Google.org Does Good Deeds, Tries To Make Money

[DougC]

The "philanthropic arm of Google" got a PR boost when its executive director sat down for an interview with The New York Times. Judging from his remarks, it looks like they've got the right idea at Google.org. Read more here.

Nice post Doug,

I always ask myself when I see a "rich" company, just what are they doing philanthropically.

Following your post I went to Google's Philinthropic Site. It looks like they are doing some good things there.

As with most "American Born", I also look to see what they are doing at home, right in their own backyard. We have a lot of needs here on American soil.

I believe a lot of American visitors would like to see that some of the profits are at work domestically. Balancing the "Portfolio"/Site between domestic and foreign endeavors can even cause contributions to go up.

I'd rather see a more balanced profile at google.org, but that's just my opinion.
