The first Google I/O happened in San Francisco last week, on May 28th and 29th. We had the pleasure of being there with German. Being there cost us approximately USD 2,000, but it was definitely worth it. The Merrcury project will use some of the technologies that Google currently offers, such as Google Maps API. We were able to talk to some of the technical leaders of these projects. The answers we got from them, and the resulting ideas, would have taken weeks to be achieved by other means. On top of that, we were able to sneak out some information about the future plans of some of the ventures of Google that will saves us tons of time in the future! If that wasn’t enough, the food and the party thrown by Google were great.
Not everything was so great though. It is sad to see that many employees of Google have no idea about what other employees are doing in closely related areas. For example: in many cases the technical leaders of the Google Maps API had no idea what the plans for Google Earth were, even though they are supposed to be merging somehow. That is the price you pay when your team is that large….
