A Google giveaway: its strategy

Now that we know the secret behind Google's strategic moves, we won't get quite so worked up about the company's grand pronouncements.

Schmidt said the U.S. government is making some "stupid" moves such as reducing funding for basic science research. He might phrase it a bit differently if Google hires former White House flak Dan Senor as VP of communications.

Several news outlets reported in recent weeks that Google is hiring Senor, a former deputy White House spokesman, former information director for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq and Fox News panelist.

Chief Executive Eric Schmidt shared the dirt in Seattle last week at the Technology Alliance luncheon:
"Every few months we announce a new strategy" he said, "which is basically the old strategy modified."

Last week a Google spokesman refused to confirm the hiring. Nor does Senor appear in Google's corporate-information Web site and management list, at least not when you use the site's Google search tool.
