google, crumbling cookies and politics
Friday, January 11th, 2008Ken Auletta’s article on Google in this past week’s issue of The New Yorker is worth a read for a couple of reasons:
- It goes into depth about Google’s increasing involvement with politics (net neutrality, lobbying, etc.)
- It talks about an elegant concept of “crumbling cookies” that Google has been experimenting with in response to an increased concern regarding privacy and longevity of personal data online.
- It gives an inside view on how Sergey, Larry and Eric work together to drive the corporate strategy for Google
