Google Poland Ops

Just when we thought Google was done with big international moves, news arrives about the behemoth opening an operations center near Wroclaw, Poland. According to a local newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza, the company's European sales executive Colm Long said the search for center personnel has already begun. 

According to an AFP/Yahoo! press release, Wroclaw has become something of a high-tech center in Poland. The new “outpost” will officially be Google's second largest outside their Dublin continental hub. The new outpost will handle Google's Adwords advertising and should employ up to 100 people.

The academic success of Poland's system has turned out really well educated workers and the low wages there are a big draw for companies looking to reduce operating costs. Poland is currently one of the cheapest labor markets in Europe, and this area has already attracted a good number of hi-tech companies.

Google already maintains a research and development center in Krakow, Poland. I am wondering if Google executives traveling to Poland to sue the poets there got infatuated with some really cute Polish girls and decided to build another Google center as a cover. Let's just hope for Google's sake that they do not get the Poles hacked off like they seem to everyone else lately.
