GOOG? Why?

A lot of the crap surrounding the Google IPO confuses me. I think Brin and Page’s not just shareholders first operating plan is fine, even an understandable attempt at running a corporation in a different and potentially better way. But the distinctly negative way the company is talking to potential investors and treating them is still strange. Clearly there are plenty of people willing to invest on the specified terms but every time I turn around some bit of news comes out to make the concept even worse. Got to admit that I’m not at all interested in getting in on the IPO.
