“We have a huge amount of social networking inventory, including the MySpace relationship, [...] I don’t think we have the killer best way to monetize social networks yet. We are running a lot of experiments and we have had some significant improvements. But some of the things we were counting on in Q4 didn’t pan out. There were some disappointments there.” -Sergey Brin
In 2006, Google made a three year contract with MySpace to pay $900M minimum. Google's stock price plunged by 6.5% on Thurs.
アップル、ヤフー、eBayに続いて、グーグルの木曜のQ4決算報告もウォール街の予想を下回り株価が6.5%落ちた。全体の業績は悪くないんだけど、SNSからの広告収入が思ったほど上がらなかったみたいね。MySpaceとは2006年に広告掲載の3年契約を結び、最低9億ドル払う約束。「検索エンジンは情報探してるからまだしも、SNSでは広告は邪魔モノでしかないからねー」と語り草になってる。
…ありゃりゃ、そんな話よりマイクロソフト×ヤフーですね、今日は。
