Somehow this reminds me of little boys who build a tree house and invite only those who are “cool enough.” Just make sure that it’s between us okay. Don’t tell the other boys in the neighborhood. Now let me show you my new Transformer toy.
Well, Google have every right to set the policies on any “customer innovation forum” but I find it foolish of them to invite journalists and keep it a secret. The skeptic side of me thinks that this is just a ploy to get more publicity (hey, good or bad, it’s still publicity. i’m the sucker who is blogging it right?). I’ll just wait around for some anonymous bloggers who don’t give a hoot about NBA (No Blogging Agreement). Or maybe some pissed off hacker that can break into the Google Zeitgeist 05. Unlike the nature of the Web, this Google forum is an elitism alright, but an elitism to which NOT everyone is invited.
