Google Does Not Plan to Be Left Behind – Buzz

Although they have had no choice lately, Google has announced its plans to take ‘what it does best’, which is organizing web content by relevancy, and apply this same method to social media formats. Social media is notoriously perhaps one of the most disorganized aspects of the internet.

They plan to begin tying the Gmail Web Interface in with social media status updates and other forms of sharing technology. This may just be one more attempt at Google’s ever present need to convince any internet users that for any aspect of the net available, Google has one better, but only time will tell.

According to Google engineers, someone at least has to try. Considering that a lot of the world’s vital internet information is shared among Google’s top players alone, it may be more than a bit behind the times to begin delving into the social media world that even they could have been taking advantage of for this long.

Google has now integrated Google mail, known as Gmail, with Buzz which allows users to share their links on Twitter, Flickr, Google Reader and more. This allows you to see business and personal activity of those who are active in your Gmail buzz list.

Developers at Google believe that they can build their own advantage in social medias by continuing to focus and concentrate on relevant and high ranking material, even within social networks. Not only can you see the activities of those on your follow list, but you can also see the activities of those on their lists if they like or share information.

Google Buzz users will also be able to begin to train their own algorithms by selecting if something is recommendable, or whether you just are ‘not interested’ in the information presented.  This may provide a new aspect for social media lovers in the fact that they can eliminate posts such as those about someone’s private life or dinner recipes and only follow the information in a certain niche that will only get more perfected with more use.

One month after users went ballistic over the Facebook privacy update changes may have been a bit too early for Zuckerberg to declare that if given the chance to start over, he would have made these recent decisions right from the start. Claiming that it is the social norm, he shares that the new changes are still optional, but urges users to take advantage of the suggested options Facebook now provides.

Most users enjoy sharing their Facebook pages, status updates and personal information with those they dub important friends, acquaintances and even co-workers. And there are yet others who prefer to share their information with as many people as they can add to their follower list, without a care for who may be able to access their personal information such as location, age and cell phone numbers.

There are of course supporters who remind everyone that no one is forced to enter this information, and doing so may in fact be a risk even if your only followers are close friends and family.

Most will agree though that it should remain the users choice as to whom and what areas they are willing to share their private information with. While it seems that Facebook has decided that they will begin to make some decisions of various sorts on behalf of their billions of users.

FaceBook is Trapped

In essence, Facebook is actually trapped by its own conventions as well. Since it is a social networking tool, just like any other goldmine of private information, it is begging to be utilized to shove user specific information in front of those specific users. They want country music concert tickets advertisements to show up for those Facebook fans who regularly favorite, like or otherwise promote country music.

Although it is a bit of privacy invasion, just as with the private personal information you enter into Facebook’s profile system, no one says you have to buy the tickets either, as appealing as they may be to you specifically.

It looks like the new propeller chip will be an incredible addition to our current application technology. This chip contains eight processors or cogs, that can operate simultaneously, cooperatively, or even independently. This allows them to share common resources from a central hub.

This new chip allows developers to retain full control over when and how each seperte cog is utilized. Its shared system timer keeps each cog on the same time reference which ultimately allows for true deterministic synchronization. It will also come with two different programming languages. Propeller Assembly, and Spin. Propeller Assembly can execute up to 160 MIPs per cog.

Who Will Use Propeller?

Propeller is a highly diverse chip that will be used by many different industries such as process control engineering and even robotics manufacturers. Due to its on-board video capability as well as easy connectivity to common PC peripherals, it is fair to say that many industries from the largest to the home based creators will take advantage of Propeller.

Many other areas where Propeller will be of benefit can include:

• Art
• Hobbies
• Home Applications
• Medical
• Science
• Industrial

What Do You Need to Get Started?

You will of course need the Propeller Chip as well as a USB Serial connection to the chip. Some boards and modules may actually require a prop plug for integration while others have the capability built-in. For hobbyist or students, it is recommended to try out the Propeller Starter Kit or the Propstick USB version.

Propeller will also come with a few very handy development tools enabling users from beginners to power-users to take advantage of the possibilities this chip will provide. You do not have to know programming language to use Propeller.

Many companies are already on-board with Propeller and utilizing it daily in their own industrial, creative and even medical settings.

Do not be so quick to be someone your not, thats the growing trend in social media. If people want a phony sales pitch or a perfect product in it’s most ideal enviroment, then they will visit your website.

Social Media is about connecting and communicating, expect big things from the time you put in. As more people turn to social media it is going to be important that you treat them like you would should they be sitting in front of you, and like they are a friend. I expect that if you think of social media as a communication tool that just allows you another way to talk (conversation = two directional) you will find success in whatever your selling.
