Google's Mayer: It's Still Early Days for Location Technology

In today’s Media Beat video, Mediabistro’s Donya Blaze spoke with Google’s VP of consumer products Marissa Mayer about location-based technology and its prospects. Research has shown that users haven’t flocked to location-based apps like Google Places. Mayer says that everyone is still trying to get a feel for what they offer.

Mayer also talks about her new role with the company and Google’s thwarted bid to purchase Groupon.
