Scotsman Makes Lemonade from Google Revenues
April 18, 2009
The UK newspapers have a chip on their shoulder when it comes to the GOOG. I shook my beak at this headline in Scotland’s leading newspaper: “Google ‘Slow Growth’ and ‘Falling Sales’. You may want to read the story here. I thought the GOOG did well, certainly better than most of the dead tree outfits. The Scotsman wrote:
It is also the first time that year-on-year growth has dropped to single digits since Google’s stock market launch in August 2004.
What made the sentence notable was that the story was broken by a pulsing eBay ad for local classifieds. I found this juxtaposition which was probably accidental amusing.
