Bill of Materials (BOM), Change Management, PLM Software | Arena Solutions Google+ Project: It's Social, It's Bold, It's Fun, And It Looks Good — Now For The Hard Part Last night, you may have heard talk of a mysterious black bar appearing on the top of Google.com. Or you may have even seen it yourself. No, you weren’t hallucinating. What is Google+? Sort of. You see, the truth is that Google really is trying not to make a huge deal out of Google+. How’s that for downplaying it? “We believe online sharing is broken. What he proceeds to show me is a product that in many ways is so well designed that it doesn’t really even look like a Google product. The first thing Gundotra shows me about Google+, and the first thing you’re likely to interact with, is something called “Circles”. It’s through Circles that users select and organize contacts into groups for optimal sharing. Gundotra realizes that many social services have tried and failed to get users to create groups. Next, Gundotra showed off a feature called “Sparks”. “Our goal here is to connect people. Another feature of Google+ is called “Huddle”. Finally, there’s a feature called “Hangouts”. More:

Cloud Storage Reviewed. - Infomation on the Best Cloud Storage Providers Real-life sharing, rethought for the web Update: For our international readers, this post is also available in French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. - Ed. Among the most basic of human needs is the need to connect with others. With a smile, a laugh, a whisper or a cheer, we connect with others every single day. Today, the connections between people increasingly happen online. In this basic, human way, online sharing is awkward. We’d like to bring the nuance and richness of real-life sharing to software. +Circles: share what matters, with the people who matter most Not all relationships are created equal. It’s sloppy. From close family to foodies, we found that people already use real-life circles to express themselves, and to share with precisely the right folks. +Sparks: strike up a conversation, about pretty much anything Healthy obsessions inspire sharing, and we’ve all got one (or two, or three...). They’re annoying, for starters. When your invite arrives we hope you’ll join the project.

Free Cloud Storage - MediaFire Google+ Traffic Floodgates Open - Deal Journal Reuters When Google opened its new social network to the public this week, it also opened the Web-traffic floodgates. On Tuesday, the first day Google+ was open widely to the public, Google+ recorded nearly 3.58 million Web visits in the U.S., according to new data from Experian Hitwise. Since its invitation-only launch in June, Google+ posted a daily high of about 321,000 U.S. visits. Compared to Facebook, however, Google+ remains a minnow. Even on Tuesday’s traffic spike for Google+, Facebook had 72 times more U.S. visits the same day, according to Experian Hitwise. The figures don’t include Web visits from mobile devices, from mobile apps or from users on the Google+ “notification bar.” As it opened its social network broadly, Google has been using its Web popularity– and the allure of celebrity sparkle — to drive more people to Google+. Wednesday night, Google+ held a “hangout” — a group video conference — with pop star will.i.am. The doodle promotion seems to be working.

Occupy organizers declared a month ago that the movement would be planning a comeback in the spring and summer. For the past few nights, dozens of Occupy Wall Street protesters have slept on a patch of concrete a stone's throw away from the traders and stock brokers who are the targets of their message. "They just don't understand how things work," said Wayne Kaufman, chief market analyst at John Thomas Financial. "We're not afraid anymore.

Tech To Watch 2012: The Cloud Eclipses Gadgets The cloud isn’t new. The personal cloud is. “The current state [of the cloud] is this type of digital locker,” explained Gartner Research’s Michael Gartenberg. But with last year’s release of iCloud and Microsoft improving its Windows Live Skydrive, the cloud has begun to move toward a multi-device synchronization model, with users able to sync and update files across all of their gadgets. Why It’s Important The cloud is fast becoming the next great frontier in personal computing, offering users near-limitless amounts of online storage, processing power, and content. “We are at a point where brands and platforms and even devices are ultimately going to be defined not by [processing] speeds, but the services they offer. How It Will Change Your Life According to Dharmesh Mehta, director of Microsoft’s Windows Live division, the cloud as it currently exists can be broken down into three divisions: the file cloud, the device cloud, and the app cloud.
