Googlified

Today the European Commission approves Google’s acquisition of internet ad serving company DoubleClick, that 11 long months after Google originally announced it and 3 months after the Federal Trade Commission OK’ed the acquisition last December.

So Google today announced that they have “officially acquired DoubleClick” and is ready to cut some people on the DoubleClick’s side. “As with most mergers, there may be reductions in headcount. We expect these to take place in the U.S. and possibly in other regions as well.”

The unemployment rate in the U.S. is currently at 4.8%, according to the official figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Count me in.
