Well it seems G+ has been reading our minds or if anything my mind. It's latest update now lets you embed post from your profile or +page directly onto your own site. This in turn will give writers and publishers more credibility and more attention.
The feature has been rolled out for WordPress and TypePad. So once you use Google+ Sign-In on any of these platforms you're capable of embedding any of your G+ post directly onto your site. Plus Google+ (No Pun Intended) has made it incredible simple to do so. Here are the steps for Blogger
1) Click on the menu button at the top of your post and select embed post
2) There are two codes once you select embed post. The first is a jquery code. You simply copy it, go to blogger dashboard select template and edit html. Scroll to just about the bottom and paste it right before the tag.
3) Copy the second code open a new post. Be sure to select HTML instead of compose in the top left corner, paste the code, Of course add your appropriate labels and that's it.
In the end you pose should look like this.
This is a handy feature and something I think we'll all appreciate. Give it a try. Happy Posting.
With the 150 Million users under instagram's belt they're saying its time to turn them into revenue.
Instagram recently announced that the company has grown from 100M to 150M active users monthly in just six months.These numbers without a doubt boast of how popular instagram is. Its reported that instagram has 55 millions photos shared and 2 billion likes per day.
Rumours have surfaced before, but it seems now that with this notch in numbers under their belt, instagram will be now selling ads real soon. This then raises the question with the addition of ads will instagram still be as cool as it is now. Ads are a great source of income no doubt, but it does take away from the clean flow and over all likeability of the app. I am interested to see how IG will include ads into things and ultimately if IG can remain as popular with them.

For those that don't know, Google Drive is an online storage service brought to you by Google, It's similar to Microsoft's SkyDrive, Apple's iCloud and Dropbox. But Google has put in some features that in my opinion puts them ahead of the Cloud Race.
If you haven't taken advantage of Google Drive, I think its time to give it a shot. Drive now comes with 15 GB of storage but what makes it stand alone in the field is its Documenting capabilities. You are able to create documents, spreadsheets, presentation and from anywhere on any device. Whether its on your phone, your laptop, tablet, or Mac, simply create and collaborate with others in real time. No more emailing back and forward. You simply sign in to your Google account and all of your stuff is available to you from anywhere.
Besides basic features when creating a document, Drive has a neat feature called research that allows you to "research" within your document. It eliminates having to stop open a browser and search. As simple as a task it is, Google drive makes it much more simpler and convenient.
Now Google Keep syncs with Drive. Keep is a neat app that lets you easily organize and "keep" all your thoughts in one central place So when you have an idea for a blog or hear a great quote or just have a bright idea. Make a note on Keep and take it further with Drive.
The best part about Google Drive is that it's absolutely Free. As long as you have a Google account you have Google Drive and a list of other other apps from Google by default. So if you have a Google account and haven't tried Drive, go ahead and take it for a spin. What's you're experience with Google Drive??
Is Yahoo! on the verge of a come back?
A few days ago for the first time since 2011, Yahoo! was at the top of The U.S. Web Traffic Charts. It was reported by comeScore that Yahoo! had 196.6M unique visitors while Google had only 192.3M.
Today Yahoo! introduced its 7 redesigned, more personal yahoo! experiences campaign. They have redesigned the Yahoo! Sports, Movie, Music, TV, omg!, and Weather sites to bring the users a swifter and easier experience across any platform; whether its the web, your smartphone or your tablet.
Along with the redesigned sites, and topping the charts, Yahoo! launched its 30 days of change campaign as of August 7. Yahoo! is getting set to reveal a new logo on September 5 and each day they'll be releasing a different design leading up to the official new logo. I think it's a great campaign to get persons to visit the site and get the buzz going for them. Not to mention a great acquisition in tumblr.
Whether Yahoo! will ever make it on top or not, we'll have to see. They're certainly making a valiant run at it though.

| The world loves google... |
What I believe a lot of people don't realise is that Google has become incredibly enormous simply off of channelling YOUR information. All of the information that the world has to offer, Google collects it and distributes it to us in such a vast amount of ways that we have to choice but to love them. So essentially we made Google. None-the-less the company is still flourishing.
Here's My Top Favourite Apps from Google:
+ 5 Google Maps
In my opinion the most accurate global map that their is. Its level of detail and precision is remarkable and comes in so handy when you're on the road lost trying to find a street that you've never even heard of.
+ 4 Search/Now
Hands down the best search engine their is. Google has taken it a step further by integrating its core feature into every product. This makes it a very essential.
+ 3 Google+
I'm just now becoming accustomed to G+ but from what I've seen thus far. This is a power social network that has the momentum and potential to over throw Facebook. Facebook is virally popular but statistics is showing that G+ is now the second largest social network. It beats out Myspace, Pinterest and even Twitter. The only other site close to G+ and Facebook is my #2 pick YouTube.
+ 2 Youtube
Although their are others out there similar to it. YouTube has positioned it's self as the stand alone video sharing platform. Keeping in-line with Google nature, YouTube has a video on just about anything you can search for. I've actually learned a lot through YouTube. I think this was one of the best acquisitions Google has ever made.
+ 1 Android OS
Simply put I am in love with Google's Mobile OS. It's UI is so stylish and elegant, its stability is remarkable, especially with the new Jelly Bean 4.1 and 4.2 version (I've yet to get my hands on 4.3). Most of all I love its customization ability. I'm a person that loves to tweak and tinker with things until I get it to what I consider my liking. Android is the only OS that allows me to fully do so.
Those are my favourite Google products. I use them all including some other on a daily basis. Today I cannot imagine a world without Google.
What are your Favs?
