InfoWorld: The Google way: February 20, 2004: By Chad Dickerson: E-business Strategies
InfoWorld: The Google way: February 20, 2004: By Chad Dickerson: E-business Strategies: "Quite simply, the Google philosophy can be expressed in five general principles: Work on things that matter, affect everyone in the world, solve problems with algorithms if possible, hire bright people and give them lots of freedom, and don’t be afraid to try new things. As a general practice, Google also requires that its engineers spend 20 percent of their time working on personal technology projects unrelated to their primary projects....
Finally, I think hiring bright people and giving them freedom is a required element of an innovative organization, one that implicitly supports trying new things. The 20 percent personal projects requirement is not unfounded: It�s really an implementation of the organizational �slack� that Tom DeMarco details in his book Slack: Getting Past Burnout, Busywork and the Myth of Total Efficiency. An IT organization running at full throttle all the time is ultimately self-defeating � take it from Google"

Future search
ResourceShelf: "'One thing [Google's Craig] Silverstein does like to talk about is his long-range goal for search technology, which he believes is still in its infancy. 'It's clear that the answer [to search] is not a ranked list of Web sites,' he says. No one expects to approach a librarian, ask a question about the Panama Canal, and get 50 book titles in response, he argues. Silverstein thinks information retrieval experts should aim high, building software that is every bit as good at pointing users toward the specific resources they need as a well-trained reference librarian.'"
Update Brandy Part 3 - Googleguy says...
Update Brandy Part 3: "People post around here about filters, blocking, penalties, etc. etc. A far better explanation is 'things which used to work before don't receive the same amount of credit now.' It's natural for people who are way out there with their linking strategies or their page-building strategies to think of a drop as an over-optimization penalty, but it's more realistic to conclude that Google is weighting criteria differently so that over-optimized sites just aren't doing as well now.
