Five Things I Learned At MySpace That Could Help Google+ Editor’s note: This guest post is written by Tom Anderson, the former President, founder and first friend on MySpace. You can now find Tom on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ This is just a guess, but I’d bet money that Vic Gundotra and Bradley Horowitz probably feel like their heads are going to explode. Anyone on the Google+ team who really cares about G+ is probably getting very little sleep, and are annoying their friends and family with their one-track G+ minds. At MySpace I tried to digest that “inbox” and “community” by myself, and that worked pretty well for a few years. Here’s a few things I’d do right now, if I were Google. 1) Start seriously courting the journalists, tastemakers, and celebrities that are using and/or pontificating about G+. Why? 2) Exhaustively think through the privacy issues and tie up any loose/ends that G+ has on this front. 3) Move Google’s top analysts (probably focused on monetization right now) onto the Google+ project to form a skunk works team.
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.
Google plus Blog 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.

Elgan: 10 things I hate about Google+ Opinion July 30, 2011 07:00 AM ET Computerworld - I have a love-hate relationship with Google+. Because I love it and use it so much, I really hate its current limitations. As I've mentioned in this space before, I'm on what I call the "Google+ Diet." Despite having well over 20 million users, Google+ is theoretically still a "closed" invitation-only beta service. Until Google works out the kinks in its new social networking service, there are tricks and workarounds for most of the problems you might encounter in Google+. Here are the top 10 things I hate about Google+, and what I do about them. 1. Google+ supports animated GIFs and nice, big pictures. The worst of these is an animated GIF showing a Japanese squid dish. Eventually, I believe Google will add search filters in Google+ like the ones in Gmail. There's so much great content on Google+ that users are tempted to circle everyone they can until reaching the limit of 5,000 people.
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

Social In Google’s DNA Editor’s note: This guest post is written by Tom Anderson, the former President, founder and first friend on MySpace. You can now find Tom on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ Google is an algorithm driven-company. “PageRank” (named after Larry Page himself) was the “founding algorithm” of Google—the one that gave it superior search results, and eventually led to Google “winning” the search wars of the early 2000s. The algorithm continues to evolve—in fact, it’s Google’s most important work—and by some accounts, it includes more than 500 million variables and 2 billion terms to perform its magic. Can a company so enamored with the power of algorithms and machine learning, let the user take control? I love using G+, enough so that I’m worried that Google is going to make a misstep and ruin the service. One of the key issues that will determine the fate & nature of G+ is whether Google favors an algorithmic approach over a user-controlled approach to the stream. Is that the right move?

Google+ : Strategic Blunder inShare5 Why not start the new year by giving you a glimpse at the future of Social Networks and show why Google is best positioned to own that future. Social networks have been mostly driven by Zuckerberg's "Social Utility" vision and that is certainly the core of Google's vision. Even Dalton Caldwell who made a big splash last year, is perpetuating the fallacy that there is such a thing as a "social utility" and he even got kickstarted for it. Why will the vision of a Social Utility disappear? Just how limited is that vision? userspostsmessagesstreamsinteractions (as in like, repost, ...) The problem with that kind of vision is that: a) it's too easy to build: even I can build a social back-end like that with, say, Canappi and MongoLab (MongoDB) in minutes, entirely customized for my very own social network app. Let me explain. Most people have 5 to 10 major interests in their lives. I can't wait until Starbucks adds the "I am having a coffee here, meet me if you'd like" social network.
