1996? You must be thinking "Yahoo." Google IPOd in the following decade.
- cromwellian 15y agoWe're the 7 years of Google vs Facebook, comparing the growth from launch to IPO. Even in 2003, the amount of people and time spent online was far less than it is in 2012. For example, there are an estimated 2 billion people online today, compared to 360 million in 2000. The IAB estimated $1.7 billion total spend on online advertising in 4Q 2003. In 2011, over $7 billion in a quarter, a 7x increase.
