Google set to open facility in Ann Arbor
Reports have surfaced that Google plans to open up a Google AdWords headquarters in Ann Arbor Michigan. Hiring close to 1000 individuals to oversee the main hub for Google's driving revenue source. Google has already started posting positions for the AdWords headquarters on is HR pages. With the current category being Operations and IT. At the current time of posting, Google had two openings posted. One for Book Search Operations Supervisor and one for Book Search Operations Technician. Not sure how these fit into AdWords, but I guess Google could be running some smaller localized search divisions out of the AdWords HQ.
Google's new facility in Ann Arbor is sure to help out Michigan's slower economy, and give it a nice refreshing boost, and renewed rejuvenation. Google sought out this facility in Michigan due to the talent that was coming out of local Michigan Universities. As an incentive package, the State of Michigan is offering Google $38 million in tax breaks over 20 years for the development of its facility, with Google's expectations that the office be up and running by fall 2006.

They're posting Book Search job openings I think because U of Michigan - Ann Arbor is one of the libraries Google is trying to digitize in its entirety. The purpose of the site may be to run AdWords, but why not keep some people there in house to work on what might be Google's most ambitious project?

The book search stuff has been going on for quite sometime, along with the job postings.
So far no new posts for the adword jobs.

Is it just me, or doesn't it seem like this is turning into the unofficial google blog?
