- Brian said: two interesting things here:1. I thought this quote by Eric Schmidt Google CEO was really great (funny):"By the year 2019, it's going to be possible to have an iPod-like device that will have 85 years of video on it. So you will be dead before you watch the whole [thing]."Also the idea that social networks are like air, this hits it right on the head:"Brand marketers that may be tempted to build their own social networks need to consider that there may not be room in people’s lives for more than one or two. They will need to plug into the social “air” supply that the large networks are building across the Web so that consumers can stay connected to their existing networks."Any site we're thinking about building should be built on top of these "air supplies".Which gets me thinking about using googles framework as a way of possibly be more relevant in their search results (so you think that would help?).
