Alan Williamson has done a good job of keeping notes from the BayCHI talk he went to given by Google’s Marissa Mayer. It tells an interesting tale of how

I like point #13, Employees are encouraged to use 20% of their time working on their own projects. Google News, Orkut are both examples of projects tha
t grew from this working model.
