Google has no reason to buy a Yellow Pages company. Does it? I’ve railed about this before, the sourcing at British newspapers is nearly as bad as second class blogs. Listen to this little bit of sourcing gymnastics:
The Independent newspaper in the U.K. reported today that a “market source heard talk of a 500 pence-per-share bid'’ for Yell by Google. Spokespeople for Yell and Google couldn’t be reached immediately to comment.
Jesus. And I woke up and thought that Google might buy Circuit City out of Chapter 11, so I printed it.
