I Don’t Think Big G Noticed

by Mark on January 24th, 2008

What appears to be a negative?

Google Drops More Than 160 Points

“Since its peak back in the Fall at nearly 750, Google has dropped to 584 currently, a 166 point drop (it’s dropped more in after hours, all the way down to 568). It’s on a steep decline in the past few days, perhaps due to the new search stats from Nielsen, as well as jitters about the economy at large.”

No, I really don’t think Google is making anything big of it. They have other things on their mind;

Google’s Big Mobile Move in Japan
The Internet search giant has made its second big wireless linkup in the country, this time with market leader NTT DoCoMo

“Google (GOOG) is on a roll in Japan. On Jan. 24, the 800-pound gorilla of Internet search joined NTT DoCoMo (DCM) onstage to announce plans to wed elements of Google’s search technology and other online services with the No. 1 Japanese wireless operator’s i-mode mobile Net service. The deal is the second major partnership with a carrier since the Mountain View (Calif.) company formally launched its Google Mobile services here with KDDI back in July, 2006.

By cozying up to the two carriers, which combined account for 80% of Japan’s 100 million cell-phone users, Google improves its chances of being the leader in mobile search. Though not everyone in Japan has a handset that works on the fast third-generation, or 3G, wireless broadband airwaves, more than 70 million DoCoMo and KDDI subscribers do.”

P.S. - They also have this “auction thingy” going on… and a health thingy too! :)
