Google Buys DoubleClick for $3.1 Billion
DoubleClick has served more cookies then Nabisco and Keabler combined and now they've sold all those valuable crumbs of information about you and me to Google for $3.1 billion in cold cash.
Google says their not evil, but DubleClick certainly is just take a look at your cookie cash. I spent the week at Search Engine Strategies in NYC and met with DubleClick at their booth, they were all in suites, ties and high heals.
Literally as this announcement was made I was at a session on AJAX listening to Google engineer Dan Crow talking about crawling practices.
