Linky Goodness, June 25

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008 by Jordan McCollum

No Linky Withdrawal here, please—we’re back and ~~better than~~ decent as ever!

Not terribly surprisingly, Google is launching the “Internet for Everyone” campaign. Because that’s a basic right. Really. I used to teach the Constitution; it’s in the 82nd Amendment*.

What the rest of us with Internet want to know: will this bring our monthly bill down? (And as marketers: what is this new audience interested in researching/purchasing online?) (via).
Publicis is creating an “Open Source” ad network by partnering with AOL, Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft. I certainly hope they told all the parties involved that this was an “open relationship.”
Oddly enough, Google’s blog post seems to have had little effect on the US Government, as members of Congress and the Department of Justice are taking a hard look at the Yahoo-Google deal. Will it be approved? Check it out next season on . . . The Young & the Profitless!
And for Google-free news: Facebook is still exploring ways to make money. They’ve announced a small business ad partnership program with Visa. Holy crap. They really are everywhere I want to be.

*What do you mean, 27 amendments? What Constitution are you reading?!

Loving the linky goodness here. Of course Google wants the internet for everyone… it’s as vital as water, oxygen and taxes.

I’ve just read the Google DNA. Does Google have a Theme Song?

It should be “If I Ruled The World”!

@Ken: yup, they do. It’s a modified version of ‘Killer Queen’, saying “Let ‘em eat internet, she says / Just like Marie Antoinette”
