Summary
The Made by Google event this week bore little resemblance to previous product launches, feeling instead like a live taping of TV show The Tonight Show, according to The Verge’s deputy editor, Thomasford continued:
It had a “parade of influencers”, including Jimmy Fallon, who “interviewed” Google’s devices and services executive Rick Osterloh, and a “warm-up comic” trying to whip up the crowd.
