One of the things I'm thinking about in 2009 is how Google can be even more transparent and
communicate more. That led me to a personal goal for 2009: if I give a substantial conference
presentation (not just a question and answer session), I'd like to digitize the talk so that
people who couldn't attend the conference can still watch the presentation.
In that spirit, here's a belated holiday present. In November 2008 I spoke on a panel about
"Preventing Virtual Blight" at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco. A few weeks later I ended up
recreating the talk at the Googleplex and we recorded the video. In fact, this is a "director's
cut" because I could take a little more time for the presentation. Here's the video of the
presentation:
And if you'd like to follow along at home, I'll include the actual presentation as well:
You can also
access the presentation directly.
By the way thanks to Wysz for
recording this. I think we've got another video ready to go pretty soon, too.
