    I’ve missed a few points in replicating my essay but it goes something like this…When are the winners gonna be out?

    The 20 words-
    Analyze practical imagine, inquisitive,horse sense, weird , absurd , change , direction , luck , observation , energy , know, give up , Eureka , Experiment , impossible , create , out-of-the-box , phenomena

    ‘If you were to analyze, the most number of inventions have occurred in the recent millennium. It’s no longer any practical necessity, but simply a keenness to imagine, to be inquisitive, to hazard an experiment… that leads an enterpriser towards a Eureka moment.

    Nothing seems impossible to create anymore. Going by trends, the more out-of-the-box the ideas, the higher the chance of them growing into phenomena. Just think silicon implants!

    Does it take rudimentary horse-sense to surface a groundbreaking idea on human behavior? Perhaps a weird sense of the absurd to conceive something that would change the direction of technology? Or just plain luck coupled with keen observation and energy to change fortunes.

    I know for sure this age is ripe for the wannabe inventor. You can’t give up unless you’ve triggered every spark of ingenuity inside of you. So go ahead, think innovation. Think Google.’

    Is it really Google or is it some third agency, who had cornered the contract to evaluate the writings? and then unable to excute the same.

    There is a sense of Deja Vu, remember what happens in Meerut? 13-14 yrs old, Fifth standard students checking PG Papers?

    Who is to say about the actual picture, Google is not forthcoming with the truth.

    Dear all,
    Its quite perplexing that Google has not yet declared its GWM winners. I think it was some publicity stunt and we all have been goooooogled!!!!!

    So, My Hunch seems to be correct after all?

    I strongly feel that the much publicized event was actually an exercise to test the waters, maybe to retain people for some superBlog or to present relevant, human edited content - in the lines of askme.com, about.com, wikipedia.com et al.

    It was totally outsourced job and the 3rd agency goofed up.

    The Proofs of Goof-ups are many-
    1. The invitations for the test were not very effectively communicated.

    2. It was presented basically as an intro to Google’s various ventures and not actually as a contest attracting Talent.

    3. Arrangements for the test involving people to generate IT Bytes using language were pathetic, to say the least. I am sure many people must have felt uneasy using pen paper, instead of a PC (at least I Did).

    4. India is not very high on the Google’s agenda, then why this contest was held here only?

    5. At some places, Contestants were given 60 Minutes and elsewhere just 45 Minutes. They organizers did not even have a clear-cut policy?

    6. Even the Logo on Goodies Bag was somewhat different, meaning it was second grade job conceived, and executed locally, by equally proficient dumbos.

    Manjit: I guess they didn’t make the results public, The winners must have been contacted privately, but still is it morally correct to do so ?

    I have no doubt regarding Google Logo, they look to be authentic, but it was just a public stunt by Google.

    And we wasted lots of our useful time on it (I’m ashamed of myself)
