Google Talks - a Google perk we can all use
« on: November 05, 2007, 09:08 PM »
(I came across this on the Wisebread.com blog and am passing it along)

This resource is called <a href="http://www.youtube.com/atgoogletalks">Google Talks</a> and it contains over 170 fascinating lectures, given to the very lucky and privileged Google staff, most around 1 hour long. Google Talks is a a whole repository of in-depth, wonderful lectures from some of the finest minds in writing, news, acting, politics, science, cuisine, music and more.

More information at the original article at <a href="http://www.wisebread.com/a-google-employee-perk-we-can-all-get-free">Wisebread.com</a>;

What a wonderful perk to provide for their employees. I love that fact that they bring in speakers who have expertise in, and speak about, a range of disciplines many of them not computer-focused. Really impressive and like justice I almost wish I worked for them. Fortunately, though, I work for a college that brings in some pretty amazing speakers, too!

Interesting - the Yahoo offerings are far more heavily weighted toward computer and sofltware development compared to the Google offerings.
