social stuff is the internet. google bose the internet. facebook does so well and they are so entrenched, they are not going away. they're not going to do a myspace and ignore what google does the way myspace was oblivious to how well facebook is doing. at best where google will succeed is if facebook says what google is doing is so important that we have to sit down with them and share some information. what really drives google crazy on facebook is hundreds of millions of people, some it will be a billion people creating information that is important to them that google can't put in its index when they say find me something. >> facebook is bringing back advertising with so much information about you that they can target a display ad. >> facebook doesn't have that magic quote combination that was up earlier in their advertising. people would be happier if there were no ads on facebook. i went to that famous session about how to advertise. we are going to give you as a chance to put yourself in the conversation between our users, between fr

the inquiry centers around google's dominance of the internet search market. darren gersh reports. >> reporter: google famously says it's code of conduct is "don't be evil." now the federal trade commission is investigating whether the search giant lives up to that promise. google controls 65% of the search engine market and the question anti-trust expert robert lande says will be how google uses that power. >> if you think you are getting a good search, but it's leading you to a google product, that's like fraud and that's one way of describing what i think will be the essence of the f.t.c. investigation. >> reporter: google argues it's all about searching for better ways to serve consumers. david balto was a top anti-trust expert at the federal trade commission. he predicts this investigation will end by concluding google actually protects consumers. >> certainly there are some competitors or advertisers who are unhappy, but consumers aren't. surveys that have been done of consumers have found that consumers see no need to regulate search. consumers are very

if you can find a service or a good available on google or the internet, then the federal government probably doesn't need to be providing that good or service.

(cheers and applause) guys... why pay the post office 44 cents to send your grandma a letter when you can pay fedex 25 bucks. it shows her you care more and when grandma fedexs you a birthday card with $5 in it, it will only take four more years to have enough to send her a thank you note. so i say we can google test our way to eliminating the government all together. okay, for instance, who needs the department of transportation to maintain our interstate highways when i can just google r. pasqually and sons paving. it's right there on their web site "no paving job is too big." good. they can fill the potholes on i-95. as long as mr. di pasqually has more sons than michele bachmann. and, folks, it's easy. we can eliminate medicare. there's all kinds of health servic

, what is the most innovative part of google? is it the technology of the search, or is it the business model of this amazing advertising system that you've created? >> it ultimately has to be both in a company like google. the company was started with a research idea of how to do search better. our founder invented this while at stanford. classic two young people at stanford who go off to form a company and are hugely successful. along the way in the first couple of years, there was a question of how to make money. then another group, again, a couple of very young people right out of stanford, figured out this targeted advertising model. you need both. >> a successfully innovative enterprise also needs to be about having fun. so, that brilliant minds are inspired to creative heights. at least so says eric schmidt and it means allowing people to be themselves. >> the people who are very, very creative are not going to show up at 9:00, leave at 5:00 and punch a card. they're going to be interesting. they're going to be fun. they're

we saw the perfect example of that in google. say that i am still persuaded that the government has proven to have a powerful role in innovation, at least in the past. look at all of the achievements of darpa in inventing the internet, gps. without them america and the world would be a very different place. after all, the fastest growing economies in the world today, china, south korea, are using the government to fund research, to promote innovation, in industry after industry, they're establishing commanding leads because of government policy. so, i think we need both -- government support and a vibrant private sector to foster innovation. but my final thought about all this is that even if we do outinnovate the rest of the world, even if we maintain the cutting edge, there is still a big question. given the way technology works and globalization works these days, will innovation benefit the average american? will he or she have a better job as a consequence of innovation? the answer is, we can't be sure. take a look at apple. t
