Anyone want shares in google?
 

Re: Anyone want shares in google?
 

I'm hoping that I'll get some shares given to me as I work for them.
They've already given me loads of stuff in the past, such as a Google sheepskin blanket (worth $$$! :D), Orkut and GMail accounts.

If not, I'll buy some anyway.

How did you wangle that easy life then Richard ?
:D

Re: Anyone want shares in google?
 

Simple really.
I have been a big fan of Google since they started years ago and I am a subscriber to the Google Friends newsletter.
A couple of years ago, they posted a message to this stating that they were looking for researchers for a new project called "Google Answers".
I applied to join and after a series of incredibly difficult tests, I was accepted into the program.

I mainly do the research in the summer, getting up very early in the morning while the US is still asleep so I can get the good projects before the other researchers.
It's very enjoyable work and it feels good being a part of Google.
Plus, we get lots of free stuff, like the quality blanket for GA's 1st birthday last year. :)
The only problem right now is the bad exchange rate because I get paid in dollars but I'm sure that'll sort itself out...

Well - i wouldnt buy any i imagine in a few years the web will work in a new way and we wont need google - also lately google has been getting worse as more and more people spoof it people like amazon and some other online sellers have teams of people spoofing it all day :( - another reason i wouldnt get it is because ms is looking at the search engine business in a serious manor and as teh rest of the world runs of their software its probably wise we use their browser/search engine..

of course google could make a new internet and ms have to follow them but i know who my moneys on regardless of my hate for ms they make it easy.

Isnt that bad pay? I have seen the amount people offer, you would have to do a lot of work. And you allowed to only do it in the summer?! Pretty sweet!

As for the google friends thing I applied for the newsletter way over a month ago and have not received one!

How do you actually buy shares?

Re: Anyone want shares in google?
 

They pay $2-$200 per answer.
And no, I choose to do it in the summer, I could work through the winter if I wanted to - there are no silly rules like that. ;)
