Google Worship Soars on Company's 10th Birthday
Here's a roundup of stories paying homage to Google in honor of the company's 10th birthday:
A Los Angeles Times Q&A features Marissa Mayer—Google's first female engineer—who talks about what the company will look like at 20. (She says it's looking at new ways to deploy ads and exploring paid services.)
In "The World's Most Powerful 10-Year-Old," the Associated Press includes a photo of Google's first employee, technology director Craig Silverstein, blissed out on a beanbag chair.
And the San Francisco Chronicle muses about Google's knack for "simultaneously striking fear and admiration in competitors while making information infinitely more accessible to hundreds of millions of people."
Meanwhile, a story on PCWorld.com, "At 10-Year Mark, Google's Glossy Facade Shows Cracks," analyzes how the company is dealing with the transition "from hip startup to corporate giant."

Innovation at Google: Q&A with Marissa Mayer
Katy, that's a good round up, thanks for posting it.
I had a chance to conduct a one-on-one in person interview with Marissa last year, focused on innovation, new product development and more. The 90 minute interview was filmed before a live audience, and I've published excerpts on my blog.
I believe that if you want to model a company that does a great job with product management, Google is a worthy company to study.
Here's a link if you're interested in reading how Google evaluates and screens new ideas and products.
