At the recent Organization of Spam Exporting Countries (OSEC) conference in Latvia, I was fortunate to share some upcoming new ideas with delegates from this rich group of mass opinion makers. Indeed, I was humbled to have come across such personal college heroes as N. Larjmapinuss of Pillzahoy Inc and Skamdya Ltd's Chairman, the Honorable Minister of Inherited Fortunes, Republic of Nigeria.

As one of the keynote speakers, I was excited to present Google's widely hailed new initiative for the dot-spam (.spam) top level domain deployment. As Rosy Glass, the head of UTau-Pian Team at Google Iceland emphasized, we believe .spam has the potential of becoming Web 3.0 in less than a decade. She cited examples of success stories like .info and had the entire audience nodding in agreement. Dot-spam project's laser-sharp focus and Gmail enabled support will help email-entrepreneurs connect better with their targets (markets.)

Rosy's presentation followed an orientation workshop conducted by Chuck Mormony, Product Manager at AdSense for Spam. We were very surprised and encouraged to learn the enthusiasm of email-marketing specialists, especially from Russia, India and New Zealand towards monetizing their businesses using AdSense for Spam.

On the fun side, the Latvian Department of Commerce took us scuba diving around a private island owned by the reclusive genius Scott Free, the Chairman and Chief Software Architect of Spybot Virul Technologies.

If you've had a chance to use the Web recently, your Google Search or Google News results must have thrown a lot of speculation regarding the proposed buy-out of Yahoo! by Microsoft. Needless to say, we have received 64 billion messages, mostly from a Russian e-mail marketing entrepreneur based in Chennai, India.

In order to address Google's point of view, because a lot of people are asking how this affects us, we are excited to announce our upcoming bid to purchase China.

Initially, this announcement for the bid was scheduled be presented during our shareholders Annual General Meeting at the International Space Station in June (as Hait Muyguts blogged earlier). However, in light of the recent Microsoft-Yahoo! rumors we have made a corporate resolution to announce it here.

We believe that our proposed bid to acquire China is an extension of our vision of developing a space where we can add value for users, advertisers and publishers of the world's information. China's population and efficient talent-pool will be a great addition to Google's current solutions for the entire planet.
