Marissa Mayer: “Google hasn’t gotten social yet”

marissa-mayer-google

Mediabeat had the chance to sit down and talk to Marissa Mayer. And they got her to actually talk and give straight answers.

In the first part Marissa talks about Places where she highlights Hotpot as the competitive product from Google towards Foursquare. She is also asked how Google will get people to embrace this technology which pushes local. She indicates that everybody, including Google, is trying out what works and what doesn’t. Marissa also discusses missing the Groupon deal and how Google these days leaves a company intact when they buy that company and leave them the autonomy.

In the second part Marissa answers more questions about the different products she has been working on. She also claims: Search is about education. Facebook also gets a small sneer when it comes to opens. When asked about Buzz she admits Google hasn’t gotten social yet. But they are working on it. And as usual privacy is named as something they are very careful with. (more…)

Interview with Murray Newlands, organizer of Social Media Marketing 2010

murray-newlands

As a blog which does a lot of event coverage we also like to talk to the organizers of the events. One event which is rapidly gaining ground is the Social Media Marketing 2010 event, which takes place in San Francisco and the upcoming one in Las Vegas. Organizer is Murray Newlands, we asked him some questions about himself and the event.

Can you introduce yourself?

I blog at murraynewlands.com. I have been in online marketing since I was 24. I am now 36 so that’s 12 years already. I have been working in the affiliate marketing space for the last 7 years but in the last 2, I started doing more and more in the social media space. My background means I come at social media marketing from the perspective of delivering results, not just what some see as fluff. (more…)

Talking to Mark Zuckerberg

Last week at the Web 2.0 Summit 2010 in San Francisco three incredible big names took the stage: John Batelle and Tim O’Reilly had the chance to sit down for a long talk with Mark Zuckerberg. This resulted in a very very interesting talk. Great stuff for a sunday afternoon.

Talking to Eric Schmidt at Web 2.0 Summit 2010: “But forget search…”

This week John Batelle and Tim O’Reilly had a chance to sit down and talk to a couple of the ‘big names’ in the online industry. One of them was Eric Schmidt. And they had the chance to talk to him for 45 minutes. The full interview was below.

Off course we all were looking for that one weird quote he was bound to be making. At one point it looked it was going to be “But forget search” which he said when they talked about Android, but he quickly added: “In the new world you sort of have to label jokes, that was a joke”. So you pick the quote from this one ;- ).

He even talked about talent and the one guy who got fired over leaking the raise.

Marissa Mayer: “Launching Gmail on April Fools day was widely misinterpreted”

Digg has found an interesting format of interviewing: Digg Dialogue, getting their audience to send in the questions and then ask them to  a ‘web-celebrity’. This time Marissa Mayer came back to Digg to answer questions. Mayer answered questions in all ranges, from the ‘disaster’ which was Google Wave up to Google TV, a Google Car and more.

A nice one: the one gadget she can’t live without: her Verizon card to get on the web and her smart phones.

See the entire interview below:

Eric Schmidt: “It was a joke, it just wasn’t very good”

He may not look like one of the funniest people out there (or maybe he does?) but Eric Schmidt at least tries to be humorous. Even though that humor is not always spot on. A few months ago he stated that youngsters would or could be changing their names in the future to erase what they did on the web.

Two days ago Eric Schmidt appeared on the American TV show “The Colbert Report” from comedian Stephen Colbert. There they discussed in a light way some critical topics, like privacy. When Schmidts’ remark came up Schmidt simply said: “It was a joke, it just wasn’t very good”. Spot on Eric, it wasn’t. Still, you have to admire the man stepping up on to the plate again and again. Watch the interview below. (more…)
