The New Google CEO
It was announced yesterday by Google CEO Eric Schmidt via this blog post that he will be stepping aside as CEO of the famous search engine giant and leaving it in the hands of co-founder Larry Page. Schmidt will be assuming a new role in the company dealing “externally, on the deals, partnerships, customers and broader business relationships, government outreach and technology thought leadership.” This came as a surprise yesterday to many.
Rumors have begun to circulate that Schmidt is being pushed out by co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin after the Goolge China decisions he made in mid 2010.

UPDATE:
Google Offers a New Service
Google Announced earlier today that they are about to unleash Google Offers, a Groupon like offers program that will help them increase their local advertising market. Google tried to buy Groupon in late 2010 for $6 Billion, but the offer was rejected by Groupon. Google Offers will give users impressive discounts at particular venues only after enough interest has been generated for that offer.
Here is more information about Google Offers.
