Project Loon

Google has recently unleashed a high pressure balloon that is apparently going to bring internet to over 5 billion users who do not or never experienced the internet. This to me I find amazing as a single solar powered balloon experiment just to see if they can connect the unconnected. This proves that Google are the true innovators of the technology world, in my opinion they are doing what Apple failed to do and bring new and unscene inventions the Google glass, now project loon *I'm calling Google balloon. Google is on a winning streak. If this works this could change the way the internet works and if this is the way of internet could their finally be other reigning services either then comcast or would it open-endedly be free?

Possible opportunity for inbound marketing?

I have worked at a gourmet grocery store for almost over ten years. I have seen a lot of changes as they finally created a facebook, I glanced to see the work they have done. The facebook is mostly used to keep up on sales and special dates coming up. Until this class I have never thought about possibilities it could bring. Then I thought Why not twitter, Pinterest? with twitter they can keep updates, and possible monthly coupons for their twitter followers and it will be more mobile friendly. Throughout the store the have recipes posted why not Pinterest? If they use Pinterest this could increase searchability as well as a adwords account and analytics. This could bring great opportunity for the company itself and myself.

Personal Update

This month has been a crazy month busy with work and school. The non-profits I have been working with have been responsive one technical issue with team continuum. The campaigns are still pretty new and as I read and learn about more methods and each NPO has their own persona. The ann arbor hands on museum the persona of the person is more hip, interested in things and how they work they are more logical and like to read up on things before actually going. The next NPO Dream catchers for abused children the persona is more caring the person on this site would logically be looking for a hotline, real stories, how to deal and cope with people who have been abused, and or being abused. The last NPO is team Continuum a NYC marathon, this persona is more caring as well as they are dedicated to giving back to the community as all donations go to the NPO also cancer foundations. As for networking this month I plan to go to LA2M as well, as whatever pop up on to eventbright. This has been very helpful and interesting to meet the different people and connect with them as I learn more about each person and industry.
