Google's Headcount Soars 57% To 19,000 (GOOG)

google-pool.jpgWe may have to recalculate our estimate for Google's food costs : While the company has said it would start to ease off on its multi-year hiring binge, headcount continues to soar. At the end of Q1, Google (GOOG) had 19,156 full-time employees, according to a SEC filing . That's a 57% year-over-year increase, from 12,238 at the end of Q1 2007.

About 1,500 of the new employees came from the company's acquisition of DoubleClick . So without the deal, Google's headcount would have jumped 44% year-over-year.

But that's about right: Q1 revenues jumped 42% year-over-year to $5.2 billion.

Google: Getting Goose Eggs From YouTube, Six Other Businesses (GOOG)

"Revenues realized through the Google Print Ads Program, Google Audio Ads, Google TV Ads, Google Checkout, YouTube, Postini and DoubleClick were not material in any of the periods presented."

Granted, that's all relative: YouTube will likely generate something like $100 million this year, which would be material to just about any other company besides Google. And Google's DoubleClick acquisition, which closed late in Q1 , will obviously generate revenue soon.

The others... don't hold your breath.

NY Tech Meetup Preview: A Twofer For Betaworks

read more Mon, 12 May 2008 23:01:00 GMT Peter Kafka

Don't think we've seen this before: Two companies backed by the same ... group of investors * presenting at the same NY Tech Meetup.

Firefly, a cool display app for Websites, and Summize, a Twitter search engine, are two of the 14 companies that have gotten funding from John Borthwick's Betaworks since last fall. We've just started using Summize , and find it to be a pretty good utility; we'd like to try out Firefly once it's out of alpha but have liked what we've seen so far (see below).

The meetup has moved back to Cooper Union, and registration is full. Our totally-not-approved-by-meetup-hunch: You can get in if you really want to. Details for those with reservations here . The lineup:
