Wow. Back to the original CEO then.
Eric is still around and filling an important role (basically doing what he used to mostly do, he just doesn't have to sit in on earnings calls anymore):
Eric Schmidt will assume the role of Executive Chairman, focusing externally on deals, partnerships, customers and broader business relationships, government outreach and technology thought leadership--all of which are increasingly important given Google's global reach. Internally, he will continue to act as an advisor to Larry and Sergey.
- bootload 16y ago"'we’ve only touched one percent of what' social can be within search." Brin was quoted above in the google earnings address, "We’ve Touched 1 Percent Of What Social Search Can Be" ~ http://techcrunch.com/2011/01/20/sergey-brin-weve-touched-1-percent-of-what-social-search-can-be/ http://techcrunch.com/2011/01/20/sergey-brin-weve-touched-1-... "... Eric is still around and filling an important role ..." I think this could be a bigger adjustment than you think. Google under Schmidt has not gained ground on social search and in effect dropped the ball. An important lesson running a product on the open Internet. Google with the massive financial and technical lead can loose ground and revenue to competitors.
