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.

  1. TECHNICAL QUESTION FROM FREELANCE WRITER by JMB+Communications · · Score: 0, Troll

    Hello,
    This is my first note on Slashdot so it may be in the wrong place or whatever...so I apologoize in advance if I offend anybody.

    I'm a freelance technology writer (info is at http://www.jmbcommunications.com) doing a story...if you have input please mail it to me at Jeff1620@aol.com. (It's not my "real" email address, I just use it for special occasions like this...)

    Now seriously:

    I am working on a story concerning "pushy" programs -- pesky pop-up windows proliferating on browsers, certain search engines and web
    sites, html e-newsletters that automatically connect to websites, websites that don't let you leave, and programs that change settings and install themselves...

    I want examples of such annoying programs / technologies coupled to information about any technology / programs / ideas that counter these
    programs and technologies. I do *NOT* want to interview anyone; please send info, including links and PDFs, and I will work on them. I'll respond by email.

    NOTE: AUDIENCE / PRODUCT FOCUS IS U.S. Any products you reference *MUST* be
    available now (or shortly) in the US.

    PLEASE RESPOND TO jeff1620@aol.com. THANKS!

    Jeff
