Google’s 2006 Holiday Gift

Business by Dave Naffziger on November 27, 2006 at 8:08 pm

We just received a 2006 Holiday Gift from Google - it is a very cool LCD picture frame. Definitely the best gift that they’ve sent out to date, and likely something that will sit on most recipient’s desks. The holiday card, featured “Happy Holidays” in 23 languages and the LCD frame came with a power adapter that looked like it could handle just about any power outlet - both nice reminders of Google’s truly international scope.

I don’t know if this went out publishers, advertisers or both (we do both), but in general it is a great gift and it certainly generated Google goodwill. I wonder if they sent out different gifts to other business partners.
