find that most often I end up learning from necessity, rather than for enjoyment.

    Errr I think you'll find that Microsoft own a significant percentage of shares in Apple.
