Google Reveals Some of Its Future
December 14, 2009
Great quote department. Navigate to “Marissa Mayer Details Some Broader Plans for Google Search”. Quite a few interesting points, but this is the one I thought was an interesting one from Googler Marissa Mayer:
“Imagine what it would be like if there was a tool built into the search engine which translated my search query into every language and then searched the entire world’s websites,” she says. “And then invoked the translation software a second and third time – to not only then present the results in your native language, but then translated those sites in full when you clicked through.”
See the Googlers watched Star Trek reruns too.

Herewith I reveal that I was not paid to write this. Someone bought me lunch, but I wrote about Google. Sigh. I must report this to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. I wonder what agency is also in that building along with the postal museum and the micro brew restaurant?
