Google Ocean..?

-



According some rumors.. Google is releasing a new version of Google Earth? or will presenting a new product rumored to be called "Google Ocean"??

Apparently Google invited a bunch of oceanography experts last December 2007 to discuss creating a 3D oceanographic map. And now, rumors are flying on what might result.

Since they just released the new ocean imagery a week ago, but it sure makes sense.

The power of the Internet and the Web 2.3!

-



The Vision of Barack Obama and the Inauguration was the fuse for the big change and the coming biggest changes. People weren't just sitting back and watching President Barack Obama's inauguration yesterday. They were commenting on Twitter, sharing information on Facebook and turning to Google in significant numbers to find live video and audio of inauguration activities in Washington D.C.

"Live TV shifted from a passive to a social/interactive experience and underscored the power of the internet to deliver video programming to a massive number of users simultaneously." according to Media analyst Rich Greenfield.

The numbers and some of the comments from users should cause traditional video providers-broadcasters and cable systems to reevaluate how they operate in a world where content is available on the web.

CNN and Facebook were the biggest winners in terms of streams served and Starbucks was arguably the biggest winner on the marketing side, as its new video ad aired on CNN.com Live directly after President Obama left the stage.

And this is only the start...


PS: I was reading this article with skepticism. I think that is an old fashion article. I think that IT and general technology helps Obama's point of view and his vision. But opposite, this and this article are the real future written in a article.

Take a minute to watch the video and get involved:

The challenges our country faces are too great for us to sit on the sidelines.

Thanks

I'm not American..I'm Greek.

But, i think that Barack is "The Future of Humanity" and not the Future of America. Why??..

In the world of revolution, of Citizen Journalism, Social communities etc.., Barack is The "Citizen President", the "Open" President, the Innnovator, the Techno-President, the Social President.

Me and all the VIT* people all over the world are supporters of Barack. Why?? (..to be continued)

 Some words from his letter

"

......

 Fortunately, after further testing, my doctors think they have found the cause—a hormone imbalance that has been “robbing” me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy. ...... I will continue as Apple’s CEO during my recovery....

I have given more than my all to Apple for the past 11 years now. I will be the first one to step up and tell our Board of Directors if I can no longer continue to fulfill my duties as Apple’s CEO. I hope the Apple community will support me in my recovery and know that I will always put what is best for Apple first.

Design a Greener Gadget

-

Designs should seek to minimize the environmental impact of consumer electronic devices at any stage in the product lifecycle. Areas of sustainability to consider include energy, materials/lifecycle/recycling, social impact, and educational development. Designers can focus on a particular area of human enterprise (learning, playing, communicating, etc.), or a particular context (work, home, school, etc.), a particular material, or a specific device. Entries may also seek to create new paradigms for products and services.

The 2009 job market..

Why is this time around for online advertising different?

-

 For starters, online has come of age as a medium since the early 2000s. IAB President Randall Rothenberg observed recently that in a typical recession, "above-the-line dollars [move] below the line." When budgets are tight, pay-as-you-go approaches (say, point-of-sale promotion) are more appealing than betting on what may come (mass-market TV spots). In the last recession, online advertising had yet to prove itself as a bona fide option, above or below the line. Now, it's credibly done both.

  Second, the brightest aspects of online advertising's appeal are the special strengths of digital as an ad medium. One is accountability. That's what continues to give search advertising its momentum, fueling the growth (albeit slowing) of market leader Google. Every marketer can determine what a search-based "click-through" is worth by calculating the impact on sales. It helps, too, that marketers pay only for search ads that result in a click-through. No surprise, search will expand by a healthy 15% in 2009. Another attribute of digital is the compelling user experiences based on rich integrated media formats and built-in interactivity. That's why industry analysts expect spending on online video ads to grow by a robust 45% next year, revised down only slightly from earlier estimates.

 Third, it's an iron law of marketing that word of mouth is the most powerful medium that money can't buy. Online environments are, of course, rapidly becoming social media, where word-of-mouth communications travel at lightning speed and exert ever more influence on consumer behavior. No one, including social networking giants Facebook and MySpace (NWS), has cracked the code on word of mouth—or its monetization. But that doesn't mean they're not trying. Thanks to the huge numbers of business people who use it, Facebook has overtaken LinkedIn as a top business networking site. It's testing B2B marketing concepts like the recently introduced "VISA Business Network," which enables small business owners to interact with one another and advertise efficiently on the site. Last summer, MySpace also began targeting small businesses with a self-service model for advertising placement. (Only 1 million of 23 million small businesses in the U.S. advertise in any way online.)

 Fourth, marketers are spending digital dollars to create "earned" rather than "paid" ad placements. Paid placements occur when brands buy ad space from existing online publishers. Earned placements often require that brand marketers create media vehicles of their own. Sometimes, earned media can take shape as the online equivalent of guerrilla marketing, in which brands create engaging online experiences—such as Pedigree's Dogs Rule Web site, which, with its agency TBWA\Chiat\Day, created a multifaceted online hub of services, community, and videos for owners and lovers of dogs. Others are less playful and more sobering, like Chevron's (CVX) partnership with the Economist Group to create Energyville, an online game designed to educate consumers about trade-offs between global energy resources and demands and their environmental implications.
