23 Things - week 2

Dear All,

It's week 2. More excitingly it's 3 weeks to Christmas. I read an interesting article (or blog post) the other day comparing the iPad Air and the new iPad Mini in terms of which would make the most desirable Christmas present... I can't remember which they ended up wanting more... If it were me - I guess I'd prefer an iPad mini. [Same tech specs/slightly smaller]

Has anyone come across any gadgetry that they'll be giving people (or would love to receive for Christmas? Why not put a post about it in your blog!)

Now - back to the work related stuff.

Ye olde' week 2 tasks 

You can come at these tasks from a couple of different angles. If you're not familiar with Google: it's history, products and exploits - you can base your investigations in that space. If you're up to speed on Google and would prefer to base your investigations on web functionality - why not investigate web search technology, location based technology and online collaboration software?

These tasks are here because Google is an Internet behemoth and our customers use Google services extensively. 
  • Google search has dominated Search and advertising for years.
  • As Hotmail became old news - it became standard to have a GMail account for your emails. 
  • YouTube is owned by Google and has become a mecca for pop culture. 
  • Google Maps set the standard for location based and directional services.  
So - either follow the tasks as they're written or mix it up. Either way. Have fun!
