In that conversation I had not mentioned to Matt that I might mention his comments in a blog post. He later asked to clarify, which I did via a mini-interview.

That presented an opportunity for a mini interview about Google’s position on toolbar data.

Basically, he said that at this time, Google is not using toolbar data. Hey Chris,

On my way out of the conference today I ran into Matt and he wanted to clarify that, “it doesn’t make sense to use toolbar data because it could be manipulated.” Basically, he said that at this time, Google is not using toolbar data.

It was a good thing they were letting in “guests” of people on the list or I think there would have been only half as many people there. Good for you Yahoo in doing this as Microsoft has really shot itself in the foot at SES conferences by being uber strict with their “invite only” events.
