"The world of Google - everything on which Google focuses its time and effort - is built on relevant data. A portion of that world involves making that data searchable.

I sometimes have to stop myself from spending too much time on Google Reader at work, but as long as it's within moderation I think it very much helps me professionally.

You should try to convince your boss that reading Google Reader all day IS productive. - Mark Wilson Haley
Well actually, I'm my own boss, so... - Costa Walcott

“I made a Genius playlist today from a Metallica song, and it gave me a bunch of Metallica, Megadeth, Testament, etc songs ending "The Metal" by Tenacious D as the last song. I like Genius's style!”
