Morning Search Digest: January 22, 2010 January 22, 2010
Ah, Starbucks. How I love you. A grande Pike’s Place… there’s no other way to start a Friday!
Here’s what I’m reading this morning:
Google continues to make lots and lots of money: $6.67 billion in Q4 revenue.

Google gives out free Nexus One phones to top support forum contributors.
