The Green Search Engine

January 20, 2008

This is one of the reasons why I personally like Google so much more than the others. It is not because of its many gadgets or its huge popularity, or that they are becoming the monolith that Microsoft has become. Very simply I appreciate a big huge company like Google with scruples – yes, a ton of money garnered from the society with which we live, doing smart things i.e. Google.org.

This past week Google announced that its charity organization (Google.org) will be working on five different initiatives to “combat climate change, global poverty and emerging threats such as pandemic disease.” While the news is being received well by many individuals who are glad that Google is stepping it up a notch, others are obviously skeptical of the approach. Take it for what it is, a genuine human gesture.

In this ever changing political season, when you hear things about big corporations and their fat cat CEOs making millions and billions, its really refreshing to see a large corporation like Google actually get it and with any luck if we learn something good from this, all the better.

This is really a blessing of humanity that arch rivals Microsoft and Google do have a same goal – to help mankind.

Thanks Google!
