Google Nearing Two-Year Highs

A single product company. Course that product is the most profitable product ever in the history of business.

Google Chrome for Mac Is Finally Here

Both copied the gallery from Opera, who has had it for a really long time.

Is Anyone Using Chrome?

Chrome, as much as I love it, is still stuck in the realm of techies and early adopters. Browsers might have low cost of switching, but most people don't really care what browser they use, even if they know which one they are using at all.

Feels like half the people I work with still use IE6. And they don't care, because as far as they can tell, it gets the job done.

What's With Google's Need for Speed?

Somehow, I highly doubt the scalability of GoogleBot is tied to the speed of individual websites. Call me dubious.

Is Online Advertising Heading Off a Cliff?

I wouldn't go so far to say that the online advertising market won't be affected by the downturn. The largest buyers of ads online are autos and financials, neither of which are doing particularly well right now.

That said, I do think that certain plays are a steal right now, specifically SCOR, VCLK, and OMTR. Plays that enable a company to get more out of the dollars they do invest online seems like they would do well when everyone starts to penny-pinch. All three have been beaten hard by the markets recently and can be picked up on the cheap.
