Co-founder Larry Page replacing Schmidt as Google CEO
8:50 AM
0 Comments
In a surprise shakeup of its top management, Google has said that Eric Schmidt, the chief executive over the past decade, will step aside in April for co-founder Larry Page. Google yesterday said the company's other co-founder, Sergey Brin, who along with Page and Schmidt has led the "triumvirate" at the helm of the Internet search titan, would be responsible for strategic projects and new products.
Starting April, Google's Page will take over as chief executive, a move the company hopes will streamline its decision-making process amid fresh competition from Facebook and Twitter.
Schmidt, who became CEO in 2001 to bring more management experience to a then-fledgling company, will assume the role of executive chairman, focusing on deals and government outreach, among other things. Brin will concentrate on strategic projects. Schmidt, 55, a former chief executive of Novell, will remain with Google as executive chairman, focusing on deals, partnerships, customers and government outreach, Google said in a statement. He will also act as an adviser to Page, 37, who served as CEO previously, from 1998 to 2001, and Brin, also 37.
"Day-to-day adult supervision no longer needed!" Schmidt said on Twitter in a reference to when the young co-founders brought him in to run the day-to-day operations of the then-fledgling company.
Google has grown over the past decade from a startup battling other Internet search engines into a technology giant with nearly 25,000 employees and annual revenue of nearly $30 billion.
Just days ago, Apple Inc CEO Steve Jobs announced a leave of absence, leaving lieutenant Tim Cook in charge of day-to-day operations. Like Google, Apple also announced results this week that blew past Wall Street’s estimates.
Steve Jobs returned to Apple Inc (AAPL.O) in the 1990s to save the company he founded from near death. Yahoo Inc's (YHOO.O) Jerry Yang made a similar return, coming back to his Internet company during a troubled stretch -- but has failed to restore its fortunes.
The company meanwhile reported its fourth-quarter net profit increased to $2.54 billion from $1.97 billion a year ago, while revenue rose 26 percent to $8.44 billion. Shares of Google were up $2.53, or 0.4 percent, at $629.30 after opening at $639.58.

Sort Out Mails with Gmail’s Priority Inbox

Some times, you receive so many emails that you start wondering how will you ever sort out the clutter. Now is the time for you to relax as as Google introduced a new experimental beta feature – Priority Inbox in Gmail to sort out your emails automatically. Starting september, several Gmail users have got the new Priority Inbox feature to prioritize their emails as per their requirements. The emails are sorted on the basis of your interaction with mails and particular contacts.
This categorization takes place on the basis of your Gmail usage behavior – how often do you correspond to a particular sender, what mails you usually tend to open, etc. Do note that this new feature is in its beta mode at the moment and would be rolled out to all users gradually. Hence, you might have to manually tame it at times to determine which mail is important and which one is not. You already have Filters and Labels in your Gmail inbox to keep your emails organized. But when you receive emails in large amounts, Priority Inbox will make it easier to sort the most important ones and spend best time on it.
Thanks to Google and Gmail Tech Team
