Google Files for Initial Public Offering

Web Search--Google
Google Files for Initial Public Offering
Here you go, search fans. What does this mean for the searcher? Not much. Here are some bullet points from a News.com story. It will not be difficult to find more than enough coverage elsewhere.
+ Shares will be auctioned off.
+ The company wants to raise 2.7 billion with the offering.
+ "The registration filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission offers an estimate of what the company believes it may be able to raise with its initial public offering, although the filing does not disclose the number of shares that will be offered, nor the range in price for those shares."
+ "Google will create two classes of shares with different voting rights, a move that aims to guarantee founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin will maintain decision-making authority. Such structures have proven beneficial in media companies, such as The New York Times, the filing states."
+ When will Google go public? No time frame was provided in the filing.
+ Want to buy Google stock at the IPO price? According to News.com, "investors should be prepared to jump through a number of hoops to get there." These hoops include having an account with Morgan Stanley or Credit Suisse.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
