Trying another side of Google

I am at the beginning of a steep learning curve that sees me both  learning and implementing just how far I can utilize the Google Documents.

An associate showed me Google Documents. Then opened the Google Document world to me. Things I had thought of before suddenly became limitless.


  • Previously having to save diagrams and pages in half or quarter size for people to read them on the information presented on the blogger.  
    • Printing this information out caused the enlargements to be unreadable.
  • I kept finding scholarship papers popping up in Google search engines.  These were really good reading as I was told the procedure to place a 'paper' on this level of the web.  therefore felt that the source to be more accurate that something placed on the web.
  • Instead of repeating actions that involve a lot of copy writing the same things over and over blogger's tab bar has incorporated a web address link. 
  • The folders can be made and files stored in them.  Meanwhile there is a running sheet of each and every file you are working on as well.
  • Sharing is a terrific idea when you are able to limit those who see but also those who can change things around with you. Check the documents out. 
  • Time management wise there is a lot to be done to enable the change overs from blog indexes to document presented indexes.  However for the readers easing this time spend is a profitable investment.
  • Locating files to update -where someone else is or has been working on - is easier as they have popped up to the top of the list.
On the down size although 
  • The printing has greater scope the graph pages are still tricky to print out .

Google Documents will add another dynamic side to the blogs that I have fun writing with.

Taking up a challenge to "market" a something into being that success where you and the employees get the maximum benefits in today's entrepreneurial world means that you need everyone's participation.

Induction and short weekly updates or training sessions mean that employees become aware and informed of decisions   Even better they have an opportunity for direct dialogue that affects that decision-making process.

With the decisions making processes having a full participation strategy the processes allow you to
  • Know what you are actually marketing.
  • What drawbacks to the typical approaches are in rolling out a shareable income.
  • Current best methods are shared on 
    • how to use a basic promoational mix that promotes the sales.
    • who can do what within the firms contact basis.
  • What communication strategies are set up, how they work and why the employee benefits when using them.
  • What a few challenges are with marketing and promotion.
  • Which best practices are when marketing the promotion.

  

Where is Meet Up taking me too?

The arts culture has really begun to use social media. The question is where will the use of the social media take them too and what are the outcomes?

The team members have set up a blogging group.Now that "Meetup.com has been introiduced into the urban sceen' ...is bringing together large crowds of similar-minded audiaences." writes Aine Creedon. With this coming together of people, talents and IT the art world, as we think we know it, will  continue to change, add new interfaces and dimensions.

As I read the article it looks like an objective was to reach into a wider audience. The strategy being through the use of social media and networking combination. Social Media for Communities article has reported is that through the social networking and social media forums of Blogging and twittering Arts Professionals are keeping abreast of the arts scene. The sheer amount of people participating in the arts genres has increased dramatically along with interactions of ideas developing a cross culture/genera influence through the art world it self.  Similar to how van Gough, Cezanne, Gogan and Seurat influenced the Twentieth century painting . The principles went wider and influenced the architecture, furniture. Social concepts flowed on into every day life.

“We use Twitter not only to connect with one another, but to share what we feel brings value to a larger online arts community,” said Ms. Merlino, senior marketing manager at the Guggenheim Museum. It has enabled us to form both professional and personal relationships that has provided countless opportunities for learning and collaboration.”

The spear headed movement includes both art professionals as well as interested stakeholders and others are keeping "up to date on creative new exhibits and lectures by following one another's updates on Twitter and using the" common hastag. While your at it, keep your friend in the loop and 'share' the post with your friends.

Yes the strategies for up -marketing the arts and culture of the world are benefiting from social media and social networking.

OOps I forgot my verification code

A few days ago there I was working my way through "How to get into " syndrome.  A few choice words were though of too.

Anyway. I found out about verification codes.  Promptly got 10 of them.

What a great idea.

It was till I went to a computer that was not mine and was also 90 minutes away! Tried opening my Google Site to show them there one that I had been working on.  The verification codes were at home.  Great.  Today I have the verification codes [ copied out] and I am travelling back there as the site needs their approval before they pay for their Google web page and release it.  That way there is an web-address available for customers to get to them. Secondly all documentation, customer information and publicity would have been moving by now.

Google did warn  about the verification codes.  Print / copy .  Do not forget these ... even place in wallet. There is even a note that only the latest set of backups will work on my Back up verification codes print out. I did two out of three and was caught out, made to feel foolish and dumb.

On the flip side I feel good as no anyone else would also have problems getting in too!.
