Google's 10th Birthday! "Project 10 to the 100th" May Those Who Help The Most Win

[tattoos]

Damn, that 10 years went quick

And they are celebrating with a competition.

Here are the categories in which we'll be considering ideas.

* Community: How can we help connect people, build communities and protect unique cultures?
* Opportunity: How can we help people better provide for themselves and their families?
* Energy: How can we help move the world toward safe, clean, inexpensive energy?
* Environment: How can we help promote a cleaner and more sustainable global ecosystem?
* Health: How can we help individuals lead longer, healthier lives?
* Education: How can we help more people get more access to better education?
* Shelter: How can we help ensure that everyone has a safe place to live?
* Everything else: Sometimes the best ideas don't fit into any category at all.

Submission Deadline:
October 20th, 2008

nice ideea from them

Q: What do I get if my idea is chosen?
A: You get good karma and the satisfaction of knowing that your idea might truly help a lot of people.

c'mon....not even a dollar, or a chance to meet or visit the Google HQ.

Money = everywhere / a common thing / paper-made

Idea = only in your mind / unique / success-driven

I'll give the people at Google 10 mil. dollars and all I want in return is for them to have a brainstorm and to give me complete rights over the idea resulted from that brainstorming.

I'm 101% sure that they won't agree with that.

Without an idea to sustain the initial search algorithm (the "BackRub" concept), Google would be 0.

Well if good karma and satisfaction is not quite enough, then maybe the winner/winners could ask for some recognition in the way of a link from the G (but I somehow doubt that would happen)

Yes it is a nice idea, and a nice concept, everybody does the brainstorming and they put up the cash to make the idea a reality.
