Ahh, so Google's update wasn't to 'clean' up the search engine. It was for the shareholders...................

this ^^^ exactly this.

Ah, welcome to The New Holywood

FB and Twitter have a weird stalemate they're both losing, and LinkedIn and Tumblr, respectively, benefit. Instagram is a good example of the FB/Twitter problem, it's the service FB wish they had built and Twitter wishes they had had sooner. A billion bucks for Instagram wasn't an example of a smart investment for FB's future, but a more defensive, even desperate move to buy a threat that was the future. While the walled cities compete for and buy userbase to feed their generally underperforming ads to, Google's focused on getting more ads in more places that dovetail with their core, particularly mobile, via their operating system, apps, and app store, and maintaining higher prices than the general social networks in spite of the huge increase in inventory by outperforming their competition, particularly by making remarketing easy and ubiquitous.

The probable future for FB is likely the fate of Myspace, Twitter will probably end up a niche microblog, LinkedIn will become increasingly relevant and valuable, and the not-so-dark horse who's trying to eat Google's lunch where they're not entrenched, and is succeeding in valuable ways, is Amazon. Ebay is where the lost potential is, they've proven themselves the opposite of agile and are best at alienating their userbase, if their culture wasn't so conservative they could put some deep hurt on all these other guys because for the foreseeable future they are the de facto online bank.

usually these kind of investments including stocks rely on speculations, that's why we call them speculative markets. we have to look into the footings of G00lgle in these markets comparing to other dot com IPOs. don't consider adsense alone the major part of earnings for g00gle and keeping up a good momentum. in whole most of the g00gle products make it to trust in their future business including their latest updates on google end user agreement and policies. it gives a clear idea on the forthcoming ventures and direction where exactly g00gle is heading. though google plus is still not as successful as the other social media networks but g00gle still has leverage over others with his range of products. g00gle has very strong footings and is gaining trust on both ends towards his share holders and customers.
the immediate growth of its shares can be due to the fundamental analysis considering market news on different policies US is going to adopt in near future including the latest bill passed by congress on end shutdown and prevent default. which seems to be a positive impact on investors side as well.

Guys, I'm not into stocks, can someone explain me how much "one share" weighs value or how much shares you need to reach 51% of total shares? Just to get the grasp of it

Most of the time, a single person doesn't own 51% of a major company I believe. And even so, they can not just single-handedly make all the decisions anyway, all the shareholders and the board still get to decide on which course they wish to take the company into.

It's a lot more complicated than this (of course), but just so you know, it doesn't happen the way it does in movies where one person who owns 51% percent overrides everything

Since we all work for Google this means more moneys for us, right?

Unfreakin believable! Wish I had bought stocks in this company! I don't suppose anyone here on BHW has?
