10tothe100 is Google’s new initiative. The idea: come up with an idea for helping as many people as possible. Submit the idea to Google by Oct 20th. People will then start voting on the ideas, narrow them down to five.
And Google will spend 10 million on making those ideas work.
I love Google because they do shit like this. They put bounties on things. “Hey, write applications for our new phone operating system; the best few will get fifty-thousand dollars.” Harness the glorious market for win-win. Lovely.
Well, all you guys who figure that the universe could be put in order if only somebody would listen to you, here’s your chance.
