Google API has a BUG

10% Innovation

I am really impressed by google's 20% innovation strategy. It gives space to an individual programmer to innovate and show his skills in his area or topic of choice.

This will give startup a good amount of time to work on their project and simultanously give programmer also a fair amount of time to work for their choice of topic. Always remember that if google wouldn't have adopted this then they couldn't have develope adsense, google suggest and orkut like products. These products require efforts similar a full company product.
