Google Trims, You Tube Widens, Shaq Tweets


image Google "has been letting workers go and up to 10,000 jobs could be on the chopping block," says WebGuild, citing unnamed "sources." Seriously? Can this make sense? "I doubt it," says Technologizer. "I've seen no news out of Google to suggest that it's facing dire financial straits that would cause it to shrink by a third." Notes Google Watch: "the source may stem from Google's clip_image002previously announced plan to trim many of its 10,000 temporary workers." WebProNews says "it isn't time to roll out the Grinch metaphors just yet." Valleywag figures "Google's most likely action will be a stealthy attrition of maybe around 2,000 underperformers. That'll be bad enough." Yahoo is trimming a bit for the holidays too, notes Search Engine Land.
