Google’s ‘Going Google’ Campaigns Carries On In Full Swing

In the month of August this year, Google had initiated an all new program, called Google, where in, Google had posted simple and gimmick free billboards in major U.S cities, such as, Boston, Chicago, New York, and San Francisco in an effort to convince more and more business to adopt Google Apps.

However, now Google has announced that, its Going Google campaign will now be reaching global levels, as the Google management has decided to expand the project to the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Japan, Australia and Singapore, where Google advertisements will be visible on billboards at just about every major traffic route.

According to Eric Schmidt (CEO, Google),

"Even with our enterprise business, which we've been working hard on for some time, not only is our business accelerating, but I actually personally spoke to a number of our customers, for example, Motorola, Genentech, and Johnson Diversity, getting feedback very strong, They need more of this product and they need us to address product shortcomings, and I think the products will do very, very well."

The all new global campaign will not only be limited to billboard advertisements, but will also include online advertisements as well advertisements in the print media.

According to Nikesh Arora (Sales Executive, Google),

"We are also seeing lots of traction among small and medium-sized businesses, which continue to increase at a fast pace."

Motorola Droid Hands On !

We absolutely nailed this puppy to the wall over and over and over again, so it's only fitting we'd be doing the first actual unveiling, right? We're not going to get too in-depth though, that will come at a later time. Here are some brief thoughts before the photos:

• It's running Android 2.0. Duh.
• It's thin. Just slightly thicker than an iPhone 3GS and the thinnest QWERTY-slider we've ever seen.
• It is the fastest Android device we've ever used. (It's running a TI OMAP3430 processor)
• The feel of the device is very reminiscent of the OQO 02 model computer. Just smaller. It's metal with a non-spring-assisted slide, very sturdy, and half soft-touch plastic.
• Awesome capacitive display. Plus it's huge. Easily the best screen we've ever seen on an Android handset, and an amazing screen overall.
• The QWERTY keyboard is actually pretty usable and has a soft-touch rubberized finish. We've been told the keyboard design isn't final on this unit, thus the two no-shows.
• Have we mentioned this phone flies? It's the Android device to beat, and easily the most impressive. From what we've been told, Google had a direct hand in the Motorola Droid. Something to the point of almost dictating every move Motorola made when designing and making the phone. Interesting, huh?
• There's a desktop cradle/charger that will ship with the Motorola Droid that we've been playing around with. It turns your Droid into a "multimedia station" and displays local weather, the time, etc.
• No one wants to listen, but it makes the CLIQ looks like a child's toy (partly because it is, and partly because the Droid, even in its non-final form, is the most impressive phone we've used since the iPhone. It's positively amazing).

Ok, enough of that — enjoy the photos! We'll put together a nice little review soon.

AT&T Now Selling HTC Tilt2 For $299.99

Businessmen and women have been able to get their hands on it for the past 10 days, but starting today AT&T will sell the HTC Tilt2 to us regular folk. The second Windows Phone Windows Mobile 6.5 handset to be offered by AT&T after the Pure, the Tilt2 is available for $299.99 on a 2-year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate or $499.99 contract free. But we have to ask for the sake of stirring up a little Sunday discussion: Considering the fact that all four carriers in the US offer up the Tilt2 in one form or another, why pick AT&T over Sprint, T-Mobile or Verizon?

Thanks, Alexander!

EyeTV iPhone app returns to App Store… complete with 3G streaming

Yesterday it seemed we'd have to wait for a new version of Elgato's EyeTV app after Apple pulled it from the iPhone app store, but it's already made a reappearance, complete with its clandestine 3G streaming abilities. Want the skinny on Apple's U-turn? Read on for all the info.

Apple originally pulled the EyeTV iPhone app after we revealed a secret way to access live TV streams using a 3G connection instead of Wi-Fi. Elgato issued a statement yesterday explaining that a new version had been submitted to Apple, without the offending 3G abilities, and that it expected it to be back on sale soon.

How the Hotmail become the popular full story

Simply by designing your product the right way, you can build an insanely fast-growing business from scratch. No advertising or marketing budget, no need for a sales force, and venture capitalists will flock to throw money at you.

Many of the most successful Web 2.0 companies, including MySpace, YouTube, eBay, Flickr and rising stars like Twitter are prime examples of a "viral loop"—to use it, you have to spread it. The result: Never before has there been the potential to create wealth this fast, on this scale, and starting with so little.

In Viral Loop, Penenberg tells the fascinating story of the entrepreneurs who first harnessed the unprecedented potential of viral loops to create the successful online businesses—some worth billions of dollars—that we have all grown to rely on. The trick is that they created something people really want, so much so that their customers happily spread the word about their product for them.
One such business was Hotmail. After their 20th venture capitalist meeting, Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith, former hardware engineers at Apple who first came up with the idea for webmail, finally raised seed money from famed VC firm, Draper Fisher Jurvetson.

PS: I Love You. Get Your Free Email at Hotmail

After the two sides worked out terms governing the initial $300,000 seed investment, Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith walked out of the Draper Fisher Jurvetson offices with a $50,000 bridge check and quit their day jobs. Working from home, Smith, after bringing onboard another engineer, got down to building a prototype. They also needed to come up with a name, which fell to Smith, who stayed up late with his wife to brainstorm. Sitting with a blank sheet of paper they listed possibilities that contained "mail" in some form. Out of two-dozen there was Cool Mail, Run Mail, this mail, that mail, but no "A-ha!" moment. Finally his wife suggested, "Hotmail."

Smith wrote it down. He wasn't sure about the "hot" part, but given everything else this seemed the best candidate. Then he noticed it contained the letters "HTML," the acronym for "HyperText Markup Language," the lingua franca of web pages. Smith canvassed Bhatia the next day while riding in an elevator to their attorney's office. As usual, his friend initially gave it a cool reception but they were running out of time so he went along with it. On March 27, 1996 Smith registered the Hotmail domain.

At the same time he finished a prototype within two weeks, sharing it with a small circle of friends who provided valuable feedback, mostly relating to layout, how e-mail should be viewed and the index page arranged, the look and feel of the interface, how the columns should appear on the screen. Smith demonstrated it at the next meeting with Draper and Jurvetson, who were duly impressed.

Draper asked, "How are you going to get the word out there?"

"We'll put it up on billboards," Bhatia said. He also mentioned radio advertising.

"God," Draper replied, " that's expensive marketing and we're giving this away?" He thought for a moment. "Can't you just give it out to all those guys on the web?"

That would be spamming, Smith replied.

I guess spamming is bad, Draper thought. He hadn't heard the term before. Then he flashed back to Harvard Business School, where he had received his MBA—a case study his professor had covered in class: women holding parties for their friends then selling to each other. A certain percentage of the women at each party became salespeople by referring more business. Tupperware, that was it. He also recalled MCI's "Friends & Family Plan," which harnessed the power of social interactions to spread the product. He wondered if they could do something like that with webmail.

"Jack," Draper asked, "could you put a message at the bottom of everybody's screen."

"Oh come on, we don't want to do that!" Bhatia blurted out.

"But can you technically do it?" Draper asked.

"Of course we can technically do it," Smith said.

"Oh, great," Draper said. "And it can persist, right? You can put it on one message and if he sends an email to somebody else you can put it on that one, too, right?"

"Yeah, yeah," Smith said, not convinced.

"So put 'PS: I love you. Get your free e-mail at Hotmail' at the bottom."

Bhatia and Smith communicated through pained expressions. "Oh, no," they seemed to be saying. Draper had seen that look before. Of all the investors in the world, why did we end up with this idiot? Frankly, he didn't care what they thought. This just felt right.

"Wait a second guys, don't you get it?" Draper asked. A tag line at the bottom of each message would act as free advertising. "I can send you an e-mail and you can send it to all your friends and they get it and they can sign up and send it to their friends and pretty soon it takes off."

Smith said, "I don't think…"

Bhatia interrupted. "Let's move on to other business."

Draper agreed to table the discussion for now, but had no intention of letting it go. He vowed he would keep pounding until they listened.

They launched HoTMaiL on Independence Day 1996. Not only did they like the symbolism—they viewed webmail as a populist tool because any user could log in from anywhere in the world—Smith had long promised the service would be ready by then. After turning on the registration function and hitting the switch in the early afternoon, Smith accompanied his tiny technical staff to Chili's Grill & Bar in San Jose to celebrate. To keep track of signups he brought along a laptop with an attached radio modem receiver on the back, the antennae sticking up like a divining rod. Over quesadillas Smith counted 100 registrations in the first hour. After lunch they went to the movies, and by the time the summer blockbuster "Independence Day" began to roll he tallied 200 signups. Upon exiting the cinema, Smith logged in again to find that fifty more joined HoTMaiL. They were finding the site via word of mouth and word of mouse. People were talking about it, and letting their friends and family in on the deal via email, using the Hotmail message as a proof of concept: Eighty-percent of those who signed up said that they learned about it from a friend.

Growth was robust but not staggering for the week. At the next meeting at DFJ Tim Draper once again pushed the two young entrepreneurs to insert a tagline into each message. Bhatia and Smith were adamant about not adulterating email. It just wasn't done. They would feel like they were polluting emails with advertising, and what about privacy issues? If someone is adding a tagline what else were they doing? A user would wonder what else they had access to and they were also fairly certain it was unethical. But Draper wouldn't let it go. The benefits, he contended, far outweighed the risks. If they were predicating their entire business on the size of their user base, they should be doing everything in their power to increase it as fast as possible. "P.S. I love you. Get your free email at HoTMaiL." The more he said it, the more he liked it.

The next day Bhatia phoned Draper with the news that they agreed to do it, but without the "P.S. I Love You" part. The impact was almost instantaneous. Within hours Hotmail's growth took on the shape of a classic hockey stick curve. They started averaging 3,000 users a day, compounded daily. By Labor Day they registered 750,000 users and within six months they were up to 1 million. Five weeks after that they hit the 2 million user mark, adding more than 20,000 signups a day, with Smith desperately trying to keep the servers up and running. At times, the site became sluggish and suffered major outages. But through it all Smith, using little more than virtual spit and glue, kept Hotmail—they had dropped the awkward capitalization by this point—afloat.

The tagline with the clickable URL that Draper insisted that Bhatia and Smith insert into every outbound message served as a promotional pitch for the company. Simply by using the product every customer became an involuntary salesperson. This implied endorsement from a friend or peer made it more powerful—and more far-reaching—than traditional advertising. The receiver of a Hotmail messages could see a.) his friend is a user, b.) it works, and c.) it's free. Successful consumer branding is often based on user affiliation. (The cool kids wear low cut jeans, so I will, too.) This plays to our tribal instinct. It also resulted in clusters of users. Bhatia sent a message to a friend in India and within 3 weeks Hotmail registered 100,000 users there. It also became the largest email provider in Sweden without spending a nickel on advertising there. In contrast, Juno blew through $20 million in marketing and advertising yet Hotmail gained three times as many users in half the time.

As Jurvetson related in what would become a famous white paper, the Hotmail adoption pattern was similar to that of a virus "with spatial and network locality." A person's email address book is a type of virtual social network that is not encumbered by geography. A certain percentage of contacts will be friends, family and colleagues who reside relatively near by; others may be scattered throughout the world. A Hotmail message sent across the country might result in a new cluster of users. Jurvetson noted a "mathematical elegance" to Hotmail's "smooth exponential growth curves" in the company's early days: cumulative users = (1+fan out) cycles. "We would notice the first user from a university town or from India, and then the number of subscribers from that region would rapidly proliferate," he wrote. "From an epidemiological perspective, it was if Zeus sneezed over the planet."

Customer Support‏ an interesting Query

Subject: Computer Hard and Software:

Dear Tech Support:

Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Football 5.0, Hunting and Fishing 7.5, and Racing 3.6 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected.

I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1.0. Please help!

Thanks,
A Troubled User.

REPLY:
Dear Troubled User:

This is a very common problem that men complain about.

Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0, thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!! It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 7.0. It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed.

You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed to not allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under Warnings-Alimony-Child Support. I recommend that you keep Wife1.0 and work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the background application "Yes Dear" to alleviate software augmentation.

The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway.

Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance. Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep 3.0, Cook It 1.5 and Do Bills 4.2. However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program Nag, Nag 9.5. Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0! WARNING!!! DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3. This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

Best of luck,
Tech Support

Lesson of Life read it its helps you

Dear All,

A Jobless man applied for the position of "office boy" at Microsoft.

The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.

"You are employed." He said." Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start."

The man replied "But I don't have a computer, neither an email."

I'm sorry", said the HR manager, "If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job."

The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the Operation three times, and returned home with $60.

The man realized that he can survive by this Way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.

5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US.

He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance.

He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his email. The man replied, "I don't have an email". The broker answered curiously, "You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an Email?!!"

The man thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!"

Moral of the story:

M1 - Internet is not the solution to your life.

M2 - If you don't have internet, and work hard, you can be a millionaire.

M3 - If you received this message by email, you are closer to being an office boy, than a millionaire. .........

Have a great day!!!

Excellent describe the Boss definition

A man wanted to buy his son a parrot as a birthday present.

The next day he went to the pet shop and saw three identical parrots in a cage.

He asked the clerk, "how much for the parrot on the right?

The owner said it was Rs. 2500.

"Rs. 2500." the man said. "Well what does he do?

"He knows how to use all of the functions of Microsoft Office 2000, responds the clerk.

"He can do all of your spreadsheets and type all of your letters."

 

The man then asked what the second parrot cost. The clerk replied, Rs. 5000, but he not only knows Office 2000, but is an expert computer programmer.

 

Finally, the man inquired about the cost of the last parrot.

The clerk replied, "Rs. 10,000."

Curious as to how a bird can cost Rs. 10,000, the man asked what this bird's specialty was.

The clerk replies, "Well to be honest I haven't seen him do anything.

 

But the other two call him "BOSS"!!

Thy Story Of Tortoise FULL OF LESSONS READ TILL END‏

Once upon a time a tortoise and a hare had an argument about who was faster .

They decided to settle the argument with a race. They agreed on a route
and started off the race.
The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time.
Then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit under
a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race. He sat under
the tree and soon fell asleep.

The tortoise plodding on overtook him and soon finished the race, emerging as the undisputed champ.

The hare woke up
and realized that he'd lost the race.
The moral- "Slow and steady wins the race. This is the version of the
story that we've all grown up with."

THE STORY DOESN'T END HERE
there are few more interesting
things.....it continues as follows..... .

The hare was disappointed at losing the race and he did some
soul-searching.
He realized that he'd lost the race only because he had been overconfident,
careless and lax.
If he had not taken things for granted, there's no way the tortoise could have beaten him. So he challenged the tortoise to another race.
The tortoise agreed. This time, the hare went all out and ran without
stopping from start to finish. He won by several miles.
The moral - " Fast and consistent will always beat the slow and steady.
It's good to be slow and steady; but it's better to be fast and reliable."

THE STORY DOESN'T END HERE

The tortoise did some thinking this time, and realized that there's no
way it can beat the hare in a race the way it was currently formatted.

It thought for a while, and then challenged the hare to another race, but
on a slightly different route. The hare agreed. They started off. In keeping
with his self-made commitment to be consistently fast, the hare took off and
ran at top speed until he came to a broad river. The finishing line was a
couple of kilometres on the other side of the river.

The hare sat there
wondering what to do.
In the meantime the tortoise trundled along, got into the river, swam to the opposite bank, continued walking and finished the race.

The moral - "First identify your core competency and then change the
playing field to suit your core competency."

THE STORY STILL HASN'T ENDED
The hare and the tortoise, by this time, had become pretty good friends
and they did some thinking together.

Both realized that the last race could
have been run much better So they decided to do the last race again, but to
run as a team this time.

They started off, and this time the hare carried the tortoise till the riverbank. There, the tortoise took over and swam
across with the hare on his back. On the opposite bank, the hare again carried
the tortoise and they reached the finishing line together. They both felt a
greater sense of satisfaction than they'd felt earlier.
The moral - "It's good to be individually brilliant and to have strong
core competencies; but unless you're able to work in a team and harness each
other's core competencies, you'll always perform below par because
there will always be situations at which you'll do poorly and someone else
does well.

Teamwork is mainly about situational leadership, letting the person
with the relevant core competency for a situation take leadership.
Note that neither the hare nor the tortoise gave up after failures. The
hare decided to work harder and put in more effort after his failure. The
tortoise changed his strategy because he was already working as hard as
he could."
In life, when faced with failure,
sometimes it is appropriate to work
harder and put in more effort.

Sometimes it is appropriate to change strategy and try something different.

And sometimes it is appropriate to do both..

The hare and the tortoise also learnt another vital lesson. When we stop competing against a rival and instead start competing against the
situation, we perform far better.

 

why McDonalds is a good investment

Grab some shares of McDonalds (MCD) now and you might not have to work there in retirement.

1. They Market To Kids & Adults Don't Really Mind
Oh, what a bonus for a two year old to get a free toy out of a drive through trip to the golden arches. Perhaps Mom & Dad will feel better getting the optional apple slices instead of fries with their happy meal. They have play gyms inside their stores, they sponsor kids sports, they give loads to charity, they are armed with a team of on-staff cartoon characters including Ronald and whatever movie Disney is pumping this month. McDonalds is basically a well-honed marketing machine that neither 'Super Size Me' nor 'The Subway Diet' can stop.

2. The Fundamentals
Mmmm, the dividend growth, just makes my mouth water. They've raised their dividend each and every year since 1976. They just recently raised it by 10%, at a time when other company's CEO's are eating Quarter Pounders and liking it, to cut costs wherever they can. McDonalds annual sales growth has been very consistent, their EPS growth over the long term has been great, and they generate returns on equity in excess of 15% most years. All this while maintaining a moderate debt level of $0.76 per $1.00 of equity.

BlackBerry alert! BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac arrives

A TUAW reader zapped us a note with his BlackBerry device to tell us
that as of today, BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac is available (we
first noted it as "coming in September" back in July).

It's a free download [link], and requires Mac OS X 10.5.5 or better,
BlackBerry device software version 4.2 or higher, and iTunes 7.2 or
newer. Key features of the software include the ability to synchronize
your iTunes library with your CrackBerry, sync calendars, contacts,
and appointments, & add or delete apps and files.

This is the first time that Research In Motion (RIM) has developed
their own solution for syncing Macs and BlackBerry handhelds. In the
past, the company made a version of PocketMac for BlackBerry available
at no cost to Mac-owning customers, and other third-party developers
such as Mark/Space have had BlackBerry solutions available for many
years.
