Google Q2 Solid, Stock Expensive, Little New
Oh, yes, Wall Street panicked--that's new. It's hard to say whether the 7% aftermarket plummet was the result of margin slippage (the popular story) or the stock just having been too damn high in the first place, but all the hand-wringing about an "earnings miss" is almost certainly an overreac...

MySpace: $1B of Revenue in 2007 UPDATED
UPDATE: Turns out Erika (below) got bad information. I've rerun MySpace estimates based on Murdoch's recent comments. Updated estimates are $600 million in calendar 2007 and $1.2 billion in 2008. More on Silicon Alley Insider... In a lengthy piece on the trials and tribulations of UGO Netw...

Rumor of the Day: Microsoft for Facebook for $6 Billion
No, of course we can't confirm it. But it makes sense, don't you think? Steve Ballmer, desperate and furious, sick of sucking wind in the Internet game, sick of losing every Internet in-play company and much of the future to You Know Who, sick of feeling like a has-been also-ran, raiding the b...

Time to Update Those Facebook Revenue Estimates
That Facebook rate card Valleywag published yesterday? It was from February. And, yes, February was eons ago, but who would have suspected that Facebook would have doubled its sponsorship rates in the meantime? Well, it seems they have. Valleywag's Owen Thomas reveals the June rate card. L...

The (Big) Problem For Hakia, Powerset, Mahalo, and Other Google-Killers
The "highlighter" feature that search-engine Hakia announced yesterday wasn't worth a press release, but it did get me to try the company's "semantic search" service, which is actually pretty cool. As instructed, I asked Hakia three English-language questions: Why did the stock market crash? ...

Welcoming Two Guest Authors...
Thanks for the patience with the light posting of the past few weeks. I've finally summoned reinforcements...and wanted to introduce Peter Kafka and Dan Frommer, both recently from Forbes. We're working together on a project in New York, and we'll also be posting occasionally here. We'll proba...

Dear WSJ Bancrofts: Time to #@%$ or Get Off The Pot
Enough already. The sanctimonious whinging about what will become of the glorious Wall Street Journal if it falls into Rupert Murdoch's nefarious hands is an annoying sideshow, one that has gone on far too long. The Bancrofts have two futures: 1) Owners of a lot of moribund Dow Jones stock pe...

What Nielsen's Metric Shift Means - And What It Doesn't Mean
Nielsen's decision to deemphasize page views and focus instead on time-spent has the blogosphere in a tizzy. And to be sure: the shift generates some eye-popping factoids: AOL, for instance, becomes the top site on the web, due to its still-dominant IM platform, while Google drops to fifth place...

Facebook Puts Self Up For Sale: $10 Billion
[From Silicon Alley Insider]. Few seem to have noticed, but Facebook has now officially put itself in play. Peter Thiel, a Facebook investor and director, granted a detailed interview to The Deal last week in which he rejected several lowball offers that have reportedly come over the transom...

What Went Wrong At Backfence?
Mark Potts knows, but won't say. Or more accurately, the cofounder of the community website network, which burnt $3 million in less than two years before folding this summer, won't give up the good stuff. He's citing "private business matters involved that we've chosen not to discuss." Yet he's h...

TiVo Provides the Missing Movie-Download Link; Threatens Cable Cos
At long last, someone has finally addressed the gaping hole in the digital-movie-downloading business. TiVo's new deal to let subscribers rent or buy Amazon.com digital movies directly from their TiVo boxes removes an awkward step in the process: customers no longer have to futz with their compu...

Joost: The PointCast of 2007?
No startup has been more unanimously embraced (and hyped) by Big Media than Joost, the latest in a long line of (so far) failed attempts to bring television to the Internet. Today, for example Joost announced a partnership with VH-1, in which Joost will premiere a new VH-1 series before it runs...

eBay Imports Kijiji: Good Idea, Tough Competition
First, the good news: eBay has finally decided to go into a business that makes strategic sense (instead of buying random phone companies and social-web-surfing companies). Kijiji's classified ads are highly complementary to the company's core business, and they allow the eBay to use its core...

Yahoo Q2: Not All Bad
Everyone has focused on the negatives, so I'll hit some positives. Yahoo is clearly in trouble, however, so don't mistake these comments for rosy-eyed optimism. The next year will determine whether the company restores what was once the dominant global Internet franchise to glory--or becomes on...

Dead-tree media deathwatch: R.I.P. Business 2.0
It's official. Business 2.0 joins the dodos and dinosaurs, with all but a core staff of 10 getting 1-year-salary severance agreements (so Peter Kafka's sources say). The lucky 10 will reportedly augment Fortune's Valley coverage--assuming they want to. The good news (for magazine folks) is ...
