Back to Google again.

After being successfully married for long enough, I’ve learned one thing: Communication is key to retain your household sanity and the most controversial issue is time. Mainly the time that we lack.

We run our entire online life on Google Apps. Standard Edition. Free. The company email, calendar, contacts, documents to name the least. It syncs to our macs, blackberrys, iPhone, iPod, PC, etc. Works very well. and it’s free, did I already mention?

Ever since my wife managed to hook the Google calendar to her iPhone our life changed…

Her work stuff? there’s a calendar for that.

Dr. appointments? there’s a calendar for that.

Son’s helping class’s parent list? there’s a calendar for that.

Family stuff? there’s a calendar for that too.

And then we found that with one click we can add the entire Jewish holidays to our calendar not to mention your favorite team’s schedule… and all our contacts’ birthdays… and Valentines too.

Can you imagine how I felt when I heard her say “well we can’t do it next week since you have that PSU bowl game”… I’m in love all over again.  Seriously.

Instead of forgetting dates, events, appointments and etc. we have a built in expectations management system.

And it’s easy. It’s not like we both sit all day and update the calendar. It became a natural action: Two moms meet in the park and discuss the prospects of a playdate… iPhones out and done. All that while avoiding potential scheduling conflicts with my calendar as well as that important Lions game. There’s an app for that- calendar. And the one with the Google logo on it just works better- it’s connected to everybody’s pocket.

Yes, calendars have been here for as long as we remember, what’s the big deal?

Google made it easy to tact excessively and not fell guilty about it. It’s the good kind of execs where more is more. It’s free and easy to add another calendar when you need it, and keep it forever (and hide it to prevent clatter). Why not.

And the pre canned content. Birthdays, holidays, games, full moon dates, whatever – it’s there. Did I mention easy? They just made it easy.

If it’s good for the daily battlefield of a modern family, it’s good for the rest of the world.

According to Facebook the new design improves the following:

Pages also adopted the new look and feel.

Update No. 1 as I’ll keep drilling into the new interface.

The old interface was disorganized, hard to navigate and slow. This new interface is simple, easy to use, and  looks almost nice (sorry I was never a big fan of uniform… yet I appreciate Facebooks new elegance vs. the anarchy and abuse that My Space tolerates.

For organizations and organizations the new interface is actually good news. The cleaner look helps the visitors to focus on the content and personally I feel more invited to participate in the conversation.

That’s what urtak does.

Now urtak released their new widget…

The last New York Tech Meetup provided a few entertaining moments which peaked at the presentation of translationparty.com, created by Will Carlough. I love these times- talented and driven people are able to do and share their amazing work.

Playing a little with the translation mechanism leaves no doubt that delivering your message across languages is simply impossible… After seven years in the US doing business in English, all I needed is this little app to reassure me that “ALL WE NEED IS LUCK” ! Have fun…

Here’s a video of me presenting it to 700 people at NY Tech! (You might want to skip the first two minutes to avoid a technical difficulty plagued screening of the rap sensation that is sort of sweeping the nation, LOL.):

I’m working with one of our major clients on a plan that will harness every tool we could think of, to drive traffic to the client’s network.

As expected… the buzz of the word combination “social media” is still humming in my ears…

After a lot of work I was left with a big question…
Is Social Media an effective traffic generation tool
or
Is Social Media the traffic itself

Well as always I find questions to be the best answer… consider the following:

Is your website a place of business or a means to deliver a message?
