"I don't know how to find qualified people and can't tell a brilliant genius from a no-talent ass clown. Hmmmm... what to do, what to do. Hey, wait a minute, people keep saying this "Google" place has smart people. Well gosh, they must have figured this stuff out. I know! I'll just hire Google employees, since I don't have any other clue about what to do. Hurray, my talent problem is solved!"

it's a good place to source A talent from, but as with any big organization they have people who are good & bad, smart & dumb. Interviewing and identifying A talent vs B talent is a different skill set, but a needed one in order to build a successful company.

This post was more focusing on how to source all types of talent from a big organization like Google.

You could also replace "Google" with any company, college, or incubator with a reputation for being difficult and you have the dilemma that plagues the current workforce. No one can determine who is "qualified", and no one is willing to train people to be "qualified".

Surely more Google employees have read this from here than from the window.

A quote once used to motivate a team that would build a product which would change the face of computing forever, now repurposed to get people to think on how to get other people to click on ads...

Oh I love you Silicon Valley :)

Actually, our pirates are not solving a problem of how to get more people to click on ads, but rather how to create a better way for users to engage with video on sites, Facebook, mobile phones and how for developers to better integrate it with their properties without hindering user experience.

Yes, we are not introducing a Radio, TV or Computer. But surely the quality of content and success of each platform has been guaranteed by powerful monetization efforts. In the case of TV, Radio, NewsPaper - it was advertisement. We want to help developers better monetize their properties, so that they can provide richer, more valuable content to the end user. We too hate intrusive advertisement and we too have ad-block installed. For this reason, we realize that someone ought to find a better solution. That's where Virool comes in.

ha, viral tactics as usual? love it. good luck landing the G-hires
