...or rather, help people change the world.

http://www.project10tothe100.com/index.html

Sounds like they're taking ideas from now until October 20, cover them in Google magic until January, when some sort of voting will occur.

They're dedicating 10 million to some of the ideas.

1. Send us your idea by October 20th.
Simply fill out the submission form giving us the gist of your idea. You can supplement your proposal with a 30-second video.

2. Voting on ideas begins on January 27th.
We'll post a selection of one hundred ideas and ask you, the public, to choose twenty semi-finalists. Then an advisory board will select up to five final ideas. Send me a reminder to vote.

3. We'll help bring these ideas to life.
We're committing $10 million to implement these projects, and our goal is to help as many people as possible. So remember, money may provide a jumpstart, but the idea is the thing.

Consider me interested and intrigued. This is pretty huge for something open to the public.

Impressed once again by this company

Beaulieu · Sep 25, 2008

That is really cool.

But I suck at having ideas.

NZNova · Sep 25, 2008

Great idea.

But Google is Evil!!

SUPREME1 · Sep 25, 2008

Google is definitely on the side of good.

SnakeXs · Sep 26, 2008

Come on!

More people have to care about this.

Google's New World Order commencing....?

kevm3 · Sep 26, 2008

This should be an ongoing thing... much longer than october.

Night_Trekker · Sep 26, 2008

I'm not falling for it. They're trying to gain our trust so we don't see it coming...

btkadams · Sep 26, 2008

if any company is to own the world and have a monopoly in the computer industry, namely the OS part of the computer industry..... I WANT IT TO BE GOOGLE

Always-honest · Sep 26, 2008

What do you mean why?

I was pointing out that I'd be stunned if more people weren't interested in this initiative. I can't see what's not to be excited about.

Aegus · Sep 26, 2008

I imagine Google to be like "Friend" from the 20th Century Boys manga.

That Chromo browser is actually converting components of your PC into some sort of acid to be sprayed in your face. If you have a webcam it gets sprayed right into your eyes.

bafflewaffle · Sep 26, 2008

I'm not giving them my awesome world-saving ideas for free.

jts · Sep 26, 2008

I just had this idea.

If we grease the floor well enough we should be able to reduce the friction between us and the earth to the point that its own rotation will take away the land from our feet; thus we'll be travelling from A to B without moving and without wasting energy.

what do ya think gaf

"From the eternal sea he rises..."

Can a company be considered a "he"?
Can the internet be considered an "eternal sea"?

A great initiative, but I still don't trust Google.

I dunno... Only an evil company would have the motto 'Don't be evil'

speedpop · Sep 26, 2008

Hrm. It's nice to see a company such as Google do something like this, but how many ideas will forever remain just that?

The answer is "less than if Google hadn't done this."

Good old Google. Seems like a really good idea, but if they really want the internet's help they have to somehow give people an excuse to wear Guy Fawkes masks.

Baron Doggystyle von Woof · Sep 26, 2008

google should start it's own country, i sure would live in it.

Cauliflower of Love · Sep 26, 2008

Everyone recommend that google lend the goverment money.

AVclub · Sep 26, 2008

A friend of mine already has been using the name 10100.org for a long time. Seems Google took HIS idea.

Edit: Apparently they aren't happy about it, either. :lol http://www.10100.org/?p=1451

Google is actually doing something useful with the name, and your friend is...umm..blogging.

Yeah, I'm with Google on this one.

Yes. Among them is Google Apps, which is awesome for small businesses.

There's also a premium version of Google Earth, but I'm not sure what features it offers over the free version.
