Thanks to everyone at Google’s LA Satellite Offices for letting me be part of the launch effort! You can read more about Google- here: bit.ly You can also add me to one of your circles of Google+…IF YOU WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET AN INVITE. If you’ve read this far, you’ve probably realized that I am totally kidding. I think social networking sites are ridiculous, and I never know what to do when I get there, except deny friend requests from random creepers, get quietly pissed off at my friends for adding me to events that send out constant reminders, and puzzle over wall posts that are supposedly from people I know, although I swear to God, I have no idea who these people are. I hope you enjoyed this little spoof. You can follow me on twitter here: www.twitter.com Or check out my DistrictLines store here: www.districtlines.com Or “like” my fan page on Facebook: www.facebook.com My books: www.knightleyacademy.com Also also also! I got a Canon 60D! Finally. Video quality WAY better than the Vixia.

Google Buzz: A New Social Marketing Tool

]]>

While Google has long held top search engine and is huge in advertising and marketing, it has never been able to break into social networking in a meaningful way. That is all going to change with the advent of Google Buzz.

What is Google Buzz?

Google is adding social feature to their products to create common tools for building social applications. The company believes it can help users sort through the massive amounts of information they face each day to find meaningful conversations. Recent additions to the Google lineup include real-time searching and Social Search.

Google envisions Google Buzz as a completely open software platform. The company is sharing information with developers and asking them to join Google and creating code for the project. With the help of developers, there is a good chance Google can eke out a niche in the social networking landscape.

Innovations of Google Buzz

One of the differences in Google Buzz is that it is built into Gmail (Google’s email application). Similar to other social networking applications, Google Buzz allows users to follow their friends online, and it allows users to integrate photos, videos, and Internet links. Picasa, Flickr, Youtube, Blogger, and Twitter were already fully integrated into Google Buzz with more social networking integration likely in the future.

One of the innovations of Google Buzz on smart phones is that it takes GPS information from the cell phone and uses it to tag information with where you were when you shared the information. The information is carried through a “Buzz Layer” in Google Maps. Your followers will know who you are, what you know, and where you are.

A Potential Issue

This leads us to perhaps the one potential problem for Google in rolling out the new system. Some people worry about privacy. Google has a reputation for overlooking privacy concerns as when it enabled Google Reader to automatically send friends information that users wanted to keep private.

The factor that might determine whether Google Buzz is the next big idea or the next big flop is if users can sufficiently control their information. Although we are going through a social information revolution, there are still individuals and companies who choose privacy over connectivity.

If you are automatically provided Google Buzz like I have through gmail, I suggest you take a measured approach. Place your privacy setting on the most conservative possible until we fully understand the power and limitations of this new social marketing tool.

Google’s New Buzz in the Social Networking Community

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Google’s New Buzz in the Social Networking Community





Google creates so many new applications that it can be somewhat difficult to keep track of them. Google’s new Buzz program is their first full-fledged foray into the world of social networking. In my opinion, everyone should have a Google account by now so that you can take advantage of all their free programs.

If you have a Google or Gmail account then you are already a member of Buzz. Gmail has had their version of the status update since they created the chat function. Your status update was simply the caption that was under your name and photo. However, these captions could only be viewed if you were signed into Gmail and chat.

With Buzz, you can now follow the status updates of those you follow and comment on their posts. Buzz creates an environment conducive to establishing open and continuous dialogue between connections. While Buzz will not likely become as popular as Facebook or Twitter, it will surely advance beyond the basic system it is right now.

As I said – I think everyone should have a Google account. However, not everyone has an account with Google or a Gmail email account. This is one major strike against Buzz – your social network is limited to those with existing Google accounts. If someone does not have a Google account then they cannot be a part of your social network. This could possibly be improved in the future if contacts from other platforms could somehow be integrated. For example, perhaps contacts from AOL Instant Messenger, Facebook or Microsoft Messenger could a part of the Buzz community.

If you use Gmail as your business email account then there is a great potential for utilizing Buzz as a social and business-networking tool. You can stay in touch with clients, friends (we all know that some of our best customers are friends and family) and associates by updating your status with business-related information. For example, if you get a new product in stock or are announcing a sale or new marketing promotion, you can make these types of announcements on Buzz.

Remember, as with anything in the web 2.0 landscape, your Buzz updates have the potential to go viral. If
one of your friends copies your sale update and posts it on his status then all of his friends see it and maybe one of them re-posts it or shares on their Facebook or Twitter account. Soon, multitudes of people can see what’s up with your business and if you’re lucky they will click-thru to your website. If you’re really lucky the link will convert and you will make some sales. The advent of social networking has brought back a personal touch to business that has been somewhat missing since the Internet became such a major marketplace. Although Google Buzz is currently in the beginning stages of development, it has the potential to become a valuable networking and promotional tool, especially with Google’s new social search functions.

 

Now Pay Close Attention –

Using your Facebook Fan Page to increase your business exposure and revenue is simpler than you’ve been told. Everyone with a facebook fan page faces the same two problems:

[Problem #1] How To Find Interested Facebook Users
