发帖数: 16371 | 1 Google (GOOG) CEO Larry Page‘s personal page on Google+ this afternoon
offers an update on how the business is going since he took over the top
spot about a year ago.
Writes Page, “Since becoming CEO again, I’ve pushed hard to increase our
velocity, improve our execution, and focus on the big bets that will make a
difference in the world.”
“Google is a large company now, but we will achieve more, and do it faster,
if we approach life with the passion and soul of a start-up.”
Page notes the company has “closed or combined over 30 products” in the
last year and given many products a facelift to make them more clean and
consistent.
Among the fun factoids mentioned, Google+ has over 100 million active users,
he writes. Over 850,000 Android-based devices are activated on a daily
basis, he notes.YouTube has over 800 million monthly users uploading an hour
of video every second.
Regarding competition between Motorola Mobility (MMI), which Google is
acquiring, and Google’s hardware partners such as Samsung Electronics (
005930KS), Page declares Google will “work with them:
We are excited about the opportunities to build great devices capitalizing
on the tremendous success and growth of Android and Motorola’s long history
of technological innovation. But it’s important to reiterate that openness
and investment by many hardware partners have contributed to Android’s
success.
On the question of how does Google make money on the newer stuff, he writes,
Our emerging high-usage products will likely generate significant new
revenue streams for Google as well as for our partners, just as search does
today. For example, we’re seeing a hugely positive revenue impact from
mobile advertising, which grew to a run rate of over $2.5 billion by the
third quarter of 2011?two and a half times more than at the same point in
2010.
Google shares today closed down $2.83, or half a percent, at $632.32. |
