Week 7 Readings - Brin and Page Interview

I enjoyed this video--Brin and Page are obviously both smart and funny, and creative people. Google must be a really fun place to work! I'm not surprised that they went to Montessori school; they follow concepts where they naturally go and are willing to let their people work that way.

I like the way they change something if they don't like it. So many organizations are so rigid that the kind of innovtion they practice is stifled.

Google is an amazing place to work - I have two friends at different offices and the most amazing part (ignoring the fact that the food is plentiful, delicious, and free) is that they really really encourage innovation. So many amazing programs have been developed thanks to their 20% rule.
