A Conversation with Vic Gundotra
summary
Argues that mobile is Google's most important strategic initiative and shows concrete work: a Google Mobile App using location, voice and friends data, voice search accuracy rising ~15% after launch, and an offline HTML5 Gmail web app prototype that opens cached messages in airplane mode and runs on both iPhone and Android from one codebase. Describes Google Moderator scaling to 3.6 million votes with ~700 QPS, credits App Engine for handling the load without affecting 45,000 other apps, and outlines an API/partnership strategy.
