Why Google Santa Monica when you could work for Google Ann Arbor?

Official Google Blog: We made the list

The Santa Monica office is a small but growing enclave with +200 Googlers. We’re a close-knit bunch, enjoying company-sponsored happy hours every week at different Santa Monica hotspots plus several other non-work functions. What’s great about working in Santa Monica is the opportunity to really make a big splash in the “sea of Google” with lots of visibility at all levels of the company. We work on projects ranging from customer-facing ad systems to Picasa to Google Video to the Google Search Appliance, and more.

Why indeed? I hope the Ann Arbor office follows this model and becomes more than just an Adwords call farm.
