Google backlash?
July 20th, 2007
Business2 Magazine reports that Google is facing a backlash after their stock went down more than 7% yesterday. With the proposed acquisition of DoubleClick for which they’re offering $3.1 billion (already being scrutinized by the FTC) and a German conglomerate recently receiving a $166 million from the German government to build a search engine, it seems like there’s trouble from every corner.
It also seems that Google is trying to monetize Youtube as part of the solution, though with those intrusive Flash ads. My solution though would be such: Allow video bloggers on Youtube to insert Adsense in their videos and profiles. Considering the shear amount of Youtubers, I think it would be in Google’s best interest to make this another source of revenue.
