Familiar with MOMA? Only for Google Employees

A blog for Google’s former employees talks about the Google intranet called MOMA. Before the company went public, MOMA included features that let employees see how much money the company was making via the adwords program in real time. It also included latency times, popular search terms, and traffic statistics for Google properties. Making realtime business critical information available to employees is one way to motivate them and keep them connected with the company.

Also interesting was their corporate directory which included employee names, email addresses, photographs (sometimes fakes), extensions and location. The names would also be linkd to a list of that person’s quarterly goals and objectives so you could understand exactly where your proposed project would fit in their priority list before you even spoke to them.
