While the brick and mortar businesses are lagging economically and he country is wallowing in a self inflicted slump we internet entrepreneurs are thriving. If you do not believe me then look at Googles first quarter earnings for 2007. Google reported revenues of $3.66 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, representing a 63% increase over first quarter 2006 revenues of $2.25 billion and a 14% increase over fourth quarter 2006 revenues of $3.21 bi
