Well Hello, Hello
As Google continues its mission to take over the world j/k, they’ve recently announced that they will be upgrading their Gmail program to include social media tools for its users. A USAToday article reported that Google will be adding Video and Photo sharing capability to their widely popular Gmail program. Some may be reading this article and not think much of it, but I disagree. I think Google is not only looking to capitalize on their Gmail product via the selling of Ad space but attempting to intergrate a hybrid model where Email and Social Media live in harmony. :)
I think Google can potentially revolutionize the way Email is used today and bring a multifaceted approach that both individuals and corporations will embrace. I mean, wouldn’t you enjoy checking email while you multitask and keep tabs on what your friends are doing in real time? I know I would.
Too soon to tell what the outcome will be, but what I do know is that Facebook better keep very close tabs on Google’s efforts. Google already commands a very serious presence on the web and has a dedicated following of Gmail users. I can see where the BIG G can easily leverage their existing user base and find ways to incorporate a new breed of Social/Email platform technology.
BTW
Don’t be surprised if Facebook decides to upgrade their weak internal email system in the hopes of competing with Google.
Tell your friends about us!
