The Google Times?

Via I Want Media: Google has announced plans to expand its business, reports the Washington Post. In its latest SEC filing, the company described its business model as that of a newspaper, with clear seperation between free search results and paid-for advertising. "We began as a technology company and have evolved into a software, technology, Internet, advertising and media company all rolled into one," the company said. Google hopes that its expansion, including global operations, hiring of new employees and technological advancements, will help the company not only compete with Yahoo and Microsoft's media and search engine capabilities, but surpass these offerings as well.
