Over the last couple of days a meeting of very influential people has been going on. The attendees have ranged from political figures like Peter Mandelson and Alistair Campbell to media grandees like BBC Director General, Mark Thompson and even royalty, like Prince Charles and the princes of both Norway and Spain. But why? To plan some major conspiracy? For the opening of something? No, to hear what Google have to say.
That’s right, it appears that the scope of Google’s influence has now grown to such an extent that all it takes is for them to throw a function and the global great and good will come running down to pull up a chair and listen to what they have to say.
It’s significant proof of just how far Google has come that what amounts to basically a glorified series of press conferences from Google has turned into a global event that is starting to rival Davos’s World Economic Forum as a magnet for the great and good.
