Shaquille O'Neal and Tiger Woods are also early investors. It's good to see those two tech gods got in on the action early.

I heard there was a scam going around where some guy sold pre-ipo google shares to otherwise intelligent and industry savvy people. I wonder who fell for that one?
People who serve on a company's board of directors are often given shares. This is pretty close to "free"; just show up at the board meetings and file your expense report for the plane ticket/hotel.

Maybe that's why Joel has been (relatively) quiet recently. He's been packing for his move to [insert name of luxurious, rich-person's abode].

Joel never mentioned where he got those google shares from. Maybe he does work for VCs or something.

The percentage of shares insiders are selling for the IPO is trivial. $100 mill out of $2Bill? 5% of their stake.
