Watch Brin talking to Berkley students

Last week Sergey Brin's went to Berkley to speak to the students of SIMS 141: Search Engines: Technology, Society, and Business.
Brin talked about the difference that global audience brings to the product.
Take the case of the Wikipedia, the free online multilingual encyclopedia, written collaboratively by volunteers. Anyone can add a new entry to the Wikipedia, and anyone can edit it. This is a simple idea – one you would assume would not work, but it does, said Brin. One reason is scale: it taps the power and potential of a global audience.
I bet, Google tries to make the best students dream about working on the edge for Google.
