NYC in 3D

April 19th, 2010


Google Earth has done the amazing by using its custom technology feeds to create a 3-D map of New York City. While many of you may think this reminds you of the landscape from a certain promotional game (Grand Theft Auto IV anyone?), this nifty view of the world’s most famous city displays how effective Google Earth can be. So the next time you’re trying to navigate your way around the streets of Manhattan, don’t turn to your logoed map…turn to Google Earth!

Well it seems that in the latest study of the possibilities custom computer technology social media sites offer, Twitter has been shown to be an extremely accurate predictor for how well movies will do in the box office. Research on movie revenues that scientists used Twitter to predict showed results in which the Twitter-based predictions fell within a few hundreds of thousands of dollars of the actual revenues made. This research study was so successful that it beat out the guesses made by the Hollywood Stock Exchange! Who would have ever thought that a social media site could become a tool to predict the actual outcomes of things!

Google…tells weather?

April 8th, 2010


Wow, do I wish this was my April Fool’s Day post. So it appears that out of all the promotional computer technology that Google offers, they still decided to make a 15 second short video teaching people how to use the site to…search for weather in their area. I guess people not as tech-savvy as us would find this useful…but do you really think they’d be searching for a how-to video for it? Either way, as usual, Google makes this video look totally cool, which is why it’s being posted. As for me…I’m unlucky enough to have used Google’s weather seeker and found out that it’s going to rain tomorrow. Guess I’ll need my logoed umbrella!

Gopeka!

April 2nd, 2010

In honor of Topeka’s mayor renaming the city Google for a month in order to get Google to post itself in the city, Google returned the favor by renaming itself Topeka on April Fool’s Day. So everyone grab your promotional maps and remember to rename Topeka, Google for the month. (It’s the capital of Kansas if you don’t remember!) Talk about great custom advertising!
