    If you’re not a fan of Google-related news, you might want to turn away now (we’ll tell you when it’s safe to resume reading). <Google Overload> Google held its annual shareholders meeting yesterday and discussed lots of topics. Here are the Pilgrim’s CliffsNotes: Yahoo: "Excited to be working with them…They were under a hostile attack and we wanted to make sure they had as many options as possible." YouTube: New ad products in development that are neither pre-roll or post-roll. Microsoft: "Microsoft is a very large competitor across all facets of Google for many reasons. Applications. Search. Advertising, display. Microsoft is well-funded, clever, smart, and they have a lot of advantages nobody else has." Microsoft/Yahoo Deal: "Obviously we’re happy it didn’t happen..Had the merger gone through, we would actually have had to have a meeting about it… have a campaign against the merger." Clearwire/WiMax Investment: "Having more competition in that space is good. And having more end-user services that need high-speed." Economy: "There’s been no change in the impact of the economy on our business." Finding New CFO: "…usually takes a year…we’re picky." Shareholder Proposals: voted down regarding censorship on the Internet and human-rights issues in countries that Google does business in. Co-founder Sergey Brin abstained from voting on the proposals, saying he agreed with their spirit. "Directionally, the two proposals are correct," Brin told 200 shareholders in the audience. </Google Overload> Pilgrim’s Update: Save 34% off Andy’s new book - Radically Transparent: Monitoring and Managing Reputations Online
