If you know what you want, you use Google. But if you don't know what you want, and you want to be surprised and find something you didn't expect, we want you come to StumbleUpon. Really, that idea of being a discovery engine versus a search engine.

The Internet's great promise is to make the world's information universally accessible and useful.

Google indexes the world's information.

I think the search engines are the new equivalent of publishing: an enabler of information.

I think that ultimately over time we really should strive for a place where most information is available online and is searchable.

All the information in the world has been pretty dispersed, but Google's mission has been to organize it and make it universally accessible.

The world is really run by the Web. There's so much information out there that you can click and keep going down the rabbit hole finding stuff.

Search as a paradigm will continue to be probably even increasingly important because the information that's out there is only going to grow exponentially - and the only way to sort through all that is by some form of search.

The largest issue with search is that we learned about it when the web was young, when the universe was 'complete' - the entire web was searchable! Now our digital lives are utterly fractured - in apps, in walled gardens like Facebook, across clunky interfaces like those in automobiles or Comcast cable boxes.
