[Slade]

So The results are out on which are the most popular brands in the world and I don't think its all that suprising that google is at No.1, and Apple is really starting to climb the ladder as well;

1 Google
2 GE (General Electric)
3 Microsoft
4 Coca-Cola
5 China Mobile
6 IBM
7 Apple
8 McDonald’s
9 Nokia
10 Marlboro

So what do you think of the list? Who do you think the best brand is?

Its good to see google at the top.. and interesting to see Marlboro in the top 10? I thought since they banned sponsorship of tobacco companies across a lot of major sports it was sure make a dent on it..

I'm surprised that GE is in the list.. I guess it must be very USA centric.. as in oz we know of GE but I wouldn't necessarily rate it as a super brand so to speak
