Google Names Head Of Philanthropy
By: Andy Beal
According to the WSJ, Google has named 61 year old Larry Brilliant to head-up their Google.org philanthropic group.
The Web search company has pledged 1% of its annual profit and 1% of its stock, currently valued at around $1 billion, to Google.org. Dr. Brilliant's current activities include serving as a director of the Seva Foundation in Berkeley, Calif., which he founded in 1979 to combat blindness in the developing world.
Interesting reason why Dr. Brilliant became interested in the post...
Dr. Brilliant said Google's motto, "Don't be evil," is what brought him to the company. "It's very hard to find another company that starts out on a conscious path to do good and not do evil," he said.
LOL. Of course, every other company starts out on the path of evil. ;-)
