Google’s quick answers: Who says they are correct? Do your research

Google's "knowledge panels" materialize at random, as unsourced and absolute as if handed down by God:
Betty White is 94 years old.
The Honda Civic is 2016's best car.
Taipei is the capital of — ahem — the "small island nation" of Taiwan.
If you've ever Googled a person, place or thing — which, survey suggests, you almost definitely have — then you've encountered these aggressive, boldfaced modules, one of Google's many bids for your fleeting attention.

Google reveals the Chromium OS it uses to run its own containers

Google's decided the Chromium OS is its preferred operating system for running containers in its own cloud. And why wouldn't it – the company says it uses it for its own services.
The Alphabet subsidiary offers a thing called “Container-VM” that it is at pains to point out is not a garden variety operating system you'd ever contemplate downloading and using in your own bit barn. Container-VM is instead dedicated to running Docker and Kubernetes inside Google's cloud.

Google I/O 2016: What to expect

Google is taking I/O 2016 back to the mothership this year. Instead of holding it at a convention center in San Francisco, the company is hosting the event at the Shoreline Amphitheater outdoor concert venue in its Mountain View backyard (no, really). The show is meant to educate developers about using Google's platforms, but the reason we all tune in is to see product updates and big, brand-new things from the Internet giant.

How to Blog When You Just Don't Have the Time: Tips for Solopreneurs and Small Businesses

by: Hannah Forbes-George For small businesses and solopreneurs, blogging couldn’t be more vital in terms of helping you to stand out as an expert in your niche, and consequently, attract the right traffic to your website. We call this ‘the top of your marketing funnel’ (gosh I think I made myself yawn then – no more jargon, I promise), which simply means it’s one really effective way to attract your prospects before converting them into leads and customers. Despite this, solopreneurs and small businesses avoid blogging because of one universal problem . . . yes you guessed it – TIME. Their are many benefits to being a solopreneur or running a small business (my favourite being that you can make decisions and change direction quickly), but lack of time isn’t one of them. You’re so busy carrying out every function of your business, that how on earth do you have time to create three, four or five insightful, original and engaging blog posts every week on top of everything else?

Important update to Remarketing with Google Analytics

Starting May 15, 2017, Remarketing Audiences created in Google Analytics will be enhanced to automatically take advantage of new cross-device remarketing functionality now available in AdWords and DoubleClick . This will allow you to reach your customers across devices when using Google Analytics Audiences. Our research shows that six in ten internet users start shopping on one device but continue or finish on a different one. With cross-device remarketing in AdWords and DoubleClick, if someone visits your website on one device, you can now reach them with more relevant ads when they search or browse on another device. Where users have chosen to enable Google to associate their web and app browsing history with their Google account, and to use information from their Google account to personalize ads, Google will use data from its signed-in users together with your Google Analytics data to build audience lists for cross-device remarketing. In order to support this feature, tw

Your Brand New Innovation Is Brilliant--but Destined to Fail

BY Paul B. Brown When you are searching for a great idea for a product or service, one that you can build a business around, it's natural to start with a blank piece of paper--or empty computer screen. Natural? Yes. A good idea? No. To increase your odds of success dramatically, begin by searching for places where you can solve a problem or improve an existing idea. It isn't as strange as it sounds. Because you are smart and creative , there is absolutely no doubt you could come up with endless ideas for new products or services before the sun sets. There would be that zero gravity theme park, make-your-own donut shops, and that portable computer that comes with a built-in printer. Creativity is wonderful. And imagination even better. But if they are not linked to making money--or making the world a better place, if what you want to do is create a nonprofit--then they aren't particularly helpful. They are just thoughts you have to help pass the time. Creativity
