TJCMN's video: Geek Bytes - Larry Page Replaces Eric Schmidt As Google CEO

Co-Founder of Google Larry Page Is Confirmed To Be The New CEO of Google, Former CEO Eric Schmidt Demotes Himself To Chief Executive Officer. Written Recap Below Along With Full Article/Blog Post! Full Summary: Nearly 15 years ago, Google got its start as a research project by then-Stanford students Larry Page and Sergey Bring. 10 years ago, they brought Eric Schmidt on as CEO and since, the company has grown to dominate search and become one of the largest forces on the Internet. Read on for the entirety of Schmidt's announcement: When I joined Google in 2001 I never imagined--even in my wildest dreams--that we would get as far, as fast as we have today. Search has quite literally changed people's lives--increasing the collective sum of the world's knowledge and revolutionizing advertising in the process. And our emerging businesses--display, Android, YouTube and Chrome--are on fire. Of course, like any successful organization we've had our fair share of good luck, but the entire team--now over 24,000 Googlers globally--deserves most of the credit. And as our results today show, the outlook is bright. But as Google has grown, managing the business has become more complicated. So Larry, Sergey and I have been talking for a long time how best to simplify our management structure and speed up decision making--and over the holidays we decided now was the right moment to make some changes to the way we are structured. For the last 10 years, we have all been equally involved in making decisions. This triumvirate approach has real benefits in terms of shared wisdom, and we will continue to discuss the big decisions among the three of us. But we have also agreed to clarify our individual roles so there's clear responsibility and accountability at the top of the company. Larry will now lead product development and technology strategy, his greatest strengths, and starting from April 4 he will take charge of our day-to-day operations as Google's Chief Executive Officer. In this new role I know he will merge Google's technology and business vision brilliantly. I am enormously proud of my last decade as CEO, and I am certain that the next 10 years under Larry will be even better! Larry, in my clear opinion, is ready to lead. -Article From ReadWriteWeb.
