Brin’s quote towards the end makes me laugh. I was beginning to wonder what the deal was, myself. But while Google’s dance (no pun intended) in technology was beginning to become rather erratic, even for Google, I strongly believe a large part of Google’s popularity is exactly because of their “build it first, then we’ll see if we can monetize it later.” mindset.

Kamal: I would hope it is exactly the opposite. I would hope that by curtailing their spin into pointless engineering micro-product oblivion, Google actually increases the creativity of their scientists... by giving them more time to actually do research instead of having to release some new product every six months.

One of my biggest problems with Google, for years now, is that they are not able to see the value in longer-term research. I hope these Brin quotes are evidence of a shift in thinking.

I really don’t buy this. This is being said for two reasons: PR so everyone knows google is getting focused or to throw off competitors.

I hope that does not mean curtailing the creativity of fellow scientists at Google…
