Google Inc. took another major step in its quest to ensure that wherever consumers go -- whether to their laptops to search sports scores or videos or to their phones to find a restaurant -- advertisers will be there too.
On Monday the search giant said it was buying AdMob Inc., a developer of technology that plops ads into thousands of mobile phone applications, for $750 million in Google stock.
It's one of the largest acquisitions yet for the 11-year-old company and illustrates Google's double-barreled strategy of attracting consumers with free tools to access billions of Web pages, books, maps and movies -- and then charging advertisers to pitch their wares to its huge audience.
"Despite the tremendous growth in mobile usage and the substantial investment by many businesses . . . the mobile web is still in its early stages," Susan Wojcicki, Google's vice president for product management, said in a blog post. "We believe that great mobile advertising products can encourage even more growth. That's what has us excited about this deal."
Google's advertising business generates nearly all of the company's $22 billion in annual revenue, but Google has been constantly adding to its smorgasbord of free services and applications to draw in the audiences that are valuable to advertisers.
Among search engines, Google has become a household name and receives nearly two-thirds of U.S. Web search queries. But the company has been expanding into dozens of other industries, enabling users to find books, send e-mail, make phone calls and watch video -- services that cost money before the rise of the Web.
But as Google's free products have disrupted one industry after another, questions have mounted about whether its rapid expansion is catalyzing competition or crippling it. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-google10-2009nov10,0,63129.storyGoogle Inc. took another major step in its quest to ensure that wherever consumers go... more

We limit the combined total dollar amount of item-labeled produce that any single grower can sell under our two item labels to less than $1 Million US dollars annually. This is our small effort to even the playing field between larger and smaller farms. Research shows that larger farms, particularly those with annual revenues in excess of $1 Million per year have a significant competitive advantage as compared to small family farms. Top 10 Produce LLC will invite socially conscious consumers to play a role by alerting the consumer that our brand provides a strategic advantage in favor of smaller farms, and by reminding buyers that we only license independent growers. 100% of our items have a transparency enabling barcode.
This item level barcode will be scanned by mobile phones to tell the consumer about the farmer, whether the produce is locally grown (including a map showing the location of the farm as compared to their current location based on their cell phone's GPS ), and anything else the consumer is interested to know about that produce item. Consumer reviews of fresh produce will be available to shoppers and chefs alike.
Suggestions are encouraged and welcome, so please share thoughts, concerns, criticisms and questions. We are listening carefully.We limit the combined total dollar amount of item-labeled produce that any single... more
