Google a dat drumul la votarea celei mai bune idei pentru schimbarea lumii
0
Dupa ce au fost coplesiti de 150,000 de idei in 25 de limbi despre cum sa schimbe lumea , Google Inc. alege cei 16 finalisti pentru proiectul lor : Competitia „10^100”.
Proiectul a fost deschis in Septembrie 2008 pentr a celebra cea de-a 10a aniversare a companiei, avand la baza ideea de a schimba lumea ajutand cat mai multi oameni cu putinta. Castigatorul si in acelasi timp proiectul ales va beneficia de 10 milioane de dolari pentru a deveni realitate.
Inregistrarea participantilor a inceput in luna Octombrie anul trecut, iar o lista a participantilor ar fi trebuit sa apara in Januarie. Datorita numarului mare de particpanti , lista a intarziat sa apara.
„We hoped to capture the imagination of people around the world and offer a way to bring their best ideas to fruition.We were overwhelmed by the response. You sent us more than 150,000 ideas (approximately 10^5.2) in more than 25 languages and it took more than 3,000 Googlers in offices around the world to review the submissions.”
, au scris cei din echipa Project 10^100.
Acum lista finalistilor a aparut. Echipa a notat pe blogul ei ca exista atat de multe idei ce impartasesc aceleasi idei de baza si, in loc sa aleaga idei separate, acestea le`au impartit pe teme si pe tinte ce trebuie atinse.

„It has been a long road for those of us who have worked on this from the beginning,” the team wrote. „Although it took a lot longer than we first planned, we’re pleased with the outcome…. We enjoyed going through so many interesting proposals and adapted to the massive volume of ideas.”
