[Bonnie Lawlor]

Register Now:   A Fresh Look at Google: What's New and What's Changing - An
NFAIS Webinar Scheduled for September 26th

 

With more than 12 billion searches processed per month[i], Google continues
to dominate the search arena. But today Google is more than search. It
offers mobile devices as well as tools for social networking, collaboration,
communication, and document creation. With a focus on the convergence of
content, technology, and people, Google continues to leverage industry
trends in order to maintain market dominance and end-user loyalty.  So what
is new on their horizon?

 

On September 26, 2012 NFAIS will hold a 90 minute webinar to provide an
update on the Google landscape.  John Blossom, President, Shore
Communications, Inc, will offer insights on the new approaches and
directions he is observing in Google products and services, on the strengths
of their platform, and on what he sees changing as Google continues to
evolve.

 

Some of the topics that will be covered are 1) Google's Operating System,
Chrome, and how it is shaping our view of computing, the Web, and our
relationship to emerging forms of the Semantic Web; 2) The impact of
mobility and choice of devices (Desktop (Chromebox), laptop (Chromebook),
and tablet (Nexus 7); 3) Google's On-Going Platform Integration (Google
Plus, Knowledge Graph, Scholar, Play, YouTube, Gmail, and Drive); and 4)
Anticipated new (Google Fiber) and soon to-be-discontinued (iGoogle)
services.   


If you or your staff want to take a fresh look at Google, its current and
future directions, and perhaps learn how your organization can better meet
industry trends, register for the NFAIS webinar today.  NFAIS members pay
$105, Sister Society members pay $115, and non-members pay $125.  An
