Mayer then shifted to talk about what we’ll see in the future. She specifically mentioned Layar — ”a digital layer on top of reality”. But she says we can go further than that. “Contextual discovery is taking your location and a little context” — if you had a photo of a bird, how would you convey that bird to a search engine, other than typing something like “bird with a white head and black body”? In the future, you’ll be able to use something like Google Goggles to just upload that snapshot as your query.

At that time, hardly anyone at Google actually used Facebook, so they just didn’t understand what people were getting out of social networking products.

Why wouldn’t the companies just tell us what they’re up to? If my guess is right, then I would think they’re silent because it’s a secret. They’d rather their competitors not know until a few hundred shipping containers are in place — and suddenly YouTube looks more like HBO.
