I wouldn't take it personally. I was in the exact same situation. I applied to a Google position that my qualifications absolutely crushed, I was sure I'd be contacted almost immediately. Nope. 6 or 7 weeks later I finally got a response for a quick phone screening with their HR guy. I thought it was insulting.
I don't think Google's hiring is really any different than headhunters. They drop a lot of hooks, get a lot of resumes into a database, and when they really need to fill a position they just do a search and drill down the list of matches.
Maybe go apply to Facebook instead.
