I agree, some publicity, like MoneyTv May 1st, and word of mouth will get GOIG moving.
I was wondering about Google's marketing strategy? I'm sure someone may know what the did - I heard about Google while at work one day from someone on my team; so word of mouth in case. I bet word of mouth played a big role.
Looking at Google's history I think that GOIG fits somewhere between 1999-2000 in their history.
It would awesome if GOIG's pps be similar too-
