Rub-a-Dub Tub

Around here, we prefer a schvitz to a frothy tub. But to each his own.

Frothy might be a way to describe CNBC’s relentless Google (GOOG-NASDAQ) coverage on November 21st, the day it finally traded $500.  Cramer stormed out around 2:30 PM EST and slapped a $750 price target on the stock...classic stuff. I don’t know who invented the mute button, but that day I understood why.

Don’t get us wrong. We are good listeners. But we prefer to read...and we hope you do too…

Google quietly added a small feature to Gmail this week called Mail Fetcher. When that feature launched, Gmail became perfect.

Mail Fetcher allows users to access non-Gmail email accounts from within the Gmail interface. If you have a Yahoo email account, and a work email account, etc., you can simply access that email from within Gmail, using POP settings. Gmail will now work in a very similar way as Outlook does on the PC desktop. Techcrunch

Is gmail perfect? Probably not...and neither are we.

But you don’t have to be perfect to crush the competition. If Google eventually trades to $750 it won’t have anything to do with Cramer or CNBC.

And everything to do with innovation.
