If you can't beat them... WISH

Henry Blodget is a sad, sad man...

From time to time I have tried to show you how much he hates Google. His posts are always dripping with poison about this great company...

His motives are not very difficult to figure out: money... thats all, nothing cryptic there....

He has tried and tried and tried, but each time he posts about Google, the world just laughs at him...

At his latest post, Henry has now resorted to... wishing Googles founders as well as Eric Schmidt, would just... get bored and leave Google!


..having grown Google to $20 billion in revenue over seven years, Eric has certainly earned the right to take a break. We would also note that there are many other reasons why this might be a good time to exit stage left..(AND GIVE YOUR BELOVED YAHOO & M$ A BREATHER??)

  • He might be getting bored (OF PROVING YOUR "EXPERT" ANANYLIS WRONG IN EVERY STEP OF THE WAY??)
  • He might be deciding that taking Google from $20 billion to $50 billion will be a much different job (and less fun) than taking it from $0 to $20 billion. (YEAH, WORKING IN WASHINGTON SOUND LIKE A TON OF FUN...)
  • He might be observing that the search product cycle is ending and Google has not yet found another product to drive the next wave of growth, which also might be less fun (especially if the company has to start firing people)... (THE GOOGLE SEARCH PRODUCT CYCLE IS JUST BEGINING, IT'S NOT EVEN A DECADE OLD.. AS FOR THE REST... YOU SAID IT YOURSELF...)
  • Like Sergey and Larry, he might just be interested in doing something else--such as going into politics or solving the world's energy crisis. (I COULD HAVE GUESSED THAT NOVEL IDEAS & BUSINESS SENSE WOULD BE TOO HARD FOR YOU TO GRASP, BUT... THAT HARD??)
Life at Google had apparently been so easy for so long that the folks at the top had stopped thinking about how to kill their competitors and started thinking about how to solve the world's energy problems. Anytime that happens, the good times are likely coming to an end. (YEAH, THEY STOPPED THINKING... THAT'S WHY THEIR SEARCH SHARE JUST KEEPS ON GROWING EVERY MONTH...)
All of which is to say: We would not be surprised to see Eric (or, for that matter, Larry or Sergey) step down from an operating role at Google next year to pursue other interests...


Eric Schmidt already gave HIS answer:

Google Inc Chief Executive Eric Schmidt said Friday he would not serve as technology czar in Barack Obama's administration if he was asked.

"I love working at Google and I'm very happy to stay at Google, so the answer is no," Schmidt said in response to a question from CNBC host Jim Cramer in an appearance on his television show.


THERE'S ONLY ONE THING YOU REALY CAN DO HENRY...
