Innovation very much alive at Google

2009-12-08T10:23:39Z

In the past few days, Google has taken some dramatic steps that prove
innovation there is very much alive and well (as if anyone doubted
it!). And Google will not hesitate to buy in the necessary skills to
improve overall product innovation.

1. Over the next few weeks Google will roll out real-time search,

6 month target price was set after Q3 2009 eps report on Oct 16 when

Google is killing Google board

2009-12-03T05:08:39Z

Google is going to kill all discussion boards on google board. Because
of their new requirement to give a phone number when setting up an
account, they are doing nothing more than establishing a new
totalitarian system of control. Strange that a Russian (Sergey Brin)
would want to impose on us all, something he opposed all his life in

Android data requests taking off!

2009-11-24T09:18:14Z

According to AdMob Mobile Metrics Report that serves ads into Android
applications and on the mobile web sites, data shows fast-growing data
requests on Android devices, with HTC and Motorola leading the
charge. Why is this important? It is a big factor in gaining subsidy
support from the carrier (which improves Android handset visitbility)

Search market share for Google rises to all time high

2009-11-17T06:46:49Z

Note that comScore published data from October and according to
published accounts:

1. Google's 65.4% market share is at an all-time high.
2. The proposed Bing-Yahoo platform lost 30 basis points of market
share, now at 27.9%. Bing's gain to 9.9% share (same level for
Microsoft as two years ago) could not offset Yahoo's losses from Sept

Google share buybacks?

2009-11-12T07:56:25Z

Following Eric's comments on last quarter CC that Google is back in
the acquisition business, and with the shares up 23% in last 3 months,
seems press reports (following AdMob purchase for stock) that Google
is buying lots of companies. For example, link on today's Google
finance news as follows:

Search ads are the lifeblood of Google, and Google has begun bleeding
hard and fast.

Amazingly, Bing results are turning out to be better and more accurate
than Google, and easier from surveys. This is going to cause a larger

OK, it was nice that T-mobile started providing the Driode, even if
they ended up being late at it, and delaying into weekend. However,
people wanted a larger more major carrier to provide the Driode.

Enter Verizon (I believe largest network in America).
Can someone back me up here.
