Gogle Founders Selling Shares- But will they Lose Control

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Google’s founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin plan to sell five million Google shares each over the next five years, in a trading plan disclosed Friday in a regulatory filing.

The sales, if completed, would provide each of the founders $2.75 billion based on Friday’s closing price of $550.01.

Now, here’e the interesting thing … if you read the NY Times, they tell us that the lads would not lose control of the company that they founded. But if you read Techcentral.ie (an Irish basedtechnology news wire) they give a completely different spin.

New Yowy Times says …. “The sales would bring the founders’ combined voting rights to just below 50 percent, 48 percent to be precise. But for all practical purposes, Mr. Page and Mr. Brin would continue to have effective control of the company. What’s more, Eric E. Schmidt, the chief executive, has an additional 10 percent of Google’s voting rights, giving the triumvirate absolute control over Google’s fate as long as they remain united.”

Techcentral.ie says …. “Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page are to cede majority control of the company with a forthcoming share sell-off. The duo’s stake in the company will fall from 59% to 48% after the sale is completed over a period of five years. It will mean the pair lose majority voting rights, although given that CEO Eric Schmidt has 10% voting power, the company’s senior management will still remain firmly at the wheel.”

Either way, 48% is a pretty good chunck!

Social Media and Email Marketing on the Increase in 2010

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Nearly nine out of every 10 businesses intend to maintain or increase their marketing budgets in 2010.  One half expect their customers to be spending more in the coming year.

Email Marketing and social media marketing are at the top of the list of marketing tactics respondents will increase spending on in 2010. Search Engine Marketing came in third.

Combining social media and email marketing is a growing trend. More than four out of every 10 business executives said integrating the two tactics was one of their most important email marketing initiatives for 2010, just after improving performance and targeting and growing opt-in lists.

Around one-quarter of respondents had already implemented an integrated strategy, and another 24% had formulated a strategy and were researching how to put it in practice. But 18% of business executives wanted to add social components into their e-mail campaigns and did not know where to begin.

The above results camefrom a survey comnducted by StrongMail

Microsoft Bing Goes Down

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Early in December 3rd last Microsoft Bing went wallop!

The search engine (which claims to have up to 15% market share, depending on who you listen to, although we have yet to meet ANYONE in Ireland who uses the product – except for the nice people who work in Microsoft and therefore appear to have no choice!) went offline for about 30 minutes last week.

Microsoft has apologised for the outage, which had web surfers be greeted with an error message on the search engine’s site. Microsoft stated that a “configuration change” made to the site during testing was the cause of the outage.

This, it said, had “unfortunate and unintended consequences” which included making the site unavailable. The glitch led to people either being unable to find the site or having their queries returned unanswered, Satya Nadella, one of Microsoft’s senior vice-presidents in its Online Services Division, wrote on the Bing blog.

“As soon as the issue was detected, the change was rolled back, which caused the site to return to normal behaviour,” wrote Nadella, who added that the problem was corrected in about 30 minutes.

Microsoft was looking into the root of the incident in order to take preventative measures to prevent such an incident from happening again, Nadella wrote.
