The Philanthropic Arm of Google
GoatJuggler writes "I accidentally visited google.org recently and ended up at a different Google site that appears to be a placeholder for Google's future foray into the world of philanthropy. A quote from Sergey Brin & Larry Page is there now, 'We hope that someday this institution will eclipse Google itself in overall world impact by ambitiously applying innovation and significant resources to the largest of the world's problems.' Not much to see there now, but it's certainly refreshing to see a successful company leveraging their success to do good. Googling part of that quote led me to a blog that references the uniqueness of Google's SEC filing. The Google Foundation is referenced, and Google's job page now mentions that they are looking to fill the position of Executive Director for the Google Foundation. So, expect Good Things(TM) (like saving 3-legged kittens) from Google soon."
just needed one of these damn things to say I did...
"The internet is a great way to get on the net." - Bob Dole
Why do three-legged kittens need saving from google? What the hell are they doing with three-legged kittens?
Oh.
It was just a misplaced modifier. Whew.

"Just becuase you can't see yourself ever selflessly doing something good for a community"
WTF?
Do you actually know me or what I do for my community?
No!
