They provide advertising based services that are free..but every business has a limit (for mathematicians – google’s limits do not extend to infinity).

If they need organic growth, they are probably going to hit a wall pretty soon.

Om – can you please do a write up on the partnerships google has and the revenue they have been hitting up with them. They have been poor partners and even poorer in ackowledging the role of their partners. One more thing they have been pretty good at – is shunning the publicity on all the lawsuits hitting them – if any!!! ;)

Since big deals seem counter to Google’s DNA, is it more likely just fishing, driving up the price, winning by losing?
