Forging Ahead Despite It All
It's somewhat comforting to see that amid economic chaos, tech companies aren't throwing in the towel. Twitter, for one, has apparently spurned a $500 million offer from Facebook, while Twitter users and watchers are so optimistic that the company will be around for the long haul, they're discussing Twitter's eventual grander purpose. Stock twits, anyone?
Hewlett-Packard said things are looking pretty good from where it sits, although Wall Street apparently chose not to believe this. RIM is anticipating strong BlackBerry Storm sales. Blockbuster is going after Netflix with a new set-top box. And while Google stock is continuing to get hammered, CEO Eric Schmidt today gave a talk for the New America Foundation in Washington, DC, and told everyone that he is optimistic.
Of course, much of the news in the tech world -- like in every other world right now -- has been of the bad variety. But at least it's not ALL bad.
