 NFAIS Webinar:   A Fresh Look at Google: What’s New and What’s Changing

With more than 12 billion searches processed per month , 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 unlimited number of staff from NFAIS member organizations can participate for a group fee of $255.
