If You Could Tell Google Anything About New Media, What Would It Be?

Posted on 12:29 pm by Paul Colligan

On June 10 I have the honor of making a presentation to Google about this wacky world of New Media that we all live in.

It will be recorded for later broadcast on YouTube (already signed the release) and sent via satellite to a number of Google offices.

I couldn’t be more thrilled or excited about this.

But it would be wrong for me to make such a presentation without something about the world of response via this New Media I dig so much.

So, my simple question to you is this,

If You Could Tell Google Anything About New Media, What Would It Be?

Tell them that:
- A GoogleReader+GoogleVideo mix would be perfect!
- We need a tool for video advertisement.
- A ranking system may be useful.
- They can be a huge player if they realize a way to explain and offer the New Media straightforward to those who don’t understand it yet.
- Stay not evil.

Please tell them for me that:
1. Gushing about the Google brand is my personal guilty pleasure - I really should be paid for it. O why didn’t I buy stock on opening day?
2. Avinash Kaushik is as cool in person and they should probably give him a raise, or at least erect a statue or something
3. Google analytics rocks for the non-tech types among us .. keep on rockin’, please
4. I am concerned about privacy issues, so reassure me.
5. Stay not evil.

That sounds like a really cool opportunity

I might present the following:

- forge partnerships with new media companies for special indexing e.g. twitter, powne, etc.
- if they can show the connections of media postings in search results - e.g. if author x has posted video xyz, what else have they done?
- people search - it’s not “new” per se but being able to find authors or publishers that you like and seeing their work through the internet would be helpful. Combining blog search, image, video, etc would be great.
- indexing of audio files for podcasters could really help pin down topics and pair content with the correct sources instead of those who scrape the content and republish.

Thanks,
James Connors

2. New Media is dependent on more then one search engine company - so it may be in google’s and yahoo’s best interest if they remain compedative and separate. Very separate.
3. Google is the only company int eh world that could take iTUnes on and win - so why don’t they? With seperate services for audio and video? Talk about a lot of eyeballs ont eh screeen.
4. I love google’s free document service very helpful for the getting feedback from listeners.

[…] Help Me Choose A Title For My Google PresentationPosted on 5:06 pm by Paul Colligan As I wrote earlier, I have the pleasure of presenting on the topic of “New Media” at Google. It will be sent by satellite to all of their offices and soon made available on YouTube. […]

[…] I’m getting ready for my speech at Google on Tuesday (fun doing that when you have no idea what Job’s is going to announce on Monday) and need to review some previous events over there. I’ll be reviewing some previous presentations on my Apple TV streaming YouTube directly on my HDTV - sans computer. I can then focus on the content. […]
