Matt Cutts on the future of search: “Mobile will be big”

In the latest GWC video on YouTube, Matt Cutts, Google’s head of Webspam team, is answering a question about the future of search in the next few years.

According to him, search as we know it today is nowhere near done.

He explains that Google’s main ambition is to index more kind of contents, such as books, online calendars, and everything “in the cloud”.

He ended the video with a few words about mobile search. Since there are more than 4 billion mobile phones in the world versus 1 billion desktop computers, he sees a lot of potential growth in that area of search. “You’re going to see all kind of changes but mobile is going to be a big part of it”.

Let’s look forward to it.
