Google can hear him, and they’re listening

The talk of the Internet for the past two weeks has been a Boise man named Aaron Stanton. Stanton had a business idea he wanted to pitch to Google, but decided the online form the company uses for that wasn’t quite good enough. So on Feb. 11 Stanton flew from Boise to Northern California, rented a car and drove to Google’s headquarters in Mountain View.

But before he left Boise he built a website called http://www.CanGoogleHearMe.com. Stanton uses the site to chronicle his unbelievable story: He showed up at Google and was turned away by receptionist after receptionist, but apparently his message got through to a few folks inside the company. On his second day there he received an e-mail from someone inside the company, who wrote, "We can hear you. :-)"
