Google executive running for Vermont governor
According to Business Week, Google executive Matt Dunne is running for governor of Vermont. He says he wants to import Google’s culture of being organizationally flat, fast and innovative into state government.
How fair is this? Being an executive at this internet giant and running for governor.
Google, without any doubt, is the dominator of the internet.
Google controls the biggest portion of the internet search and can easily manipulate the results. Everybody is familiar with their doodles to drive traffic the various topics on special occasions. Google also controls the biggest portion of online advertising.
These are very big powers to control and Google has it all. Now, someone from the top is running for politics. This is a very familiar Spiderman scenario. The question is, “Is the guy who has all the powers a good man or a bad man?”
