On the map Down Under
Posted by Julian Sonego, Marketing
Manager, Google Australia and New Zealand
Google Australia has officially come out of beta–we've
recently launched our new Australian operation. While Google has
had a presence Down Under since late 2002, we have only recently
moved into our new digs, which have water views that are the envy
of Googlers worldwide.
This new Googleplex in Sydney gives us the opportunity to scale our
operation to support a growing band of users, advertisers, and
partners. We have also invested heavily in local engineering talent
to conduct original R&D work, underscoring Google's
commitment to Australia and willingness to set up shop wherever
there's talent.
To coincide with the grand opening of the office, the team recently
released street maps for
