Google’s Chief Business Officer, Nikesh Arora, recently spoke at the Top Exec Summit in Denmark. He also took questions from the audience about the future of media and Google. A nice talk to sit back and listen to.
We share presentations from Eric Schmidt more often here at State of Search. He is a good speaker after all, and there is always something interesting he might be saying. And when Eric Schmidt talks about leadership you should keep your ears open, because that is a subject he knows all about.
In this video Eric Schmidt speaks at the IAB Annual Leadership Meeting in Palm Springs on February 27, 2011.
Last week Eric Schmidt made a presence at the DLD conference in Munich. The Germans were very excited to have the almost ex-CEO of Google on stage. It is there that he announced that Google is expanding in Europe. And not just in London, they are also growing in Germany.
In his talk he adresses the next decade. And you have to admit: he is a good speaker. He had a nice quote again, children are either asleep or online..
How does Google work? Not the algorithm but the way it does its research. At the University of Washington Alfred Z Spector, vice president of Research and Special Initiatives at Google, talks about how Google does its research innovation. A very informative and educational talk.

You can find the presentation below, but I thought I’d put my talks in writing and let you in on the world I think we are going to see in the near future. (more…)
Eric Schmidt is all over the place these days. You can hardly miss him anymore. But still he manages to do different talks on different places. Here we see him talk at the TechCrunch Disrupt event last month. Het talked about how he sees the future of the web. He believes search will be there without even using the search engine: autonomous search. He called it the “Serendipity Engine”. Sit back and listen to what he had to say in San Francisco a few weeks ago:

In Belgium a group of search marketers have set up a very interesting initiative: Search University. In different sessions you get informed on all sorts of different topics. And they are doing good. Already in their second edition they managed to get Matt Cutts to talk about SEO. And more. See the video below. Cutts is nice and open, and has a nice and interesting talk.
Jeff Jarvis wrote the book “What Would Google Do“. But in the process he never talked to anybody from Google. After the book was finished he did. He was invited by Google to give a talk at Google HQ. In the series “Authors @Google” Jarvis came to talk to Google employees. And because of YouTube we can see that too. Keep in mind though that it was early 2009 when he held this talk.
Jeff Jarvis is a very busy man. He is the author of “What Would Google Do?” and a professor of journalism at CUNY. Besides that he writes a lot on different websites, (co-)hosts podcasts like “This week in Google” and he speaks a lot on different conventions around the world. He also has an interesting view on the newspaper world. He for example believes Murdoch is wrong. But newspapers do want to make some money. Jarvis not only critics Murdoch, he also comes up with answers.
In this video Jeff Jarvis speaks about new business models for investigative journalism at the BRITE ’10 conference. He discusses the importance of mobile media to local news and how Best Buy and the London Telegraph point to new business models. A very interesting presentation to be watching, on a Sunday afternoon for example

There has been a lot of talk about “social search” in the past year. The Search Engines are trying as hard as they can to catch up with what’s going on with the evolution of social media. The best examples off course being the integration of Twitter and the “results from your social circle”. It seems as if many are still looking for ways to get a grip on the social search. And that will probably go on for a while.
Below a presentation I found on Slideshare about Social Search. It answers some questions and raises some others, but its a nice watch. Enjoy.
