Google set the tone for the next 12 months at their I/O conference this week. It was not a surprise that they talked about Google+'s impact on social media. It was a bit of a surprise that they discussed educational opportunities for using Google+ in the classroom. Delete the scoop?

Google+ isn’t only a social network. It’s the very backbone (and future) of Google itself. As Brian Clark wrote yesterday, authorship and the possible effects on the Google algorithm have the potential to be extremely beneficial to savvy content creators. If you’re a writer, this is either going to be very good for your career, or you’ll risk becoming relatively invisible online.
If you’d like to land solidly in the former camp of writers, the question becomes one of how to use Google+ to further your own goals. With that in mind, I’ve put together an infographic for you that outlines 64 strategies that every writer and content producer can put into action, and start reaping the rewards of intelligently engaging with Google+....

Infographic is a mess but the article info on G+ is excellent with lots of helpful tips. My fave: use recorded Hangouts to interview people in your field. They will be stored on YouTube and can function as informative posts.

First, there was the internet. Then, social media came along. Now, the newest untamed frontier is ‘human media.’ That is to say, human media is a closer, more personal form of social media, but where people communicate face to face, as opposed to communicating through text. And more and more people and businesses are starting to realize just how big human media is and is going to be. What Is Human Media? Human media connects people more intimately than regular social media sites. Through platforms like Google+, and using tools like G+ Hangouts, people and businesses are able to defy geographic distances to talk face to face. The entire world is at your disposal, as you can join or watch Hangouts in an infinite number of topics. You can join or watch Hangouts that are cooking lessons, virtual knitting circles, financial advice, DIY projects, medical care, and so much more. If you can think of it, a G+ Hangout can be done on it.... Via Jeff Domansky Delete the scoop?

TechCrunch is a leading technology media property, dedicated to obsessively profiling startups, reviewing new Internet products, and breaking tech news.
Ken Morrison's insight:
Ken's Key Takeaway: Facebook lost 3% in social logins this past quarter. Google earned 3%. This is the second quarter in a row with similar trends. Social logins are the third-party logins where you have the option of signing in locally or with your social network name/password. Currently, the rank is Facebook (46%), Google+ (34%) Yahoo (7%) and Twitter (6%), LInkedIN and everyone else 7%)

A chrome extension that removes politics from your FB and Twitter feeds permanently––by replacing the BS with awesome stuff
Ken Morrison's insight:
Ken's Key Takeaway: I actually think it is a bad idea to remove politics from your livestream, but I think it is interesting that we now have a tool to do so. I think it is important for us to be exposed to different views on politics. If we are offended or not impressed, we can block one person, but I don't think it is wise to block all politics 
Louise Robinson-Lay's comment,

I agree with Ken. It is great that you can filter stuff out that you don't want but politics is part of everything and to ignore it completely leads to ignorance.

You can also get an immediate time delivery estimate and a precise cost for the translation task and you can pay immediately for it via credit card/PayPal.

Ken's Key Takeaway: China's Baidu ("Chinese Google") is dedicated to deep learning. They have set up an office near Apple to attract top minds and programmers. The tech war continues. Remember that a big part of the tech war is the 2Ps...Pattents and Programmers. So large research labs like this in a location where tech programmers want to live can be seen as a bold move.

Here is the 2013 version of my textbook that I curated for my students at Hannam University's Linton Global College. Next year's vesion will include more of the teacher's notes that I share with my students. I hope that it is helpful for you. If you would like a free PDF version of the book, send me an email at kenmorrison30 (at) yahoo (dot) com or download it at the slideshare site.
I put a lot of work into the 2012 version. I feel that it passed the test of time. There are some updates and additions in this version. I also decreased the size of many images to make it less expensive to print.
Please please please support the real authors of this content. I took great effort to give credit where it is due. I aimed to show my students how they could access enough free info on the web that was of equal or greater value than the wonderful information found in expensive textbooks.
