It is clever, but that's not surprising coming from them.. what's interesting is the new benefits offline businesses will be getting, so it's not just clever but very useful at the same time, all the while putting a lick kick into MS backside...

too early in the morning - 'are' the new benefits and not 'lick' - 'little'... the old brain must've combined 'little kick' into 'lick'

Less than half of small businesses are online, and so they’re not taking out ads on Google either. Google stands to profit if it can give these businesses Web sites, and then encourage them to take out ads to be placed beside Google search results.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://venturebeat.com/?p=1895"><P>This alliance with Mountain View’s Intuit is a smart way to do that. Under the accord, small businesses using Intuit’s Quickbooks software get a free web site — significant, because less than half of the businesses using Intuit’s Quickbooks software are online.
