Today the Saline Chamber of Commerce held a Lunch and Learn at Stonebridge Golf Club. Michael Lorenc spoke from Google. Mike and his wife Amy were my buyer clients last year when they moved here from Poland, where Mike was head of Google in Poland.
Imagine my surprise when I said "hello" and he told me Amy had told him I would be there. Wow, how would she know THAT?
Earlier today I was downloading the Twitter Application for FaceBook and to test it out, I twitted I was going to the Saline Chamber meeting to hear a past client from Google speak.
Ahhh, the nature of Web 2.0!
After the lunch and meeting where Michael spoke I cornered asked him if he would answer a few questions for my blogging friends on Activerain.
He agreed. You will have to watch the video, I did with my flip to hear the answers.
What does Google think of Duplicate content?
Should be join all these Social Networks?
Does he Twitter?
Is it good to put our blog feeds into all these social networks?
Is PR (Google Page Rank) all that important?
And which is better Organic or Paid Search, PPC ?
You might be surprised at a few of Michaels answers. Thanks Michael, you did a great job and hi Amy if you're reading.
It is better to be on page one # 10 on Google, than page 2 #1. Some people if they don't find what they are looking for on page 1, will start their search over.

Hi Missy. I am doing my best to learn about all this 2.0 stuff. I have come a long way in the last month.
Thanks for your help,
Ken
Missy- Your video kept cutting out on me.....so what about that duplicate content? what a fascinating interview.....
Good info, Missy. It's always valuable to hear what someone inside the Google org has to say.
Hi Missy,
Thanks, but for some reason I had difficulty hearing him and I tried 3X. Maybe I'm the only one???
Wow, Missy, how cool is that!?
The video is sort of mushy on my system, don't know if it's me or the code on the video itself. But thanks for trying!
Interesting interview Missy although it was hard to hear over all you Michigan party animals:)
Missy - I would have to agree with Bill Gassett, it was really hard for me to hear. I would have loved to watch the whole video. Is there any way you can write a blog and elaborate a little bit on his comments.
Great info Missy! Now if I can't figure out how to link blogs I will be good to go. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome Missy! I love watching videos especially from the Google Geeks! Just like others have said its hard to hear because of the room and location you were in but I got the jist of it. You might want to highlight some of the key answers he pointed out in text format next time you run into this issue. So Mike just confirmed my theory on duplicate content, any content that looks cut and paste is a big no no. Great post Missy!
Very interesting. I'm going to listen again...so that I can catch everything. How small is the world, Missy? GBU!!
Missy... is this the same person that you talked to when we had questions about duplicate content over a year ago? overall, interesting.. thanks for sharing as usual.
thanks for sharing - it is always great to have a little inside scoop
Hey Missy- Awesome! What a neat opportunity. I'd keep him close and pick his brain often. Thanks for sharing.
Missy, this was GREAT!! Very interesting. Loved it. Thank you very much.
You made me do it again. (Jump off my computer and log on to hubbys because he has speakers and I don't... :-)
Very very very cool!
Hi Missy great idea and love the blog. Did they move to hamtramck? :) Im polish I can say that. Anyways the video was a little hard to hear because of the background noise, but I still understood everythign and it was very interesting to hear what he has to see.
Missy, if there is any way to post the "jest" of his answers that would be so awesome. I can make out the gal laughing in the background perfectly but I get about every third word with him.
That was a great idea to interview him and your questions were right on point.
Like the others, can't hear him, but you sound great. :-))
oh well, at least I get to hear you ;-) if you could post text of some of what he said that would be awesome!
the elusive holy grail of page #1 on google, versus #1 on page 2, -- i know its true and hate to hear it, thanks for the story

To all, I've been down in the weather so I will answer all your questions, and interprete the video for you in a couple of days. The room has a lot of background noise and a twittered the question. " how do I get rid of background noise on the flip?'
GET A MAC, was the common answer.
post the text part of the interview so we can hear what s going on there.
