Surprised to Hear Google Call for Openness in Microsoft's Bid for Yahoo!

posted by Stephanie Dhue, Correspondent at 8:45 PM on 02/04/08

Photo of Stephanie DhueI have a beef about Google. The company preaches “openness” for all things involving the internet. But the company doesn’t practice what it preaches when it comes to communicating. The company has gotten better in the past year. It opened a Washington, DC office and there is a person I now know there who will respond to interview and information requests. But there has never been an interview and not much information.

Analysts tell me that large investors are wary of Google because it doesn’t share financial information as openly as other companies do. I find it ironic that a company that calls for “openness” is itself incredibly closed.
