YouTube and new GOOG: The first time a Goog embrace has been met with Jitters:

http://www.forbes.com/entrepreneurs/feeds/ap/2006/10/11/ap3084503.html


Microsoft is supposed to play the heavy. More importantly, first departure from the math-loving self confidence promoting internal growth, small company aquisition for all cash. Now playing the investment bankers, and more shockingly, IT'S OWN STOCK AS CURRENCY.

All lights are green for now.

Acceptance of Google Books has publishers thowing in the towel.

Quote:

Google books

Published: October 29 2008 09:34 | Last updated: October 29 2008 20:38

These days, publishers don’t need a search engine to know which way the wind blows. This week’s settlement of US book publishers’ long-running dispute with Google over the search group’s plans to make millions of copyrighted books available for browsing online was just the latest sign that purveyors of dead trees and ink are coming to terms with the internet’s rise as the dominant medium of the age. After all, the same day the deal was announced, The Christian Science Monitor newspaper said it would abandon its daily print edition in favour of a weekly paper and daily online version, adding credence to the notion that in today’s media environment, the shift from print to pixels is all but inevitable.

If approved by a US judge, the Google deal would clear the way for the search engine to digitise books and make snippets of their contents available to web surfers, paying authors and publishers when readers buy online access to the works.


Google’s plans for an online books market, together with the success of gadgets such as Amazon’s Kindle e-book reader, have fanned hopes of a digital breakthrough. But what would that mean for publishers? In the short term, both authors and publishers could benefit as Google gives users access to the millions of out-of-print, but still copyright-protected, books that account for most titles in the industry, but none of the sales.

Other benefits of a digital shift, such as e-books’ potential to cut down on distribution costs, will take longer to accrue. PwC, the consultants, expect digital books to account for just over 5 per cent of total book spending, worth about $6.8bn, by 2012. While that would represent solid growth from last year’s estimated 1.2 per cent share, bibliophiles can take heart: publishers would still be left with plenty of dead tree books to move around.

GOOG handily beats quarterly estimates - stock was up slightly more than 10% in AH trading earlier:

Under 400. Truely a tough nut to crack.

"Chrome" is a compromise. It is also a huge bet on people's ingnorance and inertia. If it's "anonymity" feature is fully used it would kill its creator:

Much will depend on bandwidth providers and Google's efforts to integrate it's apps. My bet is Microsoft stronger for longer.

Live.com is working pretty well for practical matters; and the (Olympic now) photo backdrop is plain cool.
