Google searches for TV ad dollars

Google is extremely confident, in itself. Google CEO Eric Schmidt believes in the “Power Law Distribution,” how it powers Google’s success, in particular. I heard Schmidt proclaim to Bear Stearns earlier this week a Google YouTube invincibility: “With only a small number of online video winners feasible, other players...

YouTube: What Google CEO Eric Schmidt really thinks

I feel as if I have been traversing the country with Google CEO Eric Schmidt this week! Yesterday I enjoyed lunch with him during his address to the Morgan Stanley Technology Conference in San Francisco (read my first-hand report in “Google CEO extols $800 billion advertising opportunity”).

Should Google be trusted?

When Google speaks the world listens, and believes, the media in particular.Is that a good thing? Generally not, especially when billions of dollars of others’ property is at stake.In the past two days alone, Google speak has succeeded in much more than dampening media criticism. It’s deft media handling has...

Why Google needs Viacom, big time!

John Battelle to Big Media on Googles YouTube: “Forget the deal.” Battelle’s latest “old media doesn’t get it” piece is a rambling follow-up to a Mark Cuban verdict that old media hasn’t figured things out, YouTube things that is. Battelle’s confidence in his lack of confidence in mega...

Why Google click fraud is NOT 0.02%

It is no wonder Shuman Ghosemajumder, Google Business Product Manager for Trust & Safety, invests in lengthy and frequent public missives on how Google “protects you against click fraud,” his almost every Google backed word tends to be cited and reinforced in the media as irrefutable truth!Perhaps the most misinterpreted...

Web 2.0: Does 'old media' get it?

MySpace and Facebook are typically categorized together as “social networking” Websites. Facebook, however, makes a clear distinction between its business and that of MySpace.

Google: Why TV networks will trump YouTube

It is a mainstream media irony when the very old print media guard characterizes the broadcast old media guard as merely “posturing” before the mighty, inexorable Google. While the “old gray lady” strives to maintain an apparent “balanced” discussion of Viacom and NBC and News Corp. versus Google, Richard...

Google gets defensive, all over the world

It is a $150 billion market cap irony when perhaps the most powerful company in the world decries the use of our world’s legal system, by others. Earlier today I discussed a legal judgment against Google in Belgium and asked “Will Google pay for content?” Google has acknowledged...

Will Google pay for content?

Way back in November I asked “Is Google’s multi-billion dollar free ride over?”Google’s super profit margins are due, in part, to its shrewd, but not content owner friendly, business model by “fair use” and “safe harbor” (see “Google ’safe harbor’: ‘Nice’ way to do business?”)…Google’s $150 billion market cap relies...

YouTube: NOT future of media?

Does the future of YouTube portend the future of media? YouTube was not present at the 2007 Media Summit in New York City this week, but it was on everyone’s mind. YouTube may be following in corporate parent Google’s industry conference strategy: Minimal (non-guaranteed) presence. Rare is the...
