@googlenews on Twitter
Google News aggregates stories from over 25,000 news sources updated continuously. Goolge has launched yesterday an additional channel to follow the news by posting links to top stories as they become available on the new googlenews Twitter account.
As with the Google News homepage, users can click on any headline that interests them and go directly to the site which published that story.
I am working on Search Engine Optimization for our corporate site www.kds.com. The complexity of it is limitless. Seems like the only things that really work is links, links and links. As Wired said it a while ago: “Think about how Google works. When you type in a term, the search engine puts the site with the most links pointing toward it at the top of the list.
That means bloggers and discussion boards are extremely powerful in influencing Google’s search results, because bloggers and discussion-board posters are promiscuous linkers, constantly pointing to things they love or hate.
Google hoovers up those links and makes recommendations based on them. Jason Goldberg may prefer that people didn’t read that Herald Tribune story, but it doesn’t matter. Tons of bloggers and online writers have decided to link to it, and they have the final word. Companies have watched their biggest screw-up’s quickly migrate to the top of a Google search.”
Now I am playing with a tool that seems pretty handy to automate search engine submissions, keyword search etc, it’s called IBP (iBusiness Promoter). Will tell you how well it works soon!
A l’image du lancement de Google Chrome, j’ai utilisé une BD pour le lancement d’une solution de gestion des voyages et des notes de frais.
Le concept à été un succès. Sur les salons les BD sont rapidement parties. Les brochures produits, elles, non… Les gens lisent et comprennent ce que fait l’outil. Avez-vous jamais vu quelqu’un lire une plaquette marketing ? Par la suite nous avons décliné l’idée sur un stand parapluie. Là encore pour les salons c’est parfait. Une vignette par idée…
Google has recently added a new cool feature to its Mobile Map application: Latitude.
Available in version 3.01 of Mobile Map this enhancement lets you share your location and track the one of your friends.
Once installed on your smart phone (Latitude is available for most platform), you enter your Google account information and start inviting friends to track you and be tracked. A Igoogle widget lets you monitor your friends whereabouts and up-date your status and location directly from your PC.
Various level of privacy can be set for each friend. You can decide to share exact street level location, just the city name or no information at all.
I can see how some parents may be delighted to enable this new free Google service on their kid’s phone. I can also imagine some very interesting professional usages. One has, however, to pause for a second and wonder of the implication of being constantly tracked. Google wants to be reassuring. User control everything that goes out… They say. Right, but let me believe however that nothing is for free. When will we start getting advertisement in the form of text message when passing in front of a store?
Once again I admire google for this new successful bit of software that we are freely letting peek a bit more closely into our daily life.
That said, yes I too have installed it on my Blackberry. And I love it.
