In a recent video where Matt Cutts aims to address the German webmaster community, he shares some information about Google -- about how he discovered his first spam site, how being creative, quick, focused on a specific niche may put you ahead of the game, how Google Webmaster Tools rocks, how white-hat SEO is the best way of "getting away with" anything on Google, how Google is handling more difficult queries (since user expectations are changing) and his personal preferences: gadgets, Ubuntu, and plugins, among others.
The 10 minute video is below:
It's definitely an interesting video to watch, and Matt is a great public face for Google.
Forum discussion continues at Sphinn and Cre8asite Forums.

Great video! If you stay on the "white hat" track, then you should have great long term seo results...some things never change!
