Official Google Blog: Let’s get together
Online groups have become a great tool for managing and sharing activities and ideas for a defined group of people. Back in October we introduced a new version of Google Groups (in beta) in the hopes that it would help people work together better. We received tons of feedback, and today we’re dropping the “beta” and unveiling a number of new features in more than a dozen languages. If you’re already in a Google Group, you’ll be transitioned automatically, and if you’re new to a group, welcome!
The only thing I don’t like about the new Google Groups is that it’s not as easy to find “my starred topics”. They’re under the less explicitly labeled “favorites”.

Official Google Blog: Our New York speaker series
Google New York is sponsoring a speaker series that will bring technology industry leaders in to our offices to share their unique perspectives. Speakers will come from Google and beyond to cover topics ranging from the history of software development to the future of the Internet. With this series, we hope to create a collegial atmosphere where members of the technical community can learn from and get to know one another.
To start the year off, you’re invited to a talk called “Physics, Speed, and Imprecision: What Works and What Doesn’t in Software, and Why,” given by our very own Adam Bosworth on Monday, January 29th.
Over beer and wine, Adam will discuss why machine learning and natural language seem to work today when they didn’t in the 90s, and why Ajax is successful now when it wasn’t earlier. The reasons lie in the realm of physics and customer psychology, particularly in our need for speed and limited tolerance for imprecision.
Living here in Ann Arbor, it’s intriguing and also somewhat frustrating to watch other regional Google offices like Santa Monica and Kirkland position themselves as cool places to work.
So far all Google Ann Arbor is doing is posting jobs for print scanners, call center staff, and, groan, five different types of recruiter. Will there ever be a Google Ann Arbor speaker series?
