It provides services such as Groups, YouTube, Email, News, Directory etc.

WEAKNESSES
It is dependent mostly on its search based advertising. There is the risk of facing dead ends for the users, who find the citation but not the whole text. Its cost-per-click advertising charge & ranking policy makes it difficult for the clients to predict the positioning of their ads and their costing as per se. The products and services integration is quite heterogeneous. It does not hold any strategy for contraction. The cost for the data-center getting higher and higher. Its inability regarding YouTube to be monetized. It has weak presence regarding the social-networking space.

OPPORTUNITIES
It has vast opportunities for reaching new groups/segments and reaching for new contents. Easy expert search, which can be integrated using open-url. It can relive the trend like Yahoo! and MSN and become a mass market portal for users that will increase switching costs for its potential users. It can add localized vendors paid advertisements on the localized search. It can provide more services to the hand-held devices to capture more market that goes past the conventional internet. Its can enhance by having new acquisitions. It can increase the internet usage which will render the usage of google.com to be increased as well.

Merging with another already establish mass market portal will be a good step, but Google will start losing its well-earned brand-name. Its service relies highly on its network members. Privacy issues regarding the content ownership.

MVC
MODEL VIEW CONTROLLER

INTRODUCTION
In object-oriented programming development, model-view-controller (MVC) is the name of a methodology or design pattern for successfully and efficiently relating the user interface to underlying data models. The MVC pattern is widely used in program development with programming languages such as Java, Smalltalk, C, and C++. Model-View-Controller is the concept introduced by Smalltalk's inventors of encapsulating some data together with its processing (the model) and isolate it from the manipulation (the controller) and presentation (the view) part that has to be done on a User Interface.

COMPONENTS/OBJECTS

A model is an object representing data or even activity, e.g. a database table. This object model does not contain any information about the user interface. A view is some form of visualization of the state of the model. It includes all of the things the user can see and respond to on the screen, such as buttons, display boxes, and so forth. A controller offers facilities to change the state of the model. It is used to communicate between classes in the model and view.

MVC PATTERN IN JOOMLA

JOOMLA

Joomla is a free and open source CMS or content management system for publishing/creating websites and blogs content on the World Wide Web. It comprises a modelviewcontroller (MVC) Web application framework that can be used indepentedly also. Joomla websites are ideal for managing a websites content through a simple and functional interface, which needs no coding skills.

MVC in JOOMLA
In Joomla, the MVC pattern is implemented using three classes : Jmodel , JView and JController. If we have want to develop some component of our website using Joomla, then our file structure will be like this:

VIEW

HOW MVC PATTERN WORKS IN JOOMLA!

CONCLUSION
To provide additional power and flexibility to web designers, who may only be concerned with creating new designs rather than manipulating the underlying code, Joomla splits the traditional view into a separate view and layout. Separation of concerns is followed. Hence play a very important role in web development and make this process convenient for the developers.
