2nd UPDATE: Verizon Wireless <3's Google

6 10 2009

Well Frak. 2 posts in one day about how flippin mind blowing Google is. Google and Verizon announce handset partnership. Means Android on Verizon. Can we say NUMBERS?! What a huge network, and what a huge win for the GOOG.  Sure enough, a climb on the NASDAQ as soon as the announcement rolls out:

As of 2:43 pm

Is there anything that it won’t touch and turn to HUGE? Now I know, there’s plenty of things they’ve started and then killed, or let die slowly and quietly, but if we think about it in terms of market and knowledge penetration, popularity, sheer “goodwill.” Who’s more GIANTer? Nobody.

Google lands energy device partner, eliminates immediate need for smart meters

Google lands energy device partner, doesn’t have to wait for smart meters | VentureBeat.

Google. When else have you heard of another company who does it all, and so well? There isn’t a day that goes by that someone on the internet posts some story about the company and I don’t get massively jealous of the people lucky enough to be making these waves (haha, I made a punny) for the company. In this instance, Google is playing fast and well in the smart (and dumb) power meter arena, something I am very very closely involved with at the moment in my own job. I’m just endlessly fascinated by all of the awesome that comes out of those buildings in Mountain View.

Maybe one day, Google? You and I? A poorly lit movie theater? You wanna make out?
