This all happened in one week?? This really took me by surprise, was on vacation for 2 weeks. The top article was a good read, found it rather surprising that Google would falsely claim a partnership. Will be interesting to see if Mocality will take legal action or not.
How can all this happen in a week???
Wow! That’s a lot to catch up with. Google moves fast. Guess you have to in an industry like that.
