Archive for the ‘Web’ CategoryFacebook and Twitter ‘help to politicize’ today’s youthTuesday, March 1st, 2011The web, social networking in particular, is helping to politicize younger people, according to the University of California’s Humanities Research Institute.

      Google Cloud Connect Brings MS Office Files to Google’s CloudFriday, February 25th, 2011
Of course, if you’re an avid Office user, then you know that Office 2010 is absolutely worth the upgrade, especially when combined with their hosted or on-premise collaboration solutions. However, if you just create documents or bang away on spreadsheets or live for DBP (Death by PowerPoint), then all the nifty doodads in Office 2010 don’t mean much. For these users, Google is happy to help them automatically load standard Office documents into Google’s cloud and enable collaboration via Google Docs. On Thursday, Google announced that this feature was available in all Google Apps domains, giving legions of Office-using, fence-sitting, Google Apps-dabbling users Nicorette for their desktop applications.

Google Updates Social SearchFriday, February 18th, 2011
Google hopes to deploy more compelling social offerings this year and its latest effort along these lines demonstrates at least that the company is serious about social connectivity. Google is weaving social into search, its core service. Google on Thursday said that it has begun mixing social content — friends’ posts to various services like YouTube, Flickr and the like — with its algorithmically determined search results. So if your friends blog or tweet about their favorite coffee shops, your searches for coffee will return their musings, provided your friends aren’t posing somewhere that Google can’t reach, like past Facebook’s privacy settings. Previously, social search results were more like the dregs of relevance, settling at the bottom of the search results page were they were less likely to be noticed. Bookmark/Search this post with:
