Google IPO Auction Opens
Google announced in a press release its auction would open today (August 13, 9:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time).
More background in this Q&A by Bambi Francisco of CBS Marketwatch. The quintessence? When it comes to GOOG, think long term!
Zoogeln.de
The new Zoogeln.de takes up on the idea of zoogling – the act of closing your eyes to enter a Google query, as described – and delivers very random results. (For a change try the Google Laar machine, which chooses a random word from the dictionary for you.)
Google Playboy Interview
Associated Press argues that a Google Playboy article may raise concerns for the upcoming IPO. (While a 7-page interview with the company co-founders doesn’t sound like it fits the quiet period, I’m sure the Google lawyers are worth their money and all is under control.)
Update: Bloomberg.com reports Google replies: “We do not believe that our involvement in the Playboy magazine article constitutes a violation (...) We would contest vigorously any claim that a violation of the Securities Act occurred.”
Update 2: you can read the full Playboy interview contained within the S-1A. [Via Battelle.]
Onpage 2 Video

Onpage 2 is a browser-based, WYSIWYG Content Management System. I created it in 2000 for my old company M+R. You can try out the demo (works with Internet Explorer). The output is XHTML1.0 Strict + CSS2, and it’s all stored in MS-SQL as XML. You can easily switch the stylesheet to create any kind of look, and there are a lot of components – like dynamic search results included anywhere within the page.
Watch a video presentation of Onpage 2 [WMV].
