Google's Susan Wojcicki

USA Today has a piece about Google's VP of Product Management - Susan Wojcicki (right here). Who can't love the fact the fact that Google was founded in her garage? Susan is credited with the idea of AdSense - the driver behind the ubiquitous Google text ads found on just about every blog on the Internet. Its easy to forget how innovative an idea that was at the time - it shows an appreciation for how all of these individiual "mini-sites" could collectively have the same "network" value as a large branded property, like AOL.com or NYTimes.com.
