lots of searches going on in the world on google
picture of earth showing all the bits going across the world to get information to people searching
Google foundation--want to make the world a better place
Google Grants
Orkut (social networking) getting more popular, variety of demographics, trying it out to see where it goes
let people who work for google spend 20% of their time doing what they want to do and what they think would be best for google
I thought this was a very interesting video. I think it's great that people who work for google have the opportunity to explore their ideas and be creative. Although I knew how far-reaching google is, it was really overwhelming to hear about the number and the extent to which it affects users.

Hi Rachel,
Results Oriented Movement is a growing concept. This method says that as long as the goal is met, the time need not be monitored and the method (while it remains ethical)will not be assigned. ROM works best when participants have a mature attitude toward responsibility. In the case of Google Group, people are devoting their skills to innovate a product they believe in. I have noted that given a project that is the outcome of group passion, and one that is a mere assignment, the passion project tends to yield the more novel result. Google isn't just trying to maintain the statue-quo, they are seeking to keep pushing the boundaries of their field.
Something must be working as Google seems unconcerned with current economic downturns.
