Sankar, Thilak

If you can send me an invite to Jotspot, I’d be much obliged. Have recognized that my engineering knowledge bases need to be in wiki, not blog format.

Thanks
Brandon

Sankar: The original Google corporate motto was “Don’t be evil”. Later, faced with the difficult choices that inevitably arise when running an international, multibillion dollar where morality is often the choice between subtle shades of gray, instead of black and white, Google decided to change the corporate motto to “Try not to be evil if you can help it, but sometimes none of your choices are good, so you just have to do the least evil thing in a given situation.”

As Google continued to expand and the money continued to roll in, the motto was again changed, to “Exactly how evil are we talking about here… and how much money is going to be involved?”; soon afterwards the corporate motto became, “Good, evil, it’s all kind of a matter of perspective, I think”, then, “You know, I think evil has kind of gotten a bit of a bad rap”, then “Hey, this evil thing is actually pretty fun,”, next “I (heart) evil”, followed by “MWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!”.

Finally, the Google motto was changed to “Puny mortal! Kneel before Google! We will consume your wretched soul and then you shall experience an eternity of ultimate darkness and agonized suffering as demons with unspeakable names gnaw upon your eyelids in the timeless dark crypt of the Great Old One Cthulhu!”. On the T-shirts, this is usually shortened to “Don’t be Cthulhu”.

wow..even google have their own calendar and so on, they still want to buy another web.

Same happens to yourtube before.

But i think they actually don’t really excited with those functionality (they can built their own right?) but they want to have some publicity.

I smell some BS here – it feels like Google is going to do to JotSpot what it did to Writely – kill a lot of functionality and design, and make it their own (i.e. Google Docs & Spreadsheets, maybe Google Collab or something)

Google is becoming evil.
