But they paid too much on purpose. At that time, Google's search dominance wasn't complete yet. Microsoft was making aggressive pushes with their search. And Yahoo was still considered a serious threat to Google. So part of the 5% price bought a strategic alliance so AOL would use Google search technology, cross-share their ads/content and cooperate on areas such as video search. And that 5% also helped to keep AOL from being completely crushed. Since the investment, Google has made no aggressive moves directly against AOL that I can think of. It's the technological equivalent of a peace treaty. I think #1 explains the inflated price “Google paid too much for its 5% stake in 2005″. But they paid too much on purpose.

He always has something interesting to say, as do you of course. Did Andrew have any more to say about his recent introduction on Enterprise 2.0 for CXOs? He blogged about it recently. I ended up adding my own perspective: http://ekive.blogspot.com/2008/03/web-20-and-enterprise-20.html Welcome to the blogging world. It's good to have you here. Jeff,

Obama has only been in the US Senate since January 2005...and we all know what he's been doing since he's been there (campaigning for himself!)...So a more fair thing to do would be to count. Clinton (1.25), Obama (.25), and McCain (3.25). Serving in the Senate for less than 2 active years doesn't make him equal to McCain. I'd use the same logic with "governor" It unfair to give Clinton, Obama and McCain equal weights for Senate.
