Title: Google After Web Search -- The Other 4.99998 Exabytes

Abstract:

Google's search infrastructure is making it easy for people everywhere
to access lots and lots of web data.  As the company goes into its
second decade, it is transitioning from "Search and Ads" to "Search,
Ads, and Applications."  In this talk, I'll describe this transition,
some of its technological implications for systems, and a few areas
for high-impact research.
