Why Google Rocks And An IPO

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i-luv-my-google dept.

Soothsayer wrote to us about the recent BusinessWeek article that profiles Google, its rise to the top, despite no marketing dollars, and tries to explain...well...why Google rocks. Oh, and some small mention of an IPO. CT I also want to note that images.google.com is my favorite place in the universe to idly explore the wierdness of the net.

    Sheesh, you get a good firm and you just want to ruin it by making it go all bonkers with greed and quarterly returns.
