Today I spoke to a packed (standing and sitting on the floor, even) room at Google about sexual privacy online in all forms, understanding sex and search (and who looks for it and why) and so much more. It was a tremendous opportunity to demystify sex and porn (and user perceptions of sexual privacy and anonymity; and the consequences of these assumptions). What a fucking fantastic time; the talk went great, I got a lot of really thoughtful questions, and kept the attendees laughing (for the most part, I think). So cool.
The whole talk was recorded and will be on Google Video in the next few days, then YouTube — I’ll post when it goes up if you want to see what I said to Google (and I’ll include talk-relevant links as well). I’ve been asked to go back and speak again. Wow! There are a few cute audience snaps here. And I promised at least one person in the crowd I’d link to this (link updated; I should really re-do the national section and finish this project, hmmm).
Also — I think Google hires mostly cute people.
