Google web cast

On February 9, Google held its first "analyst day" and the event was webcast in its entirety (even the breaks!) which makes for long listening. I listened yesterday and I found it most interesting--not all of it but a lot of it. Mind you, I am not a Wall Street analyst so did not register that the CFO acted as MC but did not make a financial report.

Those of you watching what Google is doing because you think it will steamroller over the Librarian Ship or because you see Google as a partner in delivering information to people will find snippets to support both views.

As Walt Whitman wrote (not about Google though)
Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)

And here are some glosses on the event, including a roundup from Gary Price at SearchEngineWatch (unlike me, he blogged about this the day after if happened...I just seem to be a week out of step right now...not enough sunlight here in central Ohio).
