Amazon beats Apple and Google - Telegraph

The online retailer Amazon has overtaken Apple and Google to become the most respected company in the US, according to a report.

Last year’s survey placed Apple at the top, with Google second and Amazon in fourth.

But Amazon leapfrogged them both to come out on top this year, leaving Apple a very close second, Disney third, Google fourth and Johnson & Johnson fifth.

Among other tech showings in the report, Microsoft ranked 15th, and, Facebook made its first appearance at 42.

The results come from online polling of over 14,000 people.
