Project ‘10^100’ from Google receives overwhelming response
October 31, 2008The deadline for people to submit their ideas for the Google initiative, termed Project ‘10^100’ expired in the third week of October, and the response has been overwhelming, according to the technology giant. A call given by Google for beneficial, innovative ideas has been responded to by over 150,000 people.
Google employees will now be sifting through the ideas that have been submitted in 25 different languages. They will now choose the semi-finalists - 100 of them - by January 27, 2009. Funding for five winning ideas will be declared in May.
“We are thrilled by the wide array of enthusiastic responses to our project. That number has indeed exceeded our expectations,” stated product marketing manager at Google, Bethany Poole.
Google launched this ambitious project in September as part of the celebrations of its 10th birthday. In announcing the Project (pronounced ‘10 to the 100th’), the internet firm hoped to solicit and bring to the fore fresh ideas that it believes will have broad beneficial effects on our lives. The project’s website suggested successful ideas are those addressing critical issues like building communities, providing food and shelter, granting better access to education, improving health and promoting clean energy.
