Search Engine Wednesday | Google CEO Talks About Viacom Lawsuit, Universal Search, More

This is a six minute video with Eric Schmidt, discussing the following:

  • The Viacom Lawsuit (”was probably a just mistake” !!)
  • Universal Search (“the blending, algorithmically, of results from video, and audio, books and so forth”…)
  • iGoogle (”…many, many, millions of people are now personalizing their search experience.)
  • The Double Click acquisition (”…we think that the ads themselves have value… fewer, better ads, which is better for the end user, which is the ultimate goal”.)
  • Evil (”I understand the concerns, ultimately we’re different … because we are one click away from losing that end user.”)

Apparently this is from the All Things Digital Conference, but I got it from Marketwatch’s Brightcove Channel. The interviewer, I believe, is Walt Mossberg from the Wall Street Journal – someone please point out if I’m wrong as the video doesn’t say.

This was originally for my personal log about online video, but I had to show it to you, even though Google Tuesday was yesterday …. as most videos I show here that I didn’t personally make, feel free to grab the code and pass it on. I appreciate all the links back, thank you.
