Who would have ever thought we would say this, Google did not meet analysts' expectations for the final quarter of 2007. In the final three months of 2007 Google earned $1.21 billion, or $3.79 per share. This is the first time Google's quarterly profit did not rise by more than 25% since the company went public in the summer of 2004. In no way is this a bad thing, Google continues to rise and be a the strongest search engine on the Internet. It will be interesting to see how Google rebounds.
