I've read two posts today, both of which are concerned with Google. One of them must have been around on the web for long but i am not informed of it until today. I read it from KDnet, It is ten things google finds to be true:
The other post that interests me today is from dougbelshaw, He mentioned a wiki entry at wikispace that is intended to collect the questions to be asked by educators in U.K. in a forthcoming interview with a member of the Google Education Apps. At present, Google Education Apps are available for free for the educators in U.S, and this interview can be seen as a gesture that the UK educators will have a similar privilege to get the service pretty soon.
Some of the questions are exactly the ones I would ask Google:
After reading questions, i have the sense that my colleagues in U.K. are far more fortunate than those in China, since they can appreciate the operation of google's phisophy without needing to worry some of the google services can not be accessed, which is exactly what's taking place in China.
If there is an interview between google apps team and chinese educators, I may ask these questions:
how can google improve its public relation with chinese government so that more people will appreciate the services that google provides for educators?

I guess some of them are not attributable to google since they are self-evident for all of us, like quick is better than slow. but what makes google great is that it knows which philosophy can help it to make money. 2. It's best to do one thing really, really well.
