Google is famously driven by data. Until Google+ that data was about web pages, places and news. Now that Google has added people to the mix, how will they use this data? Is social data really critical to Google's mission of organizing the world's information, or is it more relevant to their business model of advertising?

In a conversation with Tim O'Reilly, Bradley Horowitz (Google's VP of Product Management) will talk about Google's successful social network and the long-term value that it brings to users and Google itself.

This webcast is an extended preview of conversation taking place at O'Reilly's Strata Summit, Sept. 20-21, in New York City. Part of a weeklong series devoted to data, including Strata Jumpstart (Sept. 19) and the Strata Conference (Sept. 22-23), Strata Summit will look across the new economy of data, highlighting opportunities and challenges for business and society.

The conversation will touch on:
How the Google+ team thought about social data--design and policy principles that underly the service
What Google is learning from Google+ interaction data
Interesting or even surprising discoveries from Google+ data analysis
challenges and lessons on the infrastructure side

    Particularly like Tim's comment about some of the criticisms G+ has gotten. To put in my own words, the service is really, really new. G has it out there, is learning, and appears to have the commitment to evolve the service over time. Let is develop, and give it time!

    These kikes don't need to be castrated and set adrift at sea. Suggesting so might not be politically correct. Better ask wikigoogle.

    ???

    I wish People would Stop and Think before posting!

    Who says you don't sign up with your real details?

    Who says G doesn't Verify you properly?

    What is stopping G providing a 2nd field/input for a psuedo for public display?

    The majority that want Psuedos are more than happy to go that route.

    So the arguements against have No Standing what so ever.

    Further - G claims to have Usabiltiy and Accessability teams, as well as QA teams.

    If you have experienced any of G's "product launches", you should be left sitting there wondering exactly what these "teams" actually do - due to the sheer number of obvious blunders, mistakes, problems etc. that make it "live".

    Worse - for those that deal with G (TCs etc.), they get asked to report problems - constantly. Repeatedly!

    Waste of time/effort as G only ask again 3 months later!
