ByNalts March 11, 2008December 20, 2009

Google closed on the acquisition of DoubleClick today, and issued this statement to address concerns (continued Dart service, as well as privacy provisions).

Google’s muscle, innovation and discipline from the paid search origins means this could enhance the…
