Google Challenges Amazon’s Product Search Dominance With New Shopping Graph
Amid all the flurry of news Google announced at its 2021 I/O developer conference, one thing stood out to me: the launch of the Shopping Graph. The announcement may not be as glamorous as, say, Android 12, but its importance isn’t to be ignored. While Google is putting forth the full power of its search […]
Google Summons the Power of YouTube and the Cloud in Bid to Shake up Gaming
At this year’s Game Developers Conference, Google introduced its game-streaming service called Stadia touted as an industry wake-up call and aiming not only at incumbents Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft but going after Amazon and its subsidiary Twitch. Perplexing name-aside, Stadia’s appeal may be its lack of hardware — Google is drawing from not only its […]
How A Dog-Eared Filter Got Tech To Think Camera-First
As the adage goes, the best camera is the one that’s with you. Each successive generation of devices continues to improve the quality of captured and shared photos, and tech companies are actively seeking to capitalize on the generated media proliferation.

Google’s Daydream VR and AR Efforts Could Get Boost With Lytro Acquisition
As a photographer and someone who appreciates creative tools and hardware, my conversations with Lytro while a reporter were often a mix of investigative and curiosity.

In my last post, I gave an overview on Google+, Google’s latest foray into the social media world and something that continues to need innovation in order to compete with the likes of Facebook, Skype and a slew of other social services currently on the market.

Google+ Isn’t Just Another Social Network, But It’s No Facebook (yet)
We never thought this day would arrive.

Earlier this week, the search engine giant released its latest social product. Off the heels of failed services like […]
Buying & Selling On Empire Avenue: The Stock Market Approach To Influence
We all love playing the stock market. Here in Silicon Valley, companies love the stock market even more when their business begins the process of going public and getting ready for their Initial Public Offering (IPO). While a majority of people are probably interested in and have the capability of playing the stock market for […]
Thoughts On Google’s +1 and The Gamesmanship of Search Marketing
In my last post, I alluded to Google’s +1 service as part of the search engine’s attempt to become social. While that post was primarily meant to briefly call out +1, the more that I thought about it, the more it seemed that it should be its post. Why? Because there are some issues at […]
