NEW YORK (Reuters) – Within days, Internet search firm Google Inc. is expected to announce it will carry out an initial public share offering, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The announcement is related to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rule that says a private company must make public more information about its business once its passes a certain size in terms of assets and number of shareholders, the Journal said.

Really people, get a hold of yourselves. The SEC has a rule about what private companies must do when they reach a certain size, Google is expected to comply with the rule. In other "news", a bear shits in the woods, indicating Google IPO is right around the corner.
