Default Re: Is Google showing favoritism ?

From the home page of Performics.com --

"We are happy to announce that Google has acquired DoubleClick." Looks like they need an update...

From what I understand, Performics is (rather, was) a piece of DoubleClick. So google picked up DoubleClick, then weeks later chopped off the Performic component due to conflict-of-interest.

By picking up DoubleClick they also picked up 1,500 workers, and now laying off 300. So it's the biggest layoff they've had, but it looks like in the big picture they're netting 1200 additional jobs.

Bottom line, Performics was probably the 'team', but they're no longer part of the picture.
