Google just turned 10. To celebrate, comes a cool idea, Project 10^100, where you can submit your ideas on how to help others around the world.

The annual Google Zeitgeist conference has come and gone. Luckily, we’re left with some fantastic videos from the conference that are worth watching:

• Clay Shirky’s talk on the role of inconvenience in designing social systems – with a great example of how technology has made some things overt (like a change in relationship status) that were once not easily found by your larger group of friends and how that changes the social interactions we have.
• Hans Rosling of Gapminder.org showing some great data visualizations.
• A fun demo from Charles Huang from Guitar Hero – oh how I want one of those!

More videos can be viewed from the Zeitgeist Conference on the Google Zeitgeist Channel.
