google buys doubleclick

by Frank Paynter on April 13, 2007

And as for Microsoft: too little, too late.

The New York Times says,

DoubleClick, which was founded in 1996, provides display ads on Web sites like MySpace, The Wall Street Journal and America Online as well as software to help those sites maximize ad revenue. The company also helps ad buyers — advertisers and ad agencies — manage and measure the effectiveness of their rich media, search and other online ads.

DoubleClick has also recently introduced a Nasdaq-like exchange for online ads that analysts say could be lucrative for Google.

“Google really wants to get into the display advertising business in a big way, and they don’t have the relationships they need to make it happen,” said Dave Morgan, the chairman of Tacoda, an online advertising network. “But DoubleClick does. It gives them immediate access to those relationships.”

This image stolen from the UFOB Recipients site, with thanks and all kinds of happy-face contextualizing emoticons if you want to get two dimensional about it. My use of the image constitutes neither a blather-blather etcetera, nor legitimate licensed doo-dah, doo-dah so I hope Scruggs is not going to go all legal kung fu [...]
