Federal Trade Commission(FTC),也就是“联邦贸易委员会”在5月21日宣布一致通过了Google对Admob的收购案,此前因为担心此次收购不利于移动广告市场上企业之间的竞争,曾进行了为期数周的反垄断调查。而在不久前,苹果公司通过收购三大手机广告Quattro Wireless,推出Ipad的iAd平台,成为推动Google这一收购案的重要因素。因为FTC相信iAd将成为Google移动广告的强大竞争对手。
Google CEO Eric Schmidt表示如果FTC拒绝批准这桩收购案,公司将奋力争取,因为这是一个非常具有战略意义的收购。Google与Admob则随即分别发表声明,这桩收购案将进入尾声,双方也会尽快融合团队。
Google CEO Eric Schmidt认为这桩收购案是十分具有战略意义的,引用Dentsu Communication Institute Inc.的数据,移动广告的市场份额已经在2009年超过PC Search广告的一半,年增长速度则接近20%。面对如此高速增长的市场,Google选择了收购。
BREAKING!!! Google has just launched real-time search, integrated into it’s all search results pages.
Google real-time search takes all the latest happenings from Live tweets, Yahoo Answers, News articles and Web pages. Good part: It works on mobiles (including iPhone) too.
That’s not all, though. Google’s has laid partnerships with both Facebook (Facebook) and MySpace (MySpace) to pull in data in real-time. The features might not be available to everyone yet, but will be within the next few days. However, all users can see it now via a “Hot Topics” feature that’s been added to Google Trends. Click on any trend, then click a “Hot Topic,” and you’ll see the new “Latest Results” area of Google search results.
