Google axes 300 at DoubleClick

Apparently Google couldn't find jobs for them at Google. Which means Google is maxed out and there may be some Google cuts lurking over the horizon.

...The cuts represent about a quarter of DoubleClick’s American work force of about 1,200. The company has about 1,500 employees worldwide, and the chief executive of Google, Eric E. Schmidt, has suggested that job cuts would also affect DoubleClick’s overseas operations at a later date...

Just for fun, this howler is thrown into the article too. I spewed soda all over my screen when I read this:

Tom Phillips, director of DoubleClick integration at Google, wrote on the company’s official blog. “At Google, maintaining objectivity in both search and advertising is paramount to our mission and core to the trust we ask from our users.”

Google of course owns YouTube and notoriously skews search results when it suits them.

Remember folks -- "Don't be evil". Its OK to carry water for and provide cover for evil, just don't pull the trigger yourself cuz that gets messy and involves dumping bodies and other shit that looks a lot like real work. That Google would have bought DoubleClick, one of the most detested privacy invading presences on the internet, doesn't seem surprising at all.

1 Ya know...I remember when Youtube used to be cool and you could actually find clips to movies or TV shows and enjoy watching little snippets of comedy/drama/horror/fantasy gold but now it's just a bunch of bullcrap music videos and random submissions of people ranting in to a camera while looking horribly ugly and fat.

But mostly fat.

3 Aurvant,
You aren't being fair. They are very ugly too.

www.clusty.com should be linked in EVERY post that mentions the Death Star of the internet.

It's actually not evil, and gives better search results.

6 What is this double-click you speak of? Just auto-block cookies and give 'em the finger.

7 *.doubleclick.net/* has been on my adblock and cookie block lists for, like, forever.

Don't be evil?

How about: "Don't be stupid".

8 300 isn't even a good start.

If the whole "don't be evil" thing meant fuck-all, the only reason to buy double-click would be to dismantle it.

I disagree. Google is just very picky about who it hires. They didn't make the cut--so Google canned 'em. The big G doesn't want dead weight. That's been their strategy all along, and I can't say it hasn't worked.

Kinda like the KGB was. Political "reliability" is paramount.

Don't be evil (unless it's more profitable).

13 Here's an interesting posting comparing the corporate cultures at Microsoft and Google by a software developer who's worked for both. Google has better benefits and is probably more fun to work at, but career-wise and life-wise Microsoft might be better.

14 Could just mean that a lot of the things the jobs at Doubleclick were doing Google already has covered. It could mean Google is more efficient at their work than Doubleclic was.

Google certainly has the world domination thing going better than Doubleclick ever did.
