BattelleΓÇÖs blog: www.battellemedia.com What does the world want? According to John Battelle, a company that answers that questionΓÇöin all its shades of meaningΓÇöcan unlock the most intractable riddles of business and arguably of human culture itself. Battelle will discuss the past, present, and future of search technology and the enormous impact itΓÇÖs starting to have on marketing, media, pop culture, dating, job hunting, international law, civil liberties, and just about every other sphere of human interest. Battelle draws on more than 350 interviews with major players from Silicon Valley to Seattle to Wall Street, including Google cofounders Larry Page and Sergey Brin and CEO Eric Schmidt, as well as competitors like Louis Monier, who invented AltaVista, and Neil Moncrief, a soft-spoken Georgian whose business Google built, destroyed, and built again. Battelle lucidly reveals how search technology actually works, explores the amazing power of targeted advertising, and reports on the frenzy of the Google IPO, when the company tried to rewrite the rules of Wall Street and declared DonΓÇÖt Be Evil to be its corporate motto.
