Last chance for love? (Google IPO)

by AR Q on 2004-08-13 16:15:12

For Google insiders, it is the last chance to cash in. The revenue growth of
July quarter is only 7 percents compared to double-digits every quarter
since Google was founded. The acquisition of Overture did fuel Yahoo's
growth for a while, but recently it has slowed down and possibly will lead
to another Internet sector correction if not a meltdown. The good names in
Internet sector has all been acquired. The remaining independents are most
imitations not worth a dime. We are in the 8th or 9th inning.

Also, they didn't set a deadline for the bidding. My guess is that they will
continue the auction until some target price is met. The process could be
dragged indefinitely, or they could terminate it under other excuse if
things don't go in their way.

When they vowed not to be evil, I should realize they are indeed devils.

they are not imitators - yahoo is doing better things, gigablast is
much less of a kluge-fest, teoma was revolutionary, fast was almost
always better, microsoft is coming .. google has not done anything
since he original single algorithm in 1997... except gmail (google
groups was a deja.com acquisition)

How can anybody get out? So far, nobody's got in...

And the latent conspiracy theorist in me impels me toward the
idea that all these last-minute "problems" with the IPO (26 million
shares they "forgot" to register, Sergy Brin's spread in Playboy)
are just going to be used as an excuse to cancel the whole
thing next week if they don't get the bids they want...

Advertising. Companies pay for a link to appear at the top of a
search for certain keywords, and pay extra for each click on the
link. For example, Ford might pay $1,000,000 for a link to appear
for a year on the first page of a search for "Sport-Utility Vehicles",
then pay about $0.45 each time somebody clicks on the link
(example only).

Same as Yahoo!(TM) and every other "search engine" out there.
Just about everything they make money on is some variation of
that basic idea.
