Any received a Christmas present from Google this year?

I've been getting them for the past few years, but his year nada, not a thing

They're apparently not sending anything this year. Sign of the times.

GeoMal · 19-12-2008, 06:18:47 PM

Tight gits. They could at least send a card..

They were worried about upsetting their shareholders, despite their squillions (free plug there for Mr Owen) of profit.

Yup, shite indeed. I ended up with 2 memory cards, and neither worked.

They were never that great but always a nice touch, shame if they have stopped it.

I quite liked the digital photo frame (link for Scott

) at the time, and the previous year's USB goodies actually came in useful on a few occasions - liked the reading light.

It is just nice to be recognised as someone that produces their revenue. I have cut my adwords spend a lot his year thanks to SEO, but it is still close to six figures, and I am sure I am a tiddler compared to a lot around here.

If I had a client giving me that much each year I would damn well make sure to buy them a present. Shame.

I was about to start a similar thread.

Last year I managed 4 gifts from various companies but for the first time in 5 years absolutely nothing received from anybody this year, apart from 1 Christmas Card and an email greeting from Sedo!
