Techcrunch really is eating up these Google and Facebook stories. I mean they're kind of interesting, but not interesting in the way that stories on innovation are interesting.

I kind of want to see the perspective of lower level google employees. They wouldn't get offers like this, but they would all have some thought about the future of their company

I know I'm stating the obvious, but Google, Facebook and Apple stories like this get eaten up by mainstream news. There are more readers of mainstream news than there are entrepreneurial types like us on HN.

They're interesting to me because of all the technologies that huge platforms like Google and Facebook spawn. For instance when Facebook launched the Places API, there were 3-4 Places apps out there within a week or two. For that reason the long term growth (or death) of these giants is interesting to me even if I'm not able to/don't desire to work there. Then again my startup is all about Facebook so maybe I'm just a nerd for it.
