If Apple went tits up, where would IBM and the rest of the industry get their ideas from?

The companies listed has become so innate in the consumers' mind that they have become synonymous with the product or service they provide. For example, when one thinks of fast food, Mcdonalds will come to mind. When one thinks of search engine, Google should be tops. I'm a little surprised Starbucks didn't make the list.

Revscene should be in the Top 100 Most valuable Brands/websites in Canada. It's on par with Facebook. Heck, I'm so addicted to RevScene that I think we should start having a Mobile version of it.  | |
