Carol Bartz Has Some Advice For Google
Plenty of people have pointed out that Google (NSDQ: GOOG) makes almost all its money from search. But given that Google’s revenue jumped 19 percent last quarter while Yahoo’s was flat, maybe Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) CEO Carol Bartz isn’t the best person to be doling out advice to Mountain View? Via the BBC:
“Google is going to have a problem because Google is only known for search,” said Ms Bartz. “It is only half our business; it’s 99.9% of their business. They’ve got to find other things to do. Google has to grow a company the size of Yahoo every year to be interesting.”
Bullshit
This lady is not qualified to be the CEO of a seriously large internet company. This kind of drivel won’t work.
Actually, she’s not far off the mark. It’s why Google is focusing so much of it’s attention towards display and mobile.
