By now TechCrunch50 judges and companies know there’s no safety zone here at the conference, least of all backstage. The smart ones just run, but Google’s Bradley Horowitz is too polite for that. In this behind-the-scenes clip we talk about what exactly this Internet man of mystery does at Google, his thoughts on the cultural difference between Google and Yahoo, and how big companies can still innovate. (I’m still dubious on that one.)
We also talk about Affective Interfaces, a TC50 company that got mixed reviews from the judges this morning, but one of Horowitz’s favorites of the day.
Clip on the jump.
he’s one of my favorite judges. always has great things to say.
He looks like paul carr, in a slightly less smug way.
His posture makes it look like he’s on a plane during take off…
if no one at tech crunch knows what his title is, or what he does at google, why is he a judge there?
oh, because he is a VP at google.
nothing against this guy, but wasn’t there a post about “let’s not make silicon valley like hollywood?”
then we have this interview and a bunch of already-funded companies presenting at tc50.
hypocrites
i’d put cranberry sauce all over that turkey if you know what i mean!
I worked for him. He is all words, most of which are repeated from what he hears in other conversations. 100% airhead.
Good unbiased comment there. Well done.
For some reason the video is not playing for me on FF or Safari… Does it work for everyone else?
Video is dead for me too, both via embed and directly from YouTube site.
Ahr, I tried HQ and that worked fine!
it always appears it’s loading. Just click the playhead while it’s loading.
Yup, for me too.
