People who don't really believe that Google wants to make the world's information "universally accessible and useful" will, going forward, have a more difficult time arguing their point. Yesterday, Creative Commons announced that it's received a $500,000 gift from Anne Wojcicki and Sergey Brin.
It's no secret that real-time search is one of Google's weak points. Since Bing launched, fewer people have been willing to acknowledge Google as the best search engine overall, too. But the search giant seems to be fighting back, as new reports have it addressing issues on both fronts.
Google held its annual stockholders' meeting yesterday evening and to accompany that Co-founder Sergey Brin decided to re-share the 2008 Founders' Letter, which was originally published on Google's Investor Relations site. Brin says they wanted to make this more widely available so they posted it on the Official Google Blog.
Google is calling for Proposition 8 opposition support. A post on the Official Google Blog talks about the company's opposition to legislation that eliminates the right of same-sex couples to marry. Back in September, Google Co-founder Sergey Brin posted this:

Google Co-founder Sergey Brin has started a new personal blog called simply - Too. "While Google is a play on googol, too is a play on the much smaller number - two," writes Brin. "It also means 'in addition', as this blog reflects my life outside of work."
Vanity Fair released its annual ranking of the world’s most powerful people this week and our favorite executive trio was tied for third, just under Vladimir Putin and Rupert Murdoch.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin are about as powerful as people get in the U.S. tech industry, and it seems they enjoy a similar standing among U.K. media figures. Google's cofounders have come out on top of the new MediaGuardian 100 list.
Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt says the Google founders have grown up."The boys have grown up," Schmidt said at a news conference before the company's annual meeting referring to founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
Google co-founder and multi-billionaire Sergey Brin has concerns about Microsoft's unsolicited bid and proxy fight preparations to takeover Yahoo.
