Step by step the directory WEB.DE turned out to be a portal

Web.de AG says about itself: “The success story of the WEB.DE AG is closely linked to brothers Matthias and Michael Greve, both of who are the company’s executive directors today. Back in 1995, when the internet was still in its infancy, they founded the internet directory WEB.DE.

Step by step the directory WEB.DE turned out to be the portal WEB.DE, which in 2000/2001 became internet’s leading communication platform. The FreeMail service, which has been awarded one of the best among different email providers, shows the company’s outstanding technological competence. By introducing the new product “Com.Win” on the market on October 1, 2002 the strategic orientation towards a web-telecommunication company became clearly discernible for the public. By launching this worldwide unique concept of the internet and the conventional telephony combined in one WEB.DE has created a new world of communication for the users and has replenished its current business model with another important component.”

Besides the search function, Web.de offers especially the following services: email account, messenger/telephony, magazine, payment system, internet access.

Is this the right strategy for further growth? I am looking very much forward to your opinion.
