Sorry - I don't think this guy is as clued up as he thinks he is. And being the former head of "Google South Africa" (a tiny little office with no real development going on as far as I know), does not give him enormous credibility either.
You are attacking the man and not his statement. Would you care to elaborate on why you think he is spewing BS?
For the record, I don't think he is very clued up either, but I do think there is some truth in his statement that google search is hurting. In fact more and more of my non-geek friends are getting into the mindset that internet==facebook. (Yes, this is anecdotal, unfortunately this is all I have --- maybe the head of Google SA has seen some actual data that confirms this?)
