You know the claim that you need to keep founders around because they know how to take risks and rethink your basic corporate assumptions?

My opinion is that Larry and Sergei demonstrate that strength in spades at Google. Just look at the initiatives that they are pushing right now.



(When you post about Google articles I think you guys should remind people that (AFAIK) that you work there.)


I figured that was implied because (hopefully) nobody else would know about Instant when it was in the prototype stage. Plus the whole "that I work in..." part of the quote.


I guess so. btilly didn't mention it implicitly or otherwise. I still think it's generally right to make it explicit.


No, I didn't. But I also don't think it is that material to what I said. If I thought it mattered, I would have said it.

In retrospective it would have made sense to have said it. But I'm not going to worry too much about it.
