Google’s past data efforts were largely tied to the discovery and categorization of information, but Google+ adds a new component to that mix: people.
This shift raises a host of important questions:
- How will the social data from Google+ be put to use?
- Is social data critical to Google’s mission of organizing the world’s information, or is it more aligned with the company’s advertising model?
- What long-term value does this data bring to users and Google itself?
Tim O’Reilly and Google VP of Product Management Bradley Horowitz will explore these questions and others during a free webcast on Tuesday, August 23 at 10 am PDT / 1 pm EDT.
