More Google

On Friday, I went to my first TGIF meeting with the founders of the company, Larry and Sergey. At the end, they took questions, so of course, I asked one. It was beyond cool to talk to the guys who have sort of been my heroes for the last several years. Then today, I got to sit down with Amit Singhal, a Google Fellow in charge of search quality and Cornell alumnus. (He was recently featured in the NYT article about Google.) Google Fellows are Google's top tier engineers; there are only five of them in the entire company, one of whom is widely haled as the Father of the Internet. Amit spoke at Cornell last year, so I figured I'd follow up with him. He seemed really cool, although I couldn't get much information out of him about what he actually does. Oh well, I understand how top secret that stuff is. Still cool to meet him.
