I've been following AdMob's progress since their launch, and am honestly a bit surprised that it took someone this long to acquire them. I thought you guys might enjoy reading the founder's old blog posts to see where it all started.

You'll notice, when looking at the early months of 2006, that AdMob attained significant growth almost immediately; sometimes things just work out.

Thanks. I found that interesting, but what caught me more was how Omar approached the obvious Google problem. Mainly the fact that he realized early on that the potential market size was large enough that the entrance of Google wouldn't be the beginning and end of mobile advertising.

Another interesting post along the same lines was the post on the Launch of the iPhone. http://admob.blogspot.com/2007/01/what-does-iphone-mean-for-...
