announced that Dr. Larry Brilliant from
Megan Smith will be taking over as General Manager at Google.org. Brilliant also says Google will be putting more engineers and technical talent to work on issues. Could the move really be a way to both consolidate operations and look good doing it? This is the thinking of some bloggers, anyway.
"I wonder if this closer alignment between business aims and philanthropic ones couldn't also be seen as an anti-recessionary measure,"
Not a bad point.
"By putting the wildly popular Brilliant out on the road more as a brand evangelist, adding to Smith's job description, and tapping more Googlers' 20% time for do-gooder projects, Google gets to shine its image and build its business at the same time for less cash. Good thinking!" says Kamenetz.
Doing more good for less money can't be a bad thing. Interesting projects Google.org has been involved with include RechargeIT, PowerMeter.
