Google Politicos
OK, this article in Wired about Google wasting (ok, spending) money at the DNC and RNC conventions this month and next caught my eye. Not because, as usual, Google is attracting people by giving away freebies, but because they are allowing the proletariat to upload videos live during the convention. And, they didn’t call us to put ads on them. I don’t think that these intrepid bloggers can live on smoothies alone.
The problem here is that since Google are making a billion or so dollars every hour (oh, wait, that’s Exxon), they can afford to give away great tsotchkes and therefore get invited to these places. I’m not worried though, I think our time will come
