Stability is good

Damn, it is sensible, but for those willing to take a bit of a risk it sucks.

Odin · 02-03-2004, 02:00 AM

It's sensible, but for those who were willing to take the risk it surely sucks. But Google isn't the fittest it has ever been, and if they are confident that they can improve their results, etc more, it is probablly a good move.

i wonder if the venture capital firms Sequoia Capital and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers would be interested in buying into porn sites?

wonder if it has anything to do with the fact everyone is pretty much saying Google Sucks!! after their last couple of updates ...

I would be... even though the M$ search is going to suck, if it's built right into Longhorn it's going to grab a ton of lucrative newbie traffic.

Smart move on Google's part. Doing an IPO in a market where tech stocks are still having a rough time is like trading in a future (2-3 years) dollar for 25 cents right now. They don't need the cash right now, so why IPO before the market recovers?

Oh, and I *seriously* doubt that potential investors even have a clue about SEO, let alone the recent Google ranking changes. They're looking at the books and the market, not at ranking algorithms.
