Google 1; Microsoft 0

by Chris Gilbey at 08:39AM (EST) on December 18, 2005 | Permanent Link | Cosmos

Google has agreed to purchase 5% of AOL from Time Warner. The deal puts a $20B valuation on AOL (good for TW); means that Google will prioritize AOL in search (changing the Google fair and balanced approach to search); and makes Microsoft - who thought they had the deal wrapped up now a distant 3rd in search (not good for MS).

Since Steve Ballmer doesn't normally like to lose, the new year should see MS getting seriously aggressive about combatting the war with Google.

Perceptric Forum

According to Wikipedia a perceptron is a type of artificial neural network.

Ergo a “Perceptric” is a person who creates or uses a neural network.

The Perceptric Blog is where Chris Gilbey posts thoughts, ideas, and links intended to stimulate thought and accelerate the transfer of ideas.

Chris is available for consulting work with the premise that it is not technologies that are disruptive so much as the people that use them.

The Perceptric mission is to help companies and people reach their goals and exceed their expectations. This will often mean offering counterintuitive conclusions.

Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making.
