What CEO Larry Page Will Be Up Against at Google
Most executives would be happy to have Google's problems, namely market dominance, revenue size and growth, and ability to enter just about any market it believes it must be in. Some will question Google's track record, but its mobile initiatives are obviously having an impact.
But llooking ahead, Larry Page, who will return to the CEO post he once held, faces numerous challenges, from reinstilling some kind of entrepreneurial culture at a bureaucracy of 24,000 employees, to coping with a threatening group of newcomers such as Facebook, Twitter and Groupon, to tapping the bigger reservoir of brand dollars still spent largely on TV.

Small businesses that are not specifically app developers and providers, on the other hand, will not have such concerns, in most cases. To some extent, they will buy turned-up services supplied by firms that already have had to make those decisions.

Twitter Ad Revenue May Reach $150 Million This Year
Twitter will triple its advertising revenue to $150 million in 2011, and it might reach $250 million in revenue next year, research firm eMarketer predicts. That isn't an overwhelming number, but some will note that Facebook booked about that much when it first started its own advertising support efforts.
Twitter has so far managed to attract big advertisers such as American Express, Coca Cola, Nissan, HP and Starbucks, and companies such as Dell have proved they can promote their products well using Twitter even before it launched its promoted tweets program.
