"Marissa Mayer, Google's VP of Search Products, User Experience, and Puff Pieces," as Valleywag styles her, was interviewed in the Guardian last week.
Valleywag has a "summarised" version, such as:
Marissa says she can't think of any mistakes Google has made. She thus joins Bill Gates and George W. Bush among the ranks of people with no memorable slip-ups.
Marissa stars at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival today (Saturday) where the blurb says: "She'll lift the lid on Google plans to position itself in the new world of internet TV."
Comment: It would be much more interesting if Marissa lifted the lid on Google's plans to take over the advertising business for ordinary (non-internet) TV, as well as radio and magazine advertiing ... at least in those cases where it can't simply carry the ads on Google instead.
As Google chief executive Eric Schmidt said: "But ultimately our goal at Google is to have the strongest advertising network and all the world's information, that's part of our mission."
Not much to ask, is it?
