Google IPO Hype

There’s more Google IPO talk this morning, coming out of the article I linked to yesterday. From Briefing.com:

07:49 ET Google Plays : CBS MarketWatch running a story speculating what Google would do with IPO cash. One individual interviewed for the story thinks Google would need to strengthen its technology with a purchase of a company like Akamai (AKAM). Or Google could use cash to help compete with larger rivals such as Yahoo! and Microsoft, which may be looking to make acquisitions of their own. According to article, many observers believe Yahoo might buy Google’s top rival in the paid-search business, Overture (OVER), or that Microsoft might bid for LookSmart (LOOK).

Let’s see how these stocks move today…
