If he had another chance, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt would have pressed the Internet search leader to focus more on mounting a challenge to Facebook while he was still running the company.
“I screwed up,” Mr. Schmidt said late on Tuesday during a 75-minute question-and-answer session at the D- All Things conference in Rancho Palos Verde, California. The Associated Press watched a webcast of the conference.
Mr. Schmidt’s admission comes nearly two months after he ended his decade—long stint as Google’s CEO and became the company’s executive chairman. He was replaced by Google co—founder Larry Page, who is pushing the company’s employees to develop more ways to connect people with their friends and family like Facebook already does.
For users like me, who use both plus others too, it doesn't make any difference, if there is a healthy competition.
