Another big leap for Google
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/5201626.stmGoogle more than doubled its profits in the second quarter, beating the expectations of analysts.
The search giant generated net income of $721m (£390m) in the three months to the end of June, compared with $342m for the corresponding period last year.
Google said the "impressive" result was driven by the launch of new products and services across various markets.
Its performance contrasts with that of rival Yahoo which warned about its 2006 trading on Tuesday.
Concerns about its trading outlook and the delayed development of a new ad search service led to a sharp fall in Yahoo's shares.
In contrast, Google saw its revenues for the last trading period rise 77% to $2.46bn from a year earlier.
I am a big googler myself but I still urge folks to try using different ones as some sites are ranked way different and could save you hours of searching, nice to see Google earning a few bucks without using monopoly tactics that many of the other big companies stoop to.
