Eric Schmidt said in a December 30, 2013 Engaget interview "my biggest mistake at Google was not anticipating social".

My response at the time: No, Schmidt, your biggest mistake was failing to realize that vast hoards of highly detailed and categorized personal data are not only an asset, but a tremendous liability.

Or as I put it: "Schmidt: My biggest mistake is still not realizing my biggest mistake"
