Good Google

The BBC reports that Google sets up $1bn charity fund. It seems that:
Web search firm Google - whose motto is "don't be evil" - is setting up a subsidiary dedicated to doing good.

Its new philanthropic division, named Google.org, will fund social investment projects in the developing world.
Gorse Fox can't help it, but he has a sneaking admiration for Google.
Google's vice-president of operations and advertising Sheryl Sandberg - who is in charge of Google.org - said the company wanted to provide sustainable solutions to the problems of poverty, energy and the environment.

"It's not a lot of money in the face of the world's problems, so we want to make sure to get the most out of it," she said.
