Really looking forward to my trip to London next month to hook up with some clients – even moreso as I’m having lunch at Google’s HQ. Ever heard of the Google 15? Apparently Google employees put on 15 pounds of weight within a couple of months of working there as the canteens are so good. Bring it on.
On the whole it’s been a tough 12 months on the PR front for this $200billion dollar advertising company. Check out this clip:
I guess it’s all in the presentation but when you watch what Google’s achieved from this perspective, it’s hard to avoid cynicism. That said, maybe it’s got a lot to do with being both innovative and a bit of a show-off. Whether it’s some good old fashioned [intlink id="261" type="post"]Murdoch-baiting[/intlink], to developing [intlink id="317" type="post"]mobile phones[/intlink] or even just the [intlink id="77" type="post"]occasional invasion of privacy[/intlink], Google get the headlines…good or evil.
When I’m there next month I’ll do my best to find that special elevator that takes you straight down to Gomorrah…pretty sure Rupert Murdoch will have one too…who would you rather give your details to? Rupert or Sergey?
