Eric highlighted 8 main points while talking about the power and dominance of the big brands and how they are changing the way people live.
Among the facts he shared with the public:
- There are only 4 major players in the industry that are impacting the life’s of the consumers. He calls them Gang of Four: Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook. Ahem, no Microsoft.
- Google has managed to get a deal renewed with Apple to be the default search engine & Maps on all apple devices: Mac OS Safari, iPHone, other iOS devices. Also it would be the default location data provider on iOS.
- Google would get social data from number of sources and would not intend to buy any of the existing social networking sites.
- Eric would love to work with Google till his deathand even after that if thats possible.
- Google had long invented technology for public facial recognition but privacy issues are holding it back
- His biggest failure was to fail at Social. If there’s only one thing he could change for the good, Social would be it.
- Google doesn’t misuse user information, it all comes back to user as better search results. User has the full control over the information they are sharing with google.
- If you care about security use Mac over a PC and user Chrome browser.
