Yes Google Really is Trying to Take over the World
- 1. SMUG Google. Yes they really are trying to take over the world. March 1, 2012
- 3. A brief history of a Verb Company • Founded in 1997—search • Do No Evil. The epitome of cool • Doodles • Swedish Chef is a search language. • They had a company dog. Really.
- 5. A brief history continued • Gradually Expanding: News, Images, Maps, Earth • Still all based on search • In 2006 The O.E.D adds ―google‖ as a verb. • Slowly starts to work into content: YouTube, Blogger, Docs,
- 6. The Next Step-Communities • Bringing people together around that content they are creating • Some communities emerged organically • Saw the success of others & wanted some of that • Need to be where people spend time on web. $$$$$$ • But….when it comes to making social connections…Google finds it stinks at it.
- 8. Then came the wave
- 9. Other Failures • Orkut • Google Friend Connect • While Facebook and Twitter are going great guns people start wondering if Google will ever figure it out • And then…..
- 10. TahDah!
- 11. It seems to be working • 90 million users in less than a year • Android phones driving growth b/c of Gmail • 850K new Android activations a day, says Google • Celebs: Britney Spears. Dolly Parton. Carmelo Anthony. Mark Cuban. Wil Wheaton. Metallica. Martha Stewart. Snoop Dogg.
- 12. Google Plus • Finally a real Competitor to Facebook? • Group Your Contacts into Circles • Your content goes only where you tell it to go • You can choose to view only content coming in from specific circles too • Privacy (more on this in a bit)
- 13. Google Plus Does Video and More • Hangouts and excellent video conferencing features. • Everyone from President Obama to the Muppets have done a Hangout • Longer Posts- More of a Blog Feel • +1 button– ―Like‖ but deeper
- 14. How can we use it in Higher Ed? • Put classes/sections in a circle, create targeted content/discussions • Admissions- chat with prospects • Use it as a photo gallery • Have campus figure/dean etc do a hangout • Retention • Engagement
- 15. Drawbacks • Is it FacebookLite? ~ 10% of user base • Analytics seem to be non-existent • Privacy Concerns w/ new Google Policy. • How should you use it?
- 16. It’s a ghost town
- 17. Brockport on G+ • https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/1024111164 33260313400/102411116433260313400/p osts • No vanity URLs yet.
- 18. Proof Google Wants to Take Over • Google TV • Self-driving Car • Google Glasses • Green Energy Projects
- 19. Questions? • @dtyler321 • Google+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/10222456016308 2374108/posts
Notas do Editor
- LA Times: Collecting data and store it in one place. Looks at you as a single user across all platforms. Goes into effect today. Pissing some people off, including European governments. Data Liberation front.
- 3 minutes a month? Not as vibrant as FB or Twitter. Is it doomed?
