Google's Eric Schmidt: Google Big on Mobile and Wimax
<BlogItemUrl></a></BlogItemUrl-->
Google CEO Eric Schmidt,
interviewed in Germany, offered several insights into the future as Google sees it. Here are some standout items from that interview. Schmidt quotes are in italics:
There is still a lot of revenue in search - as we get the technology better or as we can do more targeted ads. There is no limit for search marketing. People assume that there is a limit, but we have many more ideas about technology..... mobile will be a larger business than the PC-Web. But it will take a few years.On Google's investment in the Wimax initiative to bring broadband outside of the phone carriers:
We are concerned that the carriers in the United States might close off the network.MySpace did not monetize as well as we thought. We have a lot of traffic, a lot of page views, but it is harder than we thought to get our ad network to work with social networks.

William Morris Agency is launching a new branded content and marketing division, called Agency 3.0, working with former Amp’d Mobile CEO and founder Peter Adderton. The division, which will operate as a separate company, has most of the creative team behind Amp’d’s critically acclaimed content services, and has signed on Qualcomm and Clearwire as clients, we have learned, though the company refused to confirm these clients. Our sources also say that WMA is going to invest as much as $3 million into the venture over time, though again, the company refused comment on any amount.

Myka on 2008-05-03

Hello, my name is Dan Lovy. I'm the president of Myka. On March 20th, 2008 we announced our product. Myka quite simply, lets you download torrents to a hard disk that is connected directly to your TV. We don't lock you into any service. It's Bit Torrent.
The response has been just amazing. If you Google 'myka bittorrent' you get 50 pages of news articles about us. When we started, people thought we were crazy! They would say,"You're going to make a product that is completely open!" or, "How will you control what people watch?" Myka is not AppleTV. We let you get

Billionaire investor Jeff Bezos is putting $3 million behind San Francisco-based Kongregate, an online casual games site that draws its content from Indie developers.
The investment brings Kongregate’s investment total to $9 million, with a $1 million angel round and a $5 million investment by Greylock Partners, a backer of Red Hat, Digg and Facebook.
The investment by Bezos, founder and chief executive of Amazon.com, comes through his person investment fund, Bezos Expeditions.
Kongregate competes with companies like Miniclip in trying to build large audiences for casual games offered through an Internet browser. Kongregate, founded in June 2006, offers more than 4,000 Flash and Shockwave games from more than 1,500 developers.
Kongregate Chief Executive Jim Greer likened the "super-angel" funding round to an insurance policy.
