WHAT IS GOOGLE?
Marissa Mayer, Google's vice president of search products and user experience, told an audience at the Edinburgh International Television Festival that the internet innovator was television's friend, not its rival.
The headlines:
"We're computer scientists," she said. "We're not brilliant storytellers or content creators."
"Google is a technology company, not a media company."
"If we were creating content ourselves, that would create a bias and could affect how we would position other content," she said. "That's why we've been careful not to create a lot of content."
Mayer said Google had failed to foresee the huge popularity of user-generated content - its original model for online video emphasised "premium content" which viewers would pay a small fee to access. The success of YouTube over the past year - rapidly eclipsing Google Video in popularity - took many by surprise
