Google Announces Project 10^100 for World-Changing Ideas

In case you missed it, the Google Blog recently announced that the company will be hosting a competition called Project 10100 (pronounced "Project 10 to the 100th") as a call for the best ideas that can change the world by helping as many people as possible. Google has set aside $10 million to help fund the five best ideas as voted on by the people and an advisory board.

You can read all the details on the contest and submit your idea here. As they often do, Google created a nifty clip on YouTube promoting the competition:

Thanks Hatef for sending this in!

Congratulations to Google on its anniversary and its charitably ambitious endeavor. Many good program ideas will be submitted. Is there one idea that can begin to solve all the problems in the world?
With all the greed and selfishness on the globe, with all the trillions spent on programs, is there a better solution? One that will really make an impact?
I went on a blog that says the egoism in the world must be replaced with altruism. The group is enthusiastically engaged with this idea all year long and how to implement it.

I think that this is a great contest.

I have submitted my idea. My idea deals with creating a more incentive-driven health system. Think about it: wouldn't you like to get paid for being healthy or be able to "trade" your health to other less healthy family members or friends. Sound interesting...then view my short YouTube video at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb71fk-79Uc

Also, full details of my idea can be found at: www.quidproquohealthmanagement.com
