  Google.org's Great Move

  Nathaniel
  
  Embarassed to say I have just come across your blog for the first time--very impressive and attractively done!
  
  I have seen too many organisations drift away from their core competence only to regret it.  That Google.org is recognising this is to their credit.  There is plenty of good they can do in their area of core expertise and, as you say, if we notice it is all self serving, we can say so.  As ever with stories like this, there is surely more to the iceberg than lies above the surface, but what outsider can really say what has happened.  
  
  I think this also relates to the issue called "philanthrocapitalism", where it is suggested that rich folks have expertise that can be applied to many of societies problems, just because they have somehow made some money.  I have written two posts in our Social Business Blog (www.socialinvestments.com/sbblog/) which address this.  I would welcome any feedback.
  
  Looking forward to reading more of your blog in the future.
