Google CEO Eric Schimdt was not the only web company figure to deliver a commencement address yesterday. Yahoo Co-founder Jerry Yang spoke at the University of Hawaii at Hilo.
Yang's speech had a different tone that Schmidt's. Whereas Schmidt discussed everything from cheesesteak to the meaning of life, Yang jumped in with a tone suggesting that things aren't as bad as they seem.
Eric Schmidt gave a commencement address at the University of Pennsylvania yesterday. The full video is below, but I have pulled out some of the good quotes from it (there were quite a few).
He begins with congratulations and talks about how great Penn is, and how there are 250 alumni who work at Google. He says it's the most desirable place for Google to hire interns because the "quality of graduates is the best in the world."
Google co-founder Larry Page gave a quite inspirational speech at the University of Michigan the other day, and the Google Press Center found it so great, they decided to release it to the public.
The entire thing is transcribed here (and the video's below), but to sum it up, it's about following your dreams to make a difference. At least that's what I got out of it.
