Google Off to the Races

Google's percentage of international revenue continued to move higher, though currency fluctuations played a role in this. Revenue from outside of the U.S. totaled $1.71 billion, representing 47% of the total for the first quarter of 2007, compared with 42% in the first quarter of 2006 and 44% in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Google said Schmidt has been elected chairman, while Stanford University President John L. Hennessy, who has been on the board since 2004, was lead independent director.
