Google.org: I was totally unaware of this.

Welcome to Google.org — the philanthropic arm of Google

Google.org includes the work of the Google Foundation, some of Google’s own projects using Google talent, technology and other resources, as well as partnerships and contributions to for-profit and non-profit entities. While we continue to define the goals, priorities and approach for Google.org, we will focus on several areas including global poverty, energy and the environment.

It’s in the news again today because they just appointed a doctor to head it up.

Dr. Brilliant! Man, I wish I had that name.

We are excited to announce the appointment of Larry Brilliant as executive director of Google.org. Google is extremely fortunate to have found in Dr. Brilliant the combination of experience in building and scaling successful programs and ventures in the fields of medicine, philanthropy and technology. His passion for making an impact by tackling some of the most difficult international health issues facing humanity is exactly what we hope he will bring to bear as he helps shape Google’s philanthropic mission and strategic goals.

I wonder if this is the same Dr. that put Guinness into bottles?

Brilliant!
