Greetings WOW Members and Web Professionals everywhere! Bill Cullifer here with the World Organization of Webmasters (WOW) and the WOW Technology Minute.
Earlier last week, I shared some of the goings on and some great links from the Google keynote at the WWW2008 conference in Beijing. For today?’s podcast, I stopped by the Google booth to take a closer look at some of the great stuff they had on display.
Google?’s one of those companies that just keep getting better. In fact, in looking around the exhibit hall here in Beijing, Google was the one company that just seemed to get it.
The booth was well staffed, the most accommodating with request for interviews complete with the best of show when it came to actual deliverables for Web professionals.
For example, they had live demo?’s of their:
•Open Social a cool Google Gadget, that allows you to build apps that easily interact with your friends and colleagues (see http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial/)
•Google Maps API, Google Earth, Street View-Where you can you can virtually explore city neighborhoods by viewing and navigating within 360-degree scenes of street-level imagery (see http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2007/05/introducing-street-view.html)
