Larry Page and Sergey Brin Interview Webcast
Posted on October 21, 2007 Comments (5)
This interview and audience question and answer took place last week at the end of the Google Zeitgeist conference. Some interesting notes from Sergey:
|
- While not directly related to Google he is very interested in the innovation in nanotechnology and carbon nanotubes and the present time.
- on moving toward universal power supplies – we are talking to some companies about solutions “but I gotta be honest with you it is a harder problem than I thought”
Larry:
- focus on Google’s mission – to organize the world’s information
- believes there is great potential in solar power and would love to see successful companies in that industry
- improve power supply efficiency on servers
Both:
- discussed poor web usability practices based on sites that adopt flashy technology that make it slower and more difficult for users – flash, excessive Ajax… Larry also mentioned doing testing on the user experience – no surprise for Google and no surprise that most poorly overly fancy sites care more about what a pointy haired boss might think on seeing the flash than on users experiences and testing.
