WebNerd Alert: Google makes it rain!

When they're showering out money to scoop other companies
On April 13, 2007, Google copped DoubleClick for $3.1 million...IN CASH! (PacMan Jones ain't effing with that!)

In yet another bold move in their quest for world takeover, Google has dropped a fat knot to cop one of those up-and-coming web companies.
"The sale offers Google access to DoubleClick's advertisement software and, more importantly, its relationships with Web publishers, advertisers and advertising agencies."
What this means for us is that as time goes on, an increasing percentage of the ads we see online will be driven by Google. It also means that if we click on these ads and purchase things, we'll be supporting Google.

Surf the Wall Street Journal? You're getting Google ads. Communicating on Myspace? You're getting Google ads.

I am beginning to think that soon people will hate Google as much as they hate Wal-Mart (who also has a plan for world takeover). We'll see though.

If Google and Wal-Mart partnered, there'd problee be mass suicides across the country as *some* would think that this is the first phase of Armageddon. Or, there'd be nerd and rural militias (respectively) popping up out of the woodwork to defend themselves.

But until then, I'll be sitting back watching Google make my life easier and coppin toothpaste, toilet tissue, and boxer briefs from Wal-Mart.

And in case you have missed previous rants about Google...
