I think we’re seeing a new definition of “the economy.” The old definition meant and measured the performance of big companies and their impact on each other. This was especially the case in media and advertising, which served only companies of a certain size because only large companies could afford to advertise in large outlets. But Google’s marketplace for advertisers of all sizes represents the small-is-the-new-big economy: no limit of small enterprises that can now add up to a critical mass. The fact that it is an auction marketplace also means that this economy is more fluid; it fills in voids. Click through to read Jeff’s most interesting explanation for this assertion.

I *don't* always agree with you; sometimes I agree with you, but your forceful manner makes me flinch. Yet, I keep you in my top 3 because you never fail to make me think. Thank you! As for this particular topic, you have it spot on. The Internet Revolution has changed business and daily life down to layers we haven't even conceived of much less explored or discussed. That the metrics have "matrixed" should surprise no one; that we can't continue to put "new wine in old skins" is our responsibility. Jeff,

Google have told us that: "Revenues from the United Kingdom totaled $803 million, representing 15% of revenue in the first quarter of 2008, compared to 16% in the first quarter of 2007 and 14% in the fourth quarter of 2007." That's a Y/Y "decline" of ONE per cent. Google had also announced that its International revenues reached $2.65 billion, or 51% of its total, compared with 47% of the total in the same period a year earlier. Google's increase in International revenues were only 4%.(Or,$106 million - Yes, that's an increase of, only $106M on the $2.544 billion from Q1 - 2007) But Google had also told us, that: "Had foreign exchange rates remained constant from the first quarter of 2007 through the first quarter of 2008, our revenues in the first quarter of 2008 would have been $202 million lower." That's a "real terms" DECLINE (and one that is representing that 51% of it's total revenues), of some $96M !!!!! A comment (elsewhere) asks, "Is it lost on everyone that half of the beat at the EPS line was driven by a lower than expected tax rate " - (23.7% vs.consensus of 26.9%)? With the falling dollar, there-in lies (in part), the true Google story.

Without the falling dollar, the analysts would have forecasted even lower earnings. The problem with that theory Geoff is that the analysts were aware of the falling dollar.

In fact I think without the falling dollar the analysts would have been correct for the last quarter.

I think Google is an excellent company, but I wasn't buying their shares at 700. Without these short-sighted fools, we never could have gotten such good buying opportunities.
