ThechcrunchArrington: How important is social to google’s future, and how might google go about competing with a large established competitor?
Schmidt: Our view of social is a little different than what everyone has been writing. we want our core products to get better from social information. The best thing that could happen is if Facebook opened up its network and if we could just use that information…Failing that, there are other ways in which we can get that information.
We are trying to add a social component [to google's core products] to make them even better. With your permission…and knowing more about who your friends are, we can provide more tailored recommendations, search quality will be better.
A reasonable expectation [of launch] will be the Fall.
Social Spark that makes see people within all these inter connected networks. All the social networking is based on our needs and how we see other people. Instead of only seeing people around your village or town, now we see people from all over the world, thanks to Internet!. All the sites that promote social networking, Friend connects, linklogs, social bookmarking, and virtual spaces from smallest to the largest help us see more people. "we see people" is a Socialspark!
