Google+ : utilisation en enseignement Google+, le nouveau réseau social proposé par Google, a été lancé en version bêta le mardi 28 juin. J’ai eu la chance d’être rapidement invité à tester le service, par l’entremise d’étudiants qui y étaient déjà inscrits. Voilà donc trois semaines maintenant que j’expérimente cette nouvelle expérience sociale. Aperçu des usages que nous expérimentons d’ores et déjà en pédagogie (et ce, même – et surtout – si nos étudiants sont désormais tous partis en stages !). L’originalité majeure de Google+ par rapport à bien des réseaux sociaux existants (Facebook, Viadeo, LinkedIn, etc.) est la suivante : il n’est pas nécessaire d’avoir des relations mutuelles (« je suis ton ami, tu es mon ami« ) avec les personnes que l’on suit, ou qui nous suive. Google+ permet de gérer très facilement ses contacts, de les classer dans un ou plusieurs cercles, et ainsi de leur diffuser une information ciblée. Même sans avoir atteint sa version finale, l’outil s’avère très agréable d’utilisation.
How to Migrate Your Facebook Account and Data to Google+ Arrrrrgh, the really sad part is that you sent this to me and in all that searching for an alternative fb/g+ sharer, I didn't realize this could also do that. I'm having some trouble loading stuff up though. The home page is very slow, but loaded...but now that I've got it installed the Facebook and Twitter "login" pages don't seem to be loading at all. I'd love to add this to the article, but I can't really do that until I get it working...any advice? The FB/Twitter icons on the right side of the top toolbar should pop up authorization windows for each of the services and require you to login, once that is completed, you will have to click those buttons again & hit the "login" link one more time to get it to actually connect. Once you've connected, there will be checkbox/icons in the share box for whatever services you're signed into. Hopefully that helps... Yeah, what I'm saying is that when I click on the icons you mention, they *don't* pop up authorization windows.
How to manage your online real-time existence David Rowan Editor of Wired magazine I write The Digital Life, a monthly tech column in our sister Conde Nast magazine, GQ. This is my column from last month's issue (dated July). Frustrated at never getting anywhere near inbox zero? Six Tips for Using Google+ Now Well, much to my chagrin, I just saw that PRNews is offering Google+ training for $329. This is so disappointing to me. Clearly they haven’t read that the new tool is in a sophomore slump and that it’s not yet available for businesses. But it’s not stopping my own industry from trying to make money teaching people how to get in there, create a personal account, and begin using it enhance your personal brand as it affects your business or career. So I give in. Creating your personal profile The first thing you want to do is create a Google profile, if you don’t already have one. Be sure you use the same keywords you use for your own web properties so, when people search, they’ll find several ways to reach you, not just your website. Organizing Circles Google+ is set up with what they call Circles. What this allows me to do is post information that is pertinent to each group. Once you get into Google+, you’ll see how easy it is to add people to your circles. Using Hangouts
Google nous fait-il perdre la mémoire? Une étude américaine conclut que les internautes utilisent les moteurs de recherche comme une mémoire externe, réduisant ainsi leurs efforts de mémorisation. Retrouvez tous nos articles de la rubrique L'explication ici. L’ÉCRIVAIN NICHOLAS CARR s’était déjà demandé si Google nous rendait stupide, les scientifiques s’interrogent désormais sur l’influence des moteurs de recherche sur notre mémoire. L’étude de Betsy Sparrow de l’université de Columbia, révélée par le magazine Science, met en avant le fait que l’internaute fait moins d’efforts de mémorisation quand il sait qu’il pourra retrouver l’information par la suite. Elle démontre également que quand il ne connaît pas la réponse à une question, il se tournera quasi systématiquement vers un moteur de recherche. Une mémoire adepte du tri sélectif La mémoire n’étant pas infaillible, le cerveau n’est pas capable de tout enregistrer machinalement. Face à cette abondance de données, le cerveau fait des choix.

HOW TO: Use Google+ For Your Job Search Using Google+? Add Mashable to your circles. You'll get the latest about new Google+ features and tips and tricks for using the platform as well as top social media and technology news. Google+ hit 20 million unique visitors this week, and the company launched a mobile app. The stats are impressive, but the new social network has room to grow in catching up with its massive competitors Twitter and Facebook. Early adopters of Google+ are captivated by the network's growth, as many tech elites — including Mark Zuckerberg, Robert Scoble and Kevin Rose — have amassed large followings in just weeks. Google+ hasn't hit a mainstream audience yet, but it does seem to be romancing the tech geeks with strong force. With so many influential techies flocking to Google+, it's a great place to showcase expertise and learn from others. Announce Your Availability Organize Contacts with Circles The key to a fulfilling Google+ experience is Circles, the heart of this social network's organization system.
How Do I Reactivate my Facebook Account? Has your Facebook account suddenly been disabled? Don't worry, it can happen to anyone (even celebrities like Roger Ebert), and it can usually be fixed with a little effort and a careful approach. First, you should get acquainted with Facebook's Statement of Rights & Responsibilities. We know, it's a long document but it contains important guidelines on what you should and shouldn't do on the world's biggest social network. Why Was My Account Disabled? Often, the reason your account was disabled is an inappropriate photo you've posted — nudity of any sort is a big no-no on Facebook. Your account may also have been blocked. A Guide to Google+ Privacy and Information Control Can you elaborate? I'm not sure if I understand what you mean. I think What I mean is that I have a hard time seeing how this is going to be any better or any worse in the long run, than any other social network that came before. I spent some time with fb and mirc and icq before that. I have this 'something else' in mind. I feel that what's going to happen is the same old thing that happens. Ah. I got on facebook freshman year of college, I *think* it was fairly new back then, and there were no ads, or marketing, etc. I'm hoping that G+ avoids the marketing/corporate pages and games, and just sticks with google ads. On the other hand, Google wants money, and people expect social networks to have games and bands and businesses, so I don't expect much. 'you're in, you're not you can see, you can't'... sense?. You are in, you can/'t see, you are not, you cannot but public.
Google+ en action Samedi 23 juillet 2011 6 23 /07 /Juil /2011 15:50 Je ne me suis pas encore exprimé sur Google+ auquel j'ai eu accès dès le 1er juillet car beaucoup en ont parlé mais surtout parce que je ne me suis pas encore forgé une opinion ferme et définitive sur le devenir et les usages de Google+ lancé seulement le 29 juin et qui va encore énormément évoluer vis à vis des plans de Google et des retours des utilisateurs, puis l'arrivée prochaine des pages professionnelles va révéler beaucoup du devenir de Google+ et des réels impacts sur son principal adversaire Facebook. Un premier bilan peut toutefois être tiré après les 3 premières semaines d'existence de Google+ : Pour me suivre sur Google+ : Billets en relation : Partager l'article ! inShare Par Julien Bonnel - Publié dans : Web Social 9
Google: Business version of Google+ is coming | Social Media | Macworld Computerworld - Google is telling IT executives to hold on, perhaps until later this year, as it prepares Google+ for the rigors of business. In blog posts this week, Google officials explained that the new Google+ social network, unveiled just last week, simply isn't yet ready for enterprise use. "We have been watching Google+ take shape over the last week and we've seen some really great companies get involved," wrote Christian Oestlien, a developer on the Google+ project, in a blog post (registration required). "But frankly," Oestlien added, "we know our product as it stands is not optimally suited to their needs. In fact, it was kind of an awkward moment for us when we asked Ford [Motor Co.] for his (or was it her?) gender!" In a video blog post, Oestlien asked companies and organizations to hold off using the consumer version of Google+ for business purposes. "Right now, we're very much focused on optimizing for the consumer experience," he said.
