The Business Of Google
from the making-money dept
Business Week has an article on the business of Google, and how they're managing to make money despite the rest of the dot com downturn. Now, I've always been a big fan of Google (like many others), but there have been a bunch of articles like this already, and it sounds like Google is getting a little cocky. Once they've shown a few consistently profitable quarters with sustained growth, then maybe I'd be willing to cheer about their business prospects. Right now it looks like they're just building up a press campaign so they can get an IPO out the door.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
