Preventing Virtual Blight: my presentation from Web 2.0 Summit
Monday, January 12, 2009 at 1:13 PM
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 not just on a shoestring budget but for free. I think we've got another video ready to go pretty soon, too.

TiriPon said...Why is that every video made by Google staff is always published on YouTube instead of Google Video?

Google bought YouTube. Google Video is being phased out from what I can tell.
TiriPon said... Well the fact that they bought YouTube is not enough a good reason get rid of Google Video which I still find much better. Why not encourage people to switch by giving the example and use Google Video.
