It's been that kind of week. The Dow dropped below 9,000--and the money markets are frozen, blogs Paul Krugman. Google shares shrunk below $350, and Silicon Alley Insider thinks angry shareholders will demand more accountability from GOOG management and talented employees will flee. Besides Google, tech companies getting beaten up include Apple, eBay, Microsoft, and SAP. Meanwhile, mathewingram.com suggests "anyone with a Web-based business that depends on advertising has to be asking: Is this the beginning of the end?"
