Marissa announces Global Zeitgeist 2008
Zeitgeist is broken out over 30 countries to see trends on a local level
New announcement: iGoogle themes for photographers
About Chrome: big priorities are getting out of beta. Taking that technology and making it better
Why Chrome so soon out of beta?
Arrington: Searchwiki: you've been testing this summer: "What in the world were you thinking?"
Searchwiki can be turned off by the user (opt out) sometime next year.
Searchwiki is not used to improve searchresults
90% of search is done: the last 10% are the hardest. What are you going to do to take search to the next level? What's the future of search?
Mayer: we think competition in search is good
How and where can you search? Now you use your laptop. We are looking to make it easier for phones, cars etcetera.
Introducing new media in search results. In the end almost all search pages should have alternate media in it
Speach text will be there before face recognition
There is a lot of promising data, we will have a break through in 5 to ten years
Because of personalized search we can give better results the next time you search
Local search: most time spent is within five miles of your home so local is very handy
Privacy: we take privacy very seriously. The best privacy rules are: transparancy and choice: whether or not you want to participate
What do you do with the ideas people hand you? Mayer: Some of the best ideas come from searchers. For example the omnibox in Chrome is based on observation of userdata
Speech text: accents are a problem. Google is building a dataset
How do you pick people? We are really looking for people who have fire and passion for change in the world and are able to accelerate
