How do you think this will change Google, both in the company itself and how we view it? Will it turn it into another corporate and loose that fun edge? Will it's new status make it less trustworthy? For me that is one of Google's biggest assets, just how much we trust it in our daily lives. I want my information locator to be beyond reproach. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan quoted: "...that would require my explaining Einstein's Fear of Relatives" Crikey! ain't life grand?

of course they say they wont bow to wall street pressures and will stay focused on what their vision is BUT... <monologue> now that they are both billionaires and investor sentiment can affect share price which in turn can allow a takeover which would affect what google does then... no i dont trust them as much ad revenue is the key money maker on the web these days and people will do anything to get more of it ... i think the web is becoming a very large glossy ad brochure sometimes these days i must admit </monologue>

THis signals the end of the Google we know and love. Once they have external shareholders then they are committed to the bottom line and can even be sued for not wringing every last cent out of the comapny. This will mean paid placements, automatic redirecting to big sponsor's websites, etc. There will be banner ads everywhere (worse even than here).

Its a wierd one as the IPO is not for Google's ownership but the operations. So Brin and Page if clever can have their cake and eat it as well. Regardz Colin J Davies

Could you explain what the difference between having shares in "ownership" vs. "operations" is? Thanks regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan quoted: "...that would require my explaining Einstein's Fear of Relatives" Crikey! ain't life grand? Einstein says...

I'm unsure of the specifics of google's version at the IPO. But Google says they will be having dual-class shares A common way of doing this is for every Class 1 B share that they have 10 votes while a Class 2 B share has 1 vote per share. Another way is that the company is split into a parent and a child, and only the child is really sold to the public, the child company which could have it's own revenue stream would then be a seperate entity. From what the article says Page and Brin haven't exactly sold out as what we normally see happen. Regardz Colin J Davies
