Posted on Businessblog™ 472 - September 1, 2004 - 10.33 AM EST Google to start unlocking shares Friday Google's stock has slipped over the past few days, and it has something to do with the expiry of the "Google stock lock-up" period.

Search engine Blinkx to challenge Google Blinkx is growing rapidly. Since its low-key launch at the end of July, some 800,000 people have downloaded the technology. Hundreds of thousands more are probably using it after downloading Blinkx from other websites or from CDs cover-mounted on magazines.
