When I was in London a while back, I got the chance to spend time with the BBC. These guys are fun to talk with. Then they came by my offices (in Ross, before we moved to Sausalito), and that ended up on the Money Programme, which takes an indepth look at Google.

Hi John,
I saw the BBC programme last Friday. I thought you came across well and overall the BBC seemed to give a fairly balanced view of Google although they did express concerns over the amount of information Google may have about us in the future.

Martin said it was good but he was surprised how they didn’t really discuss the privacy implications for business, which are obviously a big concern.
Hi John,
Being a Brit living in SF, I catch a lot of UK TV via bittorrent at uknova.com. I saw this show the other day and was surprised to see you on it. Overall the show was a little weak, targetted like most of the Money Programme editions at a broader audience rather than the likes of us
btw, I enjoy your ongoing commentary.. I’ve been reading this blog for a long time, and also read The Search last year
keep up the good work
