Google Likes To Invest In "Crazy Ideas"

Google's Acquisitions Chief Looking for 'Crazy' Ideas from Bloomberg.com reports Salman Ullah, Google's director of corporate development, as saying he considers investing in crazy ideas because those are ones that can become big successes.

Ullah said, "the really crazy ones do really well," explaining that "when you free yourselves from these constraints," the limitations set forth from some of the crazy ideas, "you create crazy, cool things."

The article also reports that Google has 15 people who meet with dozens of companies each week about ideas and acquisition opportunities.

Hi Barry and Danny
This is Suresh from Florida. Thank you for the advice and Daily Search Cap. Great Job and easy to keep upto date on SEO. I have a quick question about CFM file and Search Engine Handling. How does Google bot or any other search engines look at CFM file, If the entire site is built in Cold fusion, Will that effect the rankings?
If so is there any other ways to get around this? I have a client with a huge site totally built in Cold fusion, but want results in the Search Engine. I have optimized HTML pages but never came across the CFM site. Any thoughts will help
Thank you
Suresh
