The Great Google Grab

Google, the multi-billion dollar company that became a verb synonomous with looking up items on the Web, has announced a massive plan/inititaive/saving grace aimed for something it has dubbed Google Fiber. The tech speak basically is a high-speed Internet connection advertised as more than 100 times faster than normal that would be test marketed in a community between 50,000 and 500,000 people.

What is the criteria besides that? Google itself isn't saying much, but apparently creativity is a key thhing as pretty much every city, county and burg that fits the population criteria is trying to get a piece of the Google puzzle. Hundreds of Greenville residents, for example, met in Falls Park to spell out the Google logo using glow sticks. Other cities are doing similar things.
