POPSYouTube - Ein schwerer Klotz am Bein von Google? YouTube kommt einfach nicht aus den negativen Schlagzeilen. Erst die geplatzen Deals mit Rechteinhabern, nun der Analysten Kommentar, dass YouTube im gesamten Jahr 2006 nur lächerliche 15 Millionen Dollar an Einnahmen generiert hat. Dem gegenüber steht unter anderem die Summe von 1650 Millionen, die Google für YouTube als Aktien auf den Tisch gelegt hatte.

POPSGoogle Getting in on the Bailout? Not quite. And opening an office in Reston doesn't a) qualify one as a contractor, or b) ensure that the Reston office will be the money making arm of the operation while its Googling cousins on K-street work the levers of power for the company. A more likely reason why Google is opening up an outpost in Virginia: from a tax perspective, it's much cheaper to be there than in D.C. Which is why many contractors are located in that "string of office parks" as well.

POPSObama Conducts First Presser as President-Elect This is from Obama's temporary site, Change.gov . It's a site to release news about the transition and progress toward building a cabinet. It'll probably give you an idea of how WhiteHouse.gov will look under President Obama. The use of Youtube is interesting, since you can obviously go ahead and post these videos anywhere, making them a lot more user-friendly than videos on Bush's site. He may regret it though, since he makes a joke at Nancy Reagan's expense; "I have spoken to all of them who are living -- I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan moment, doing any seances..." That one may turn up on a website or two with some forced outrage. Still, I suppose anyone with TiVo could upload a cable news version, but this just makes it that much easier. I guess we can consider this one a test run.

POPSGoogle to unveil PowerPoint Competitor Google continues to add to it's online office suite. For serious spreadsheet work, google spreadsheets and even OpenOffice.org still don't hold a candle to Excel, but for the other 95% of us, they're more than adequate. I have a feeling that google's presentation app will be more than most of us need, especially with the added bonus that the presentations already live online. I just hope there's an offline saving component for those times when you're presenting without wifi.
