With the Google Project Glass dominating the news when it comes to Google in the past week it is clear that Google is not just focussing on search anymore, but that they are mainly a technology company now. And if you talk Google and Technology you have to talk about Vint Cerf.
In this Friday Talk Cerf (VP & Chief Internet Evangelist, Google) discusses the changing world of technology today. It’s a talk from the “Atmosphere 2011” Google conference from November last year in which “the cloud” was the central topic. (more…)
Now Social Media has a lot of influence on what the world looks like these days, but does Social Media mean the end of a gender? Deputy Director of the Norman Lear Center, Johanna Blakley makes this statement in this TED Talk.
As social media outgrows traditional media, and women users outnumber men, Blakley explains what changes are in store for the future of media. (more…)
At the last SMX West Susan Wojcicki, Google SVP of Advertising, talked to Danny Sullivan and Chris Shermen about the growth of search advertising, integrating search into your overall marketing strategy and provide peek into upcoming Google product releases. (more…)
We all want to predict the future and we do that by looking at the past and the present. Many businesses think they have the key to the future.
Gerd Leonhard, founder of GreenFuturists.com talks about how many businesses still get it wrong and how connected and sharing is important.
This week in Barcelona the biggest technology driven event takes in Europe place in Barcelona. Mobile is what you at the moment could call the leading technology. Google knows that and wants to be in the center of where it all happens so is moving mobile quickly.
That is why Eric Schmidt, who doesn’t do that many actual keynotes, decided it was ok to take the stage in Barcelona. Below you will find the entire talk, which not surprisingly has a lot of “Android” written all over it.
This talk is a TedX talk from Senior Vice President for Edelman Digital who has done social media, marketing and business strategy for multiple clients such as eBay, BlackBerry, and PepsiCo. At this TedxTalk he talks about re-inventing Social Media. Or re-venting the wheel? You decide.
Olivier Blanchard is what one would call a “Social Media Guru”. Blanchard wrote several books, amongst which “Social Media ROI”. Earlier this month he talked in Amsterdam about the future of social business.
If you would like to see the slides you can find them here.
With 2012 just starting its interesting to see if predictions for 2011 came through or not. At LeWeb 2010, just before the end of the year, Jeremiah Owyang talked about trends for 2011.
He talked about “Social Media And Big Business” in 2011. Was he right? What do you think?
Most people either love or hate Gary Vaynerchuk. But whether you like him or not, there is no denying he is a successful entrepreneur who knows how to use the web.
Vaynerchuk is a passionate speaker so his talks will keep you awake. And trust me, you will have fun and learn something. Take a look at his talk at Inc 500 Seminar 2011.
Because of the enormous amount of news last week we skipped one Friday Talk to come back with a bang. Today you can bookmark this page and safe it to take an hour and twenty minutes somewhere this weekend to sit back and listen to Andrew Hogue who now heads up search at FourSquare, but who at the time of this presentation last year was working for Google on Google Squared. He discusses entities and will give you an insight in what we can expect the next few years. Enlightening!
In this Friday Talk we enter the Google Plex, where many authors come and visit and talk about their books. One of these authors was Lawrence Lessig, who wrote “Republic, Lost”.
Lessig vividly champions the idea that we can succeed if we accept that corruption is our common enemy and that we must find a way to fight against it. In Republic, Lost, he not only makes this need palpable and clear-he gives us the practical and intellectual tools to do something about it.
