Have you heard the latest slip up from the BBC? Apparently this morning on the BBC Breakfast show, a Mr Watson mistakenly called Google a browser! Yes you read right, while talking in the business feature about Google’s growth and the issues surrounding behavioural targeting, Chris Watson was quoted saying that if a user did not like Google they could “close the browser and use a different one”.
Of course we all know that Google is in fact the most popular search engine and one of the most popular websites throughout the world. However it is easy to sit here and criticise, I wasn’t up at the crack of dawn with the pressure of thousands of people watching me and listening to my every word while sweating under the bright studio lights. So I feel for Mr Watson, if I was making a blunder like that, I would hope I wasn’t on national television at that unfortunate time!
