      Could Bing topple Google's search reign?

      Could Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) Bing topple Google Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) search reign? Jefferies & Co. Internet analyst Youssef Squali thinks it has a chance. He says Microsoft's Bing is gaining market share and its deal to use Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO) premium search advertising tools could leave Google vulnerable. "The rate of growth in Google's market share is smaller today now that Bing is being pushed aggressively, than it was 3 or 4 or 5 months ago," he says. Watch the video below or ...

      To avoid potential embarrassments -- such as those faced by Rosetta Stone Inc., which had a successful public debut last year only to stumble later, when it lowered earnings guidance by 8 cents and postponed a $139 million secondary offering -- companies need to make sure they're ready for the "continued reporting obligations of a public company," explains Mintz Levin partner Jeffrey Schultz in The Deal's on-going video series about IPOs, shot on location at the NYSE Euronext. -- Mary Kathleen...

      Google's China conundrum

      "If Google were to leave China, it would effectively be leaving the largest Internet market in the world," says Youssef Squali, Jefferies & Co. Internet analyst, in this video interview with The Deal. The short-term impact to Google Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) business would be minimal, however. Squali estimates that Google makes about $300 million a year in China, which is less than 2% of the search leader's gross revenues.
