If the intention here is to communicate to people that giant corporations like Google will actually listen to people who have ideas that will make them money, who bloody-well cares? The only reason not to do so could only result from Google believing it has reached its quota of geniuses, rendering its precious time too invaluable to waste on average human beings. Oh, how gracious of them. Not doing this more often or providing easier access for people to do so could only serve to restrict Google's growth. The company comes across to me here as some kind of impenetrable fortress that for whatever reason allowed one oh-so-privileged dork to squeeze through a crack in its wall. I'm happy for the guy but what's all the hype about really? A company took the time to listen to someone share an idea that will end up making them more money. Wow. Stop the presses. Any business that isn't open to pitches deserves to fail. My response to this silly story is a big so what?

But it's sickening at the same time. What has he really done to earn that attention? Personally, I'd rather just wait until whatever thing the coy boy is working on sees the light of day, instead of guessing what he's up to. -Erik I guess what is interesting here is that this guy’s approach to getting attention from Google (and 10zm readers) actually works.
