SAN Cloud 9- It starts with a name (sometimes) then...: The Great Google Caught Flat Footed!

SAN Cloud 9- It starts with a name (sometimes) then...: The Great Google Caught Flat Footed!: " idea of "Google" being some sort of monopoly. This concept may come into play with certain standard online advertising concepts like CPC (cost per click) and Page Rank (a google term as in Google Page Rank). Thankfully there are some other website metrics out there like, Alexa tool bar ratings for example that also have some very important statistics that are not controlled by Google, rather Alexa is owned by Amazon.

Yet this is the story of how I found google promoting product that is not yet even in any sort of preliminary or even Beta Version!

Is it okay for a giant resource locator, like Google, to promote a product that does not yet even exist?

Now when a small independent Web Developer, such as myself, attempt to create some level of hype, interest excitement, or even simply promoting a domain, that may well be for sale. it understandable when such a developer pepper his postings with some hype about an upcoming project.

Israel must Just Say No-to Negotiation Processes Mediated by Tyranny and Mutation of Justice.: "The final component of establishing and continuing to safeguard the rights of the US, Israel, and all of the other, peace-loving and cultured nations of the world, is to maintain the proper stance in effectively preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Focusing on 1000 or so murderous bandits who just got released from prison while ignoring a nation which is dangerously close to obtaining nuclear weapons is like concerning oneself with a small colony of ants ruining your picnic when you have just heard the unmistakable growl"

SCREW-UP: Groupon Told Employees They'd Be Able To Sell Stock Friday – And That's Not True!

SCREW-UP: Groupon Told Employees They'd Be Able To Sell Stock Friday – And That's Not True!: " Groupon management told employees that they would be able to sell some of their stock in the company the same day that it goes public (Friday).
This turned out not to be true.
Why is this a big deal?
Sources close to Groupon employees tell us that some of them took the original information and made big financial decisions based on it. They started looking at paying for stuff: cars, housing, tuition, and savings.
Also, this kind of mistake also contributes to the notion that Groupon might not be ready to be a public company."

THE TRUTH ABOUT GROUPON: The Devil's In The Revenue Details

THE TRUTH ABOUT GROUPON: The Devil's In The Revenue Details: "Is Groupon a "Ponzi scheme," as many critics have alleged?

Groupon is almost profitable now, and it will likely be nicely profitable over the long haul"
