Information Madness

You may remember Google's initiative of 10 million funding for an Idea that was launched in late 2008. Google started this new project called Project 10^100 (pronounced as Project 10 to the 100). This project was call for ideas to change the world by helping as many people as possible. Its almost a year and the many felt that it went into cold water.

Community built sites like Project10tothe100now.org to bring awareness in people and let Google know that community is waiting for its 10 million dollar. Finally, Google has taken a step further for this Project10tothe100.

Thousands of people from more than 170 countries submitted more than 150,000 ideas, from general investment suggestions to specific implementation proposals. Google has combined best aspects of those individual proposals and come up with innovative approaches to solving some very pressing problems.

Google came up with 16 "big ideas," each inspired by numerous individual submissions and now wants community to vote on the best.  Our vote for one of these ideas will help Google's advisory board choose up to 5 projects to fund, at which point Google will launch an RFP process to identify the organization(s) that are best suited to implementing them.

So if you want to vote for your favorite project, head to project10tothe100.com and start voting.
