>It probably could be provided by a 20% free time project at Google

Now there's a reference I have not heard in a long, long time.

Sure they do. It's not necessarily enshrined by some teams but as an individual initiative it is always possible.

thanks for the information. kind of weird it's not really publicized anymore. Any major products that came out recently as a result? if I recall, Google maps started out that way...

maybe you guys don't like to talk about it anymore though...
