05/19/2013
Estimates of revenue from advertising by a former Google executive for Tumblr is about $108 million a year.

YouTube acquired by Google generated $700 million in net income on $4 billion in ad revenues in 2012, according of Morgan Stanley, taking a number of years to build its ad model.

The Library's Future Is Not an Open Book
Wall Street Journal 05/13/13
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
