TECH WEB -- Aug 7 -- Google will be the exclusive provider of text-based advertising and keyword-targeted ads on the Fox Interactive Media network, including MySpace. In return, Google will make guaranteed minimum revenue share payments to News Corp. of $900 million through Q2 2010, based on Fox achieving traffic targets. The deal was expected to be the first of many between the two companies. Last December Google agreed to pay $1 billion for a stake in AOL and form an ad partnership. FULL ARTICLE @ INFORMATION WEEK
Mark Brooks: Google is focusing on it's future. Advertising. One day it will turn a sliver of it's considerable brain power and attention towards online dating, perhaps. What will Google Dating look like? I'd expect it to be a far cry from traditional dating sites. The more we keep ahead of the game, and innovate, the less likely Google will enter the online dating fray, in earnest. Margins are slim these days, so that will also keep Google's attention away. The online dating industry is still a relatively baby sized industry at ~$600 million a year.
