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,

Google is killing Google board

moderneur...@gmail.com (modern) — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 05:08:39 UT

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)

Android data requests taking off!

steve.alt...@gmail.com (modelportfolio2003) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:18:14 UT

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

steve.alt...@gmail.com (modelportfolio2003) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:46:49 UT
