I am a huge Google nerd. With little exception, I love the company and what they do. I use Gmail, Google calendar, reader, documents, etc. The only thing I haven't fully grappled with yet is Buzz. It is too much too soon. I was put off by their initial 'in-your-face' shove of Buzz into the world.
That said, I would be super excited if a plan by the YBI came to fruition. The redesigned Vindicator has the latest:
Will Youngstown and Google connect?
Friday, March 5, 2010
YOUNGSTOWN — Google is looking for cities where it can install an incredibly fast communications network, and Youngstown wants to be considered.
A local team will begin meeting next week to develop a proposal for how it would use the broadband, fiber-optic network, which Google said will be 100 times faster than current high-speed networks.
Jim Cossler, who assembled the team, is looking for practical ideas about how super-fast connections can help improve society. He is the director of the Youngstown Business Incubator.
For the complete story, see Saturday’s Vindicator and Vindy.com.

Thank you for this :)
Once again, Jim Cossler comes to the rescue. It grates on a lot of nerves in Cleveland that he lives there and travels to YTown to do his magic. But if Cleveburg was smart enough to see the unique power of what he does, maybe he would be there. Our loss.
