Google+: "If you do not change people's lives", closed a ... - The País.com (Spain)

Before

be in front of Google’s social strategy, Bradley Horowitz led the launch of Gmail, Google Voice, Gtalk and Google Docs. It is no coincidence that they call attention networks Orkut founded, the first experiment in this field finder. In its previous stage, at Yahoo!, maintained smell to come up with interesting companies. He negotiated the purchase of Flickr, MyBlogLog and Jumpcut.

During the conference I / O Google in San Francisco, the social network was the star. Service is by far with more news and a greater role in all others. Google+ is the key to access the other services.

Question: How many users are on Google+?
Answer: 190 million monthly active. Who only have to connect at least once a month.

P. How much time do you spend on average within the service?
R. Do not give that data. Also does not seem relevant. Neither that, nor the use by countries. We are interested in a global perspective.

P. The Hangout + application dedicated to messaging, has become very important, does the death of GTalk, GMail chat?
R . Yes, Hangout + will cross courier service. By now they have no closing date, but are expected to all be integrated. Convergence is well.

P. Google+ Henceforth will put labels on “share”, what languages ??and how?
R. At the moment will do well or very well in English. But in principle it does in all languages. As you use will improve. If you want you can remove the auto added. Or decide in each case whether they are successful or not in accordance with the content. What we want is to help discover interesting content.

P. When you decide to end a service, how do they do? By what criteria?
R. When we do not change people’s lives, become meaningless. We can not have everything open, d ecide.

P. When using Hangout + it is unclear whether or not someone is connected. Will they fix it?
R. No, there is nothing to fix. Connection concept has changed. Now the phone is more like SMS. No matter whether it is connected or not, but you get the message to the recipient. We believe in communication.

P. So, is it on purpose?
R. Yes, it is deliberate. We believe that it does not matter. If we put if someone is online or not , is let to share.

P. Video Include emoticons and makes them very similar to Line. Are you comparing with them?
R. No. We compare with anyone. Line, for example, no video. Facetime, yes but only for Apple devices. There are other instant messaging services, but none are as comprehensive as ours.

P. this week announced that it launched Blackberry equivalent. Do you fear?
R. at all. Our success lies in working on as many devices as possible from the beginning. Throughout the day, the computer is passed, the mobile and then to repeatedly tablet. The natural thing is to pass from one to another without missing a beat.

P. for months tried to buy WhatsApp. What happened?
R. I have nothing to say about it.

In 140 characters can not argue

P. But this service seems fairly.
R. Again, there are many solutions, but none is so complete. All seem partial. You have no video, for example.

P. Skype does.
R. But it is not free. Do not allow multiple video without spending a single dollar. We give everything without paying. We want to be ubiquitous. We want to be the best way to connect between humans.

P. At times it is not clear what is public and what private on Google+.
R. You can decide what is private, what public and what is just for some. Except in the communities, which are groups to share with all members.

P. There are already many social networks, why should I be on Google+?
R. Because we do it better, for example, mobile , and because we believe in the debate. Better organize conversations. In 140 charac ters can not be argued.

P. What if the join Google+ I get bored?
R. It may be because it is not correct communities. There is a New York Times that will surely interest you. If you do a search, you’ll see you’re interested.

P. Will we see video touches on Google+ as they do now with the photos?
R. It is not unreasonable. In fact, it would be a logical step. We have to remove camera stabilizers.
