Google In Search Talks With Russian Social Network

Deal would significantly boost market share

3 Comments

Google's quite interested in

Google's quite interested in Russian search and advertising, as its attempted acquisition of Begun illustrates. It's also having difficulties making headway in the country, as evidenced by the way in which Russia's Federal Antimonopoly Service halted the deal.

Google Expansion

I've always found it interesting that Google hasn't pursued more international acquisitions in the internet business like this one.  They are (at least were) sitting on lots of cash, yet when you go to some countries like the Czech Republic, Google has almost no presence.

I didn't know..

Thanks, Doug, for this bit of info. I didn't know that Russia even had a social network. Looks like it even has a cool logo!

I'm prohibited from shipping my non-lethal products outside the USA but if Russians searched for some of my other products it would be fine.
