Go go Google team!

Everything I post is based on rumors, unsubstansiated facts and things floating in my brain so take it with a pinch of salt. Its usually based on some sort fact at some point so make of it what you will.


So I heard that google employees have ten percent of their time to work on their own projects. Now from what I can make out you have to spend your time doing something for google but that can be almost anything, from improving the colour scheme of the bathrooms or developing a new product you would like to see. Now I assume that at google they have the internet on their computers and that meens when you are bored and no one's watching you could be doing what you want on the net, writing a blog for example. Give the employees a chance to do what they want within the company and they will probably spend the time that they would be avoiding work (probably about ten percent), doing something useful for the company. So probably a clever move from the google people.

Also take a look at Google techtalks, could be interesting....
