I’m wondering the following:
What are Google’s plans for combining the new rising popularity of Social Networking with Search? In light of their recent aquistion of YouTube, deal with Newscorp, Inc. and creation of Google Co-op, does Google want to integrate and entrench their brand into all areas of Social Networking?

Thanks!

Please ask him about what leadership role Google will take in protecting people’s privacy and in particular their search profiles. I haven’t seen nearly as much as I had hoped on the implications of AOL’s search data / user profile release. I am frightened by Google’s “database of intentions” as you so well put it and hope they can be sure in the future to “do no evil” by making it their standard policy and challenging other search companies to destroy that data within a reasonable period of time (3 months, 6 months, or a year perhaps) to protect all of us “innocent” Google users.

Thanks. David

Please ask Eric about increasing the rate of change at a company that thrives on change and is constantly adding on to itself. Does he feel the ability to be agile and adapt in the web space is crucial to future success? Has the lack of agility and creativity from other such as Yahoo helped Google? For example, Yahoo not being able to close the deal for YouTube.

Thanks, Jeff

Thanks

my question is how Google plans to handle with increasing amount of information which he grabs at his Index?

As I see, the main goal for GG is still the same – to show a searcher what he’s looking for, BUT if is it really possible to give a searcher the best solutions now OR it’s about people have to make an ultimate desicion by their own and it will remain the same in a future?

Since such an ad system; because it will allow advertisers to quickly, easily, and directly reach customers by permission-targeting and bidding on their actual traits and characteristics instead of having to settle for indirectly trying to reach them by targeting the words and numbers they enter into search boxes; could pose the greatest risk (and greatest opportunity) to Google since the birth of GoTo/PPC, it of course should be something carefully vetted by the entire executive team before coming to such a potentially risky conclusion.

Thanks,

the story goes that schmidt himself met with google ad execs in NYC in fall 2001 to deliver message from him, founders and board to abandon ad model and dismantle sales organization — and that only google’s own internal chaos prevented that from happening before the ad model exploded and the modern google as we know it was born…
