Michael Arrington outs Google's Marissa Mayer as user of Foursquare

During this interesting and wide-ranging interview at LeWeb in Paris, and between TechCrunch Founder and Editor Michael Arrington and Google VP Marissa Meyer, Arrington outed Meyer as a user of the location-based mobile service Foursquare. It's a competitor to Google's Latitude service, which Arrington says is "pretty bad."

Beyond that exchange, which starts at the 9:30 mark in the video, Mayer talks about her new role with the search giants in consumer product development, and something she's working on called Contextual-Based Search, as well as the Nexus S, containing the latest and fastest version of the Android Operating System, called Gingerbread.

In CBS, information is "pushed" to you based on your location and browser used. Just how it will work, the UI, or "User Interface," is being developed.

Meyer uses the talk to promote a ton of Google products, as well as the over explanation that "social is important" to Google. Michael kind of "busts" Meyer here, because Google has had more failures than successes in the social category. But Meyer makes it clear that Google wants to get it right.

Finally, we are treated to a cool demo of the Nexus S, and its amazing maps app.
