The rumor has been confirmed, but ***shhh*** don’t tell anyone- but it’s become apparent that Google is about to be roommates with Agent Genius here in Austin, Texas! We can’t wait to be the obnoxious guy in the living room past 2am, eating Google’s meatloaf even though they had their name written on it. Google has just signed their lease on a 2nd story office in downtown Austin and we couldn’t be happier- we promise not to do any drive-by eggings, Google- we’ll be good roomies (said as I drink the last of your orange juice from the communal fridge)… Austin’s big enough for the both of us!!!
Oh, and Google- if you want the whole place to yourself, you can just buy us… I’m just sayin’.

Google came to Kitchener Waterloo last year.
Kitchener Waterloo used to be a small farming community, and now is the Tech Triangle. Google, Microsoft, RIM (blackberry), OpenText and many others are calling it home

WE have the Google Ad words division here, just since last year, Ann Arbor rolled out the red carpet for them. I worked with one employee, and found them a great house, they paid cash.
He headed up Google in Poland, but his wife was from Michigan. The office is amazing and all the wonderful food they have.
