  • TGIF is Google's weekly all-staff meeting. This video was shot in December, 1999 and gives a feel for how the meetings ran for the first year or so. For more on Google's early days, read my book (available 7/12/11): amzn.to/i3VA4v

      Vatsal Singh: you're another indian who admires American billionaires as if they give a damn about India's difficulties. No wonder you arseholes elected the fascist Modi as leader of your nation who did the Gujerat riots.

      Kissing the backside of billionaires will not going make your country rich, if anything, because they're economic terrorists - they will impoverish your country even more.

    I am employee # 33 and the lucky person who cleaned up all that silly string and the party remnants (huge mess) left behind from that TGIF.
    Random tid bit: Silly string is very difficult to remove from a plastic ball when it has been given the time to completely dry. It takes warm water, paper towels and *time*. Which is why we had several balls with silly string on them for years. Literally...
    Doug - thank you. You've given me goosebumps.

    My first time actually watching and listening to them. From all the worship of them, I expected more impressive voices and ability to speak in public more clearly. If they had taken a regular corporate route, they would not have become CEOs! This should give everyone who doubts themselves confidence, that substance is more important than style! :-)
