It’s easy to get caught up in the Wall Street expectations game, under whose rules Google just had a disastrous third quarter. But while earnings were down significantly year over year, the company still hauled in over two billion dollars of income on $US14.10 billion of revenue. That’s got to count for something, right?
The release came earlier than expected; Google’s didn’t hold a call to discuss the quarter until 4:30 EDT, and the numbers usually roll out about an hour before that.
