Google Investors Find New Project

Greg Linden writes:"According to ZDNet, the investors behind Google are at it again. John Doerr and Ram Shriram are investing in Zazzle, a company targeting mass customization by allowing shoppers and store owners to create individually tailored clothes, prints, and other items. For example, customers can choose an image from a large image library, design a T-shirt using the image with online tools, and then have the T-shirt delivered to them. Lands' End, CafePress, and other online clothing stores offer similar mass customization services on a small scale, but Doerr clearly believes that there is a substantial opportunity 'for every individual who wants to create products that are as unique as they are.'"

What about Froogle?

Aside from the looks, how does Zazzle differ from what Google already has?

We have a better idea!

A colleague (well okay, a mate) and I have tried several times to get one of our development ideas to Google. It's a project that's just righ for Google and would dazzle Zazzle to a frazzle, it's an idea that's worth billions in turnover per year - and because Google seems to be full of dopey robots, we haven't had a response on even ONE of our dozen emails to any address we could find that seemed about right.

Is there some secret to getting a very good concept to the right ears in Google? Has anyone ever reached someone in R&D there? Because, the concept we have, will not work for any company lesser than Google. It might work for the MS Empire but it's such a cash cow that my colleague and I decided long ago that it couldn't go there. If anyone loves Google and knows a way to get our idea to someone in that there company we'd be stoked... Sorry this is probably OT but I really want to know how to get in contact, we can take it from there...
