nytimes.com — Google handles roughly two-thirds of all Internet searches. And last year, Google sold nearly $22 billion in advertising, more than any media company in the world. With all those riches and more, how is Google a relatively small company? Dana Wagner, Google?s ?senior competition counsel,? is happy to explain.

Facebook and Linkedln are 2 different types of networking. Facebook is just for dicking around on and keeping social contacts up. Linkedln is partially for research, partially for job hunting; mostly job related networking.

As a employee at a small non profit. Google provides literally 10k a year in services to us for free.sync'd calendar and disposable email addresses (5k for the same from MS); analytics (2k+ for a comparable pay for use tool) and a huge source of traffic. They also provide support for docs repositories($100+/licence from MS). A Good Search functions for our sites could easily run 10k in consultancy and programming. In return Google gets their name plastered all over our sites via the search function. We think it's more than a fair trade.It's a little worrying to have to rely on a for-profit company but so far Google has come through and done it with class.
