Who has similar logo with google’s new favicon?
The new Google Favicon, 
apparently is something that’s not new. It is taken from the 5th character on Google logo that has been around since Google is founded. 
When I had first discovered about it, I thought the new favicon is only for Google Adsense. At that time, Google.com is still using the old favicon, but apparently, the new favicon is rolled out later. As a much sought after company, the new favicon received mixed feeling from users. Some likes it, some dislikes it and some doesn’t care at all.
If you look closely, the new Google Favicon is almost similar with font Perpetua with a little touch up
. Open your word editor, choose font perpetua, and you should be able to get similar font.
Google is not the only company or website using small cap ‘g’ as a logo or favicon. Check this out.

If you think the new favicon is ugly, why not send your own ideas. Googlers are great in building a system, but when it comes to logo design, it is not up to the level yet
Thanks to commentators on SEORoundtable

Google missed earning target, Microsoft offered to buy Yahoo
For the last few hours, there are 2 interesting development of top 3 internet search engines company
Google miss earning forecast
Even though Google continue to be in black (profit) and its profit continue to rise to 1.21 billion from 1.03 billion on the same period a year before, but the fact that it miss the forecasted earning set by market analyst is kinda worrying the investor. OK on the simplest word, investors expect more but Google provides less. What does it mean? This is how I understand. Google’s revenue comes mostly from advertising, and big chunks of it came from the US.
At the moment, US economy is not that stable after the subprime crisis that happened from last year. Financial institution such as Citibank and JP Morgan has loss billion of dollar in their mortgage loan. Due to this also, consumers becomes more careful in spending their penny.
What is the connection between this and Google’s earning? With economic slowdown, the spending on advertising will slightly affected . So the rest is like a Domino effect, the slowdown on the other end will affect the other end along the road and so on
The most significant effect to us is the weakening of US dollar which causing you Adsence earning in USD converted to local currency lesser than usual.
Microsoft offer to buy Yahoo for 44.6 billion
Another not really shocking news, after MS announced their batter than expected profit last quarter, and the gloomy outlook of Yahoo. Ok, this is not rumors anymore. Microsoft has attempted to buy Yahoo before but it was rejected. But now, Microsoft is trying it luck again. Ironically, MS tabled the offer after Terry Semel, Yahoo chairman who’d rejects their offer earlier step down.
What is the problem with Yahoo? Why Yahoo has never recovered from their downfall? Well, the problem is within themselves. Yahoo has the most traffic in the world, but they have problem converting them into earning. Its project such Panama Project is not successful. Same fate goes to YPM which is still in beta stage after a year. Sigh
MS smell the opportunity and definitely trying to take an advantage of Yahoo current situation with hopes to catch up Google who lead the online business market. And with piles of cash it has, buying Yahoo is just another investment to grow bigger
What do you think of the whole story. Can Microsoft buy Yahoo and overtake Google???
