With all of the assets it has, Google + is believed to conquer the popularity of Facebook. This belief is exhaled by the developers who seemed impatient to be creative on the networking site made by Google it. Although Facebook has been inhabited by 750 million + users and Google is still far behind (in the range of 20 million new users), but because guarded by the internet giant, Google + is believed to bring the competition is fierce.



A total of 1621 respondents surveyed by IDC Appcelerator and pelted with questions, "Is Google can beat Facebook?" And as much as two thirds of them answered "Yes". The reason they can be convinced of the power of Google, said 68% of two-thirds of the respondents is that Google owns assets such as YouTube, and other folders.

Although so far Google has not released the API, but this did not dampen the desire developer or developers to create programs for these services. As many as 72% of respondents said they plan to be creative in the API of Google + within 12-18 months. However the developers also have plans to leave Facebook for granted, the evidence of 83% said they would use the tools and Facebook services in their applications this year. For the microblogging site Twitter, its place in the rank-2 by collecting the 'consent' as much as 73%.

So what is a magnet for Google + for the developer? In addition because it offers many features that are different from Facebook is Circles, Sparks and Hangouts, developers also believe that Google will mix in Google + Android operating system. Quoted from Cnet News, Thursday (8/4/2011), with this concoction will also rise up to facilitate developers to create programs for Android devices.

Goole had indeed failed Grupon acquired last year, but that does not mean they give up. Internet giant has now reportedly been buying similar services, Dealmap.Not much different Grupon, and other deal sites. Dealmap also offers the kind of lucrative discounts to users every day. Uniquely, this site mapu offer discounts based on the location of visitors.


"We have the same strategy with Google, and Google's big names could be very helpful to us," said Jennifer Dulski, Founder Dealmap as quoted from the NYTimes, on Wednesday (03/08/2011).Dealmap headquartered in Menlo Park, California, United States. This company has been working with at least 450 vendors to present a religious type of discounts based on location. Until now the company is still a year old already has 15 employees with a user reaches 2 million.

"We are very impressed with what has been achieved by Dealmap team, and we are very proud to receive them in Goolge," wrote Google's statement.

Google needs at least 900 thousand servers to serve all users. However, the internet giant consumes only 0.01 percent of electricity from around the world supply.It was raised by Jonathan Koomey, just write down the results of his research on the usage of electrical power source for the data center.



"Google's data center uses only 0.01% of total electric which exist throughout the world, and less than 1% in 2010 ago," wrote Koomey, as quoted from the data center knowledge, Tuesday (08/02/2011).Google's own claim that they own the data center is designed to work more effectively, such as data storage systems which they called Spanner.

Design like this makes cross-platform data management quicker, this is very helpful since Google has a lot of online services. In addition Spanner also able to allocate the data on each hard drive automatically.
"Google's infrastructure is more efficient than in-house data center sharing. This means, not only making cloud computing more efiesien but also saving electricity," said Koomey

Google project Mega Plus (G +), but intended for individual users and the public, is planned to be used by businesspeople. While the G + features for business not exist, there are some creative ways for businesses to take advantage of G +.On one occasion, Christian Oestlien, Google Plus Product Manager, said that although Google's main focus now is to optimize the user experience, but they also have several teams with the best developers who are developing a business version of Google +.


For business people or companies who are interested to try it, can register on Google + Entity Application Profile for the invitation. Simply fill in the information as accurate and complete as possible.
It is estimated that the business version will also be launched first with a system of invitation (invitation only) and in a limited trial period (Field Trial) as Google + for individual users and the public. Google will verify against him and if it finds that the profile is fake, then the membership will be suspended and threatened revoked.

Currently the use of social networking to support the activities of the company is increasing. From a survey of 100 companies that made Fortune magazine (Fortune 100), the percentage of companies using social networking is Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and blog) is 65%, 54%, 50% and 33%. The number of companies around the world who use social networking as well as the fourth is 20%, with 28% in the United States, 15% in Europe, and 25% in Asia.

Business version has an estimated range of features leading Sales and Marketing Analytics and Google Adwords are Rich and integrated with other Google applications and services. By Rich Analytics expected the company can analyze the data and information website (home page, web pages, visitors, visiting hours, and others) to make strategic decisions that optimize a web site can be achieved. Level of sales, revenue and customer is expected to increase. Meanwhile, Adwords is a type of ads to be displayed to the right of search results when we use Google's search engine to look for something using a specific keyword.

Great hope that the Analytics business version will be more complete with administrative features for managing all the content is more friendly and easy to use, feature creation and addition of web pages are more numerous and varied. Actually, Google has a business version of Google's display showed some time ago. Uniquely, which is displayed on the home page version of the business, not only information about the fans, but also information of employees and company management. Company's address can be displayed through Google Maps and Places.

Using Google Offers, the company can provide or offer special programs to consumers, customers, partners and other business partners. For plusser, Sparks feature can be used to obtain the latest information regarding a particular company. Some other features that will most likely be available on the version of Google's business is meeting, Google and Google Whiteboard screencast. With Google's Meeting, the company can plan, conduct and document the conversation, text, and video during meetings or conferences held.

Meeting invitations can be created using Google Calendar, GMail and Google Chat. The display screen can be stored at meetings with Google screencast for the next meeting and may be disclosed to participants who could not attend.For presentation purposes, making the Minutes of Meeting and other supporting documents shared during meetings, can use Google Whiteboard with Google Docs. Participants are able to provide notes on a virtual whiteboard and notes can be sent to other participants via email or Google +.

For those who hope in the business version, for a time could use the Google + accounts for a company that had owned. Some features that can be exploited by a new company (startup) micro and small scale or simple organization will be discussed below. Creativity is the key word.

Communication Activities

Various communication content either text, sound and video can be accommodated. The form can be content for public consumption and private messages (private message) to the stream as well as email, chat with Google Chat and video conferencing with features Hangouts.

With the Circle feature, we can classify into one or several plusser Circle. A plusser can be in several Circle in a Circle and can accommodate several plusser. Plusser maximum amount that we can place it in the Circle and the maximum number of plusser in a Circle is the same that is 5000.

As an example implementation, we can make some of the Circle to existing departments and create a circle for an existing position (staff, officers, supervisors, managers and others). Because now the Circle is still private, where every plusser could only see Circlenya own, then the one with plusser Circle Circle plusser others should be the same.

Hangouts are the features that can be used free of charge to do video conferencing with business partners (distributors, dealers, retailers, suppliers, principals), headquarters, branch offices, as well as customers and other parties and available for free and without moderation. Maximum number of participants is 10 plusser.

If there plusser who feel disturbed, they can activate the mute feature. Video will automatically switch to plusser anyone who is speaking at the conference. Besides communication via chat is also possible during the conference.

Project Activities

If the company is working on a project with the main activities, support activities, job listings, including who will do it in charge can be documented using the Circle.

Circle will be a "virtual workplace" with the features mentioned above as a medium of communication. Various working parties can comment and share with the maximum number of 500 comments and 1000 shares for each of his post.

Work Activities

Work activities within the company can be delegated to specific departments and individuals. You do this by informing the work activity in the form of streams to a specific department using the Circle and also the name of the individual concerned, if necessary.

Although still a 'new stuff', it turns out Google + networking sites have managed to capture as many as 25 million visitors. According to comScore, Google + make this figure as the fastest site that won the audience of that size.She was launched in late June and on July 24, Google + has received requests from 25 million people. On the other hand, the Facebook site takes 3 years to get the number of unique visitors that much.
While the microblogging site Twitter, it took more than 30 months, so as quoted detikINET from Reuters on Wednesday (03/08/2011).


Country United States known to be the largest contributor to that figure, ie as many as 6.44 million visitors, followed by India with 3.62 million visitors.

Other countries namely Canada and Britain have 1 million unique visitors, Germany has more than 920,000 and Brazil has more than 780,000. France and Taiwan each have 500,000 unique visitors.

One thing to remember is that Google's skyrocketing + does not guarantee he will prevail for long. Just look at the networking site that was popular on the internet, MySpace.

Achievement of 25 million unique visitors in 2 years by MySpace, aka faster than Facebook and Twitter, do not make old age and now he has lost a lot of visitors.

 Who does not know Google, a search engine giant and the most popular on the internet today. However, already you know that there is a bit of interesting stories of two students who were behind the founding of Google. Larry Page and Sergey Brin, they are two mahasisiwa P.hD. Stanford University. Google was born from the meeting of two young men happened by accident in 1995. During the meeting, they both often involved lengthy discussions and both have different opinions and views so often involved debate. However, differences in thinking they are actually generating a unique approach in solving the greatest challenge to the world of computer time. It is the question how to recover data from massive data sets.


Google started the research project Larry Page and Sergey Brin in early 1996. They developed the theory that a search engine based on mathematical analysis. The relationship between these web sites will give better results than using the techniques contained base that is used at the time. In January 1996 they both started doing collaborative research in making search engine called BackRub. How it works is to use BackLink BackRub system to estimate how important a site. Because of how it works using the BackLink finally dinamakanlah BackRub. They both believe that the pages with the most BackLink to that page from the pages of other relevant web pages are the most relevant. One year later their unique approach of raising the reputation BackRub Network Analysis. The news about the new technique is the search engine directly spread to all corners of the Stanford University campus.

Throughout the beginning of 1998 they both continue to refine Technology BackRub (not named Google) and they also began looking for investors to develop the technological sophistication BackRub which is the foundation of their search engine. Finally, they also bring in investors from friends sekampus. He is Andy Bechtolsheim, who founded Sun Microsystems, their meeting place in the foyer dorm faculty at Stanford in Palo Alto is still early days. Then Larry Page and Sergey Brin gave a brief demo because Andy did not have much time. After seeing the demo Andy finally agreed to provide financial assistance in the form of a check worth $ 100,000.00 (one hundred thousand U.S. dollars). However, unfortunately these checks written on behalf of Google. Yet when it was the company Google has not been founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

Funds still in the form of checks that were eventually becomes a dilemma because they both could not melt the check is before there is an institution that was named the company Google. Remarkably, they both are not giving up the situation, it is evident that they both returned to work hard and unyielding in seeking investors / funders. Finally, these funds can be collected approximately $ 1,000,000.00 (One Million Dollars) setelahmereka seek from among family and peers. Google company. Inc. finally officially be envied on September 7, 1998 in their garage space rents at their friend's house in Menlo Park, California.

Then on the other hand there is a compelling story of naming the actual word Google is that Google comes from the word Googlo. The word was created by Milton Sirotta, nephew of mathematician Edward Kasner one from the U.S.. Milton Sirotta make Googlo term for the figure 1 (One) who followed 100 the number 0 (Zero) behind it. Therefore the use of the word Google is a reflection of the word Googlo. Let's see in search results the search engine Google, it will display its search results of our data where the number of digit 0 (Zero) will appear as a web obtained by the Google search engine results.

What a story and a very valuable lesson we can learn lesson from Acts 2 Students P.hD. Stanford University is. Where they are always eager to work hard and never give up in order to realize their dreams are. Even when the beginning of Google's stand, they both have to collect the computers used in order to meet the needs of their servers and they are willing to work day and night in the garage of their rental. Then when their search engine success compared to their competitors but not necessarily benefit them financially. At first, Google has offered to AltaVista for $ 1,000,000.00 (One Million Dollars) but was rejected, and then offered to Yahoo but was rejected as well, but now Google is the largest supplier of data to Yahoo for providing the data into their search engine.

Then when they have a capital gain, not necessarily Google's direct benefit. Even more than one year Google did not get anything, but after the discovery of a new advertising system in their search engines, then Google started to make a lot of dollars into their coffers.

What a life lesson story that we can take lesson that we too are always enthusiastic and never give up in doing any work, especially when doing business online requires patience and diligence as well as the above story can make our motivation to live a very enlightening. The story so that I can serve, if there is a lack beg friends to give extra. Thanks

Google has just released the latest version of Android Market. The online store with more than 100 thousand applications is now easier for users to find what they want. "You'll feel good knowing we have revolutionized the Android Market to make it faster, easier, and fun in finding applications, movies and books that are interesting," Google wrote in his blog post.


Quoted from TG Daily, the change in them, Google is creating more space to display some of the most interesting content in a week on the home page. "We added more items that top the chart with more new and relevant and we make users easier to swipe across this chart while browsing in the store application. Google has also introduced a new collection of compelling content such as staff picks and editors' choice apps," explains Google.

This update does Google after a lot of users who show discontent over the previous Android Market. Although a leader in online search, but Google let third-party applications store takes over and stepped over it.

For example, Amazon has its own application store for Android that is Amazon's AppStore. Giant online retailer Amazon is so aggressively introduce the AppStore and managed to convince a number of publishers releasing their applications mobile content exclusively through the application store.

Google will allow users to upload address book or address book to Google +. Users can import or move a contact list of his friends to new social networks. "We listened to feedback from users who want a more flexible way to find their friends on Google +," said Google Product Manager, Rohit Khare.

In a posting on the Google account + hers, Khare said that one of the most flexible tool is the address book uploader. But later, the imported contact list location will be separated with a list of Google's existing contacts. "And I want to tell the good news that this function is available immediately in the next few days," he continued.

With this new uploader, users can retrieve their address book - in csv format - or a vCard electronic business card and put it into Google +. "We hope this uploader address book helps users find new ways to find their friends. And keep giving us feedback, thank you for using Google +," he concluded.

Google + reportedly booming population. Launched a new networking site is estimated to have 10 million users on Tuesday. Quoted from Xinhua on Wednesday (13/07/2011), this makes Google + possibility is a product with the fastest user growth in Internet history. + Google recently launched a limited basis within two weeks. The estimates came from Ancestry.com research, which was founded by Paul Allen. Allen is one of the founders of Microsoft is not yet an entrepreneur in the United States.

Allen stated, Google + might even penetrate the 20 million users by the end of next week. With Google still provides the facility records invite. Allen states conducting research with data from the U.S. Census Bureau. He analyzed based on the comparison of Google's last name + the population in the U.S.. He also estimates + Google users from around the world and get the number 10 million.

Google itself has so far not released details of exactly how many Google users +. Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt put the number in the range of millions. Compared to Facebook, which has earned about 750 million members, does Google + nothing yet. But if they continue to grow consistently and will be widely open to the public, perhaps Google+ will present competitio.

The search engine giant in the virtual world, Google Inc., has finally released a gigantic social networking project called Google + 28 June. Developed with the project name "Emerald Sea", this secret project itself takes one more year and led by Google's Senior VP of Social, Vic Gundotra and Google VP Product of Google Apps, Bradley Horowitz and estimated to cost around 585 million dollars.

Google prefers to call Google + (abbreviated as "G +") as a project than as a product, application or strategy. According to both executives, the reason is that G + is an expansion of Google's own Google and services in the future will always be integrated to G +.


In the early stages, the project is still in version "field trial" can only be enjoyed by a limited circle who received an invitation from Google where users can send invitations to some candidate other users via email. Horowitz asserts that this version is intended to test the G + on the market and obtain more input from the users / public. In addition, Google is likely to open and close the invitation and login access to G + at any given time.

Google's lunge in the realm of social media has actually started when Google Wave, Orkut and Google Buzz launched a few years ago. Only three did not get a reaction and a positive and encouraging remarks on the market. On the other hand, the launch of the project was welcomed by the majority Googlist totaling about 300 million more users.

The next few weeks, is associated with other Google services platform that is blogging service Blogger.com and Picasa photo service will soon be integrated with G +. Indirectly, the consequence is that both services will be renamed Google Blogs and Google Photos.Tak doubt, with the presence of G +, the atmosphere of competition for the realm of social networking is becoming increasingly warm. This week Facebook launched in cooperation with Skype video chat feature so that 750 million users around the world can do video chat either one-to-one or in groups. This feature is sometimes a "response" up top features Hangouts in G +.

Nevertheless, Google's Eric Schmidt as Executive Chairman, stated that Google would try to continue to work with Facebook and Twitter, especially in terms of integration between social networking platform. Reporting from Google's official blog site, the main reason underlying the birth of this project is that materially and substantially, existing social networking platform now makes a friendship becoming like fast food where the majority of users want to get a friend / many friends as possible so that sharing becomes a difficult and uncomfortable.
