represent the needs of larger groups of users, in
terms of their goals and personal characteristics.
• They act as 'stand-ins' for real users and help guide
decisions about functionality and design
Personas identify the user motivations, expectations
and goals responsible for driving online behavior, and
bring users to life by giving them names, personalities
and often a photo

Google then combines sophisticated text-matching techniques to find videos
that are both important and relevant to your search. Our technology examines
dozens of aspects of the video’s content (including number of hits and rating) to
determine if it’s a good match for your query.”
