Some people seem to think it didn’t have anything to do with redundancies (like here), but rather it was because the DoubleClick folks that were let go didn’t pass Google’s intense hiring standards.

However, the street doesn't. GOOG is up 55% since your post. Now the 18 months is up, is the end here? Siri Robin,

I agree with you. However, the street doesn’t. GOOG is up 55% since your post. Now the 18 months is up, is the end here?

But email is not an open market, it is very difficult to get somebody to change his email adress. Guessing from my friends they are the fastest growing email service provider and they are making tons more money of every gmail user than yahoo. Gmail ads have become very very on spot in the last months, I started to look for them because I could find new interesting software this way ( i.e. email about CRM ). ah, yes that’s true they only have 2,5 % of the email market.

However, its products and marketing will get better and better especially when it figures out how to sell advertising around its products. Its online products have real-time feedback that lets GOOG know exactly how and which features of its products are being used. MSFT has to run focus groups to figure out its software useage. That's a poor way to develop products. It is true that GOOG is no MSFT yet….
