“a Google mother”, no please. But big G was not the great brother?
The unique thing worse than that is have a big G mother…

I think your just a tiny bit jealous. No I do find it kind of weird but I have never worked for a place with that type of work atmosphere. To me it seems kind of cult like. I’m sure that Google has done multiple studies on orginizational behvaior and tailored their practices accordingly.

Scooters can be terribly dangerous, it’s just that they are only in the hands of idiots and that part of the legend doesn’t fit.

Hi Avinash,

Thanks for the insights… I assumed the scooters were not really that dangerous.
I will be excited to visit the office in April (during the Web 2.0 conference).

Sebastian:

To the best of my knowledge the scooters crashing is yet another urban legend about Google. : )

Most Googlers actually ride bikes around the campus, and the abundant traffic signals (some added not too long ago) help. And you can imagine the exercise comes in handy as well.

Thanks for adding your perspective to the conversation!
