Google on MSFT/Yahoo…
Tim Armstrong, President of North American Advertising and Sales for Google, gave FBN’s Peter Barnes his company’s first reaction to the potential deal between Microsoft and Yahoo. Armstrong said:
“I think we compete against both of those companies. We also partner with both of those companies so we’re as interested as anyone in what the outcome will be.”
When asked if Google is nervous about the potential deal, Armstrong said, “I don’t think so. We had our quarterly results last night. We feel the Internet is a big, healthy environment for us and I think we feel confident in our business and the decisions we’re making. We’re more nervous about making sure we stay focused ourselves.”
