Once again, the results this year have been impressive. Nearly 2,000 mentors from 64 countries participated in the program. They worked to bring 1,000 students from 69 countries into the communities of <a href="http://socghop.appspot.com/program/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2009">150 free and open source projects</a>. We're particularly excited this year to have introduced several students to open source development that has a direct impact on social causes, from <a href="http://socghop.appspot.com/org/home/google/gsoc2009/mifos">microfinance software</a> to <a href="http://socghop.appspot.com/org/home/google/gsoc2009/sugarlabs">global educational initiatives</a> to <a href="http://socghop.appspot.com/org/home/google/gsoc2009/sunlight">making government data more transparent and accessible</a>. Three months and hundreds of thousands of lines of code later, 85 percent of our student participants have successfully completed their projects.

Once again, the results this year have been impressive. Nearly 2,000 mentors from 64 countries participated in the program. They worked to bring 1,000 students from 69 countries into the communities of <a href="http://socghop.appspot.com/program/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2009">150 free and open source projects</a>. We're particularly excited this year to have introduced several students to open source development that has a direct impact on social causes, from <a href="http://socghop.appspot.com/org/home/google/gsoc2009/mifos">microfinance software</a> to <a href="http://socghop.appspot.com/org/home/google/gsoc2009/sugarlabs">global educational initiatives</a> to <a href="http://socghop.appspot.com/org/home/google/gsoc2009/sunlight">making government data more transparent and accessible</a>. Three months and hundreds of thousands of lines of code later, 85 percent of our student participants have successfully completed their projects.

While we've focused on accepting prolific users who regularly produce videos that reach a wide audience — like <a href="//www.youtube.com/fred">Fred</a> and <a href="//www.youtube.com/valsartdiary">ValsArtDiary</a> — we've occasionally extended the program to include some of the site's more unforgettable videos, such as the <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU8DDYz68kM">Battle of Kruger</a>, <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=txqiwrbYGrs">David after dentist</a> and <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=epUk3T2Kfno">Otters holding hands</a>. These individual video partnerships recognize the role popular "one-off" videos play on YouTube, and have helped many people earn thousands of dollars a month as their videos went viral and endured over time.<br /><br />We decided it was time to spread the wealth. Today we're excited to announce that we're extending the YouTube Partnership Program to include individual popular videos on our site. Now, when you upload a video to YouTube that accumulates lots of views, we may invite you to monetize that video and start earning revenue from it. To determine whether a particular video is eligible for monetization, we look at factors like the number of views, the video's virality and compliance with the YouTube Terms of Service. If your video is eligible for monetization, you will receive an email and see an "Enable Revenue Sharing" message next to your video on the watch page, as well as in other places in your account:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrWc5Uwemu_mQuzAzldlhHot0Z255EEUInE0-do5b-ycQg0cQJ6KSB3VsnOX-JY2MkU-gVxz9cyKMbSG5wmURvQpxclAVqgh0uXD01oVG67-IKt396W91jXzAgTa8NvU0LPPReFg/s1600-h/YTMonetization.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373948130484086898" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrWc5Uwemu_mQuzAzldlhHot0Z255EEUInE0-do5b-ycQg0cQJ6KSB3VsnOX-JY2MkU-gVxz9cyKMbSG5wmURvQpxclAVqgh0uXD01oVG67-IKt396W91jXzAgTa8NvU0LPPReFg/s400/YTMonetization.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 160px;" /></a><br />Once you've chosen to enable revenue sharing, YouTube will sell advertising against your video and pay you a revenue share into your <a href="//www.google.com/adsense">Google AdSense</a> account each month.

While we've focused on accepting prolific users who regularly produce videos that reach a wide audience — like <a href="//www.youtube.com/fred">Fred</a> and <a href="//www.youtube.com/valsartdiary">ValsArtDiary</a> — we've occasionally extended the program to include some of the site's more unforgettable videos, such as the <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU8DDYz68kM">Battle of Kruger</a>, <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=txqiwrbYGrs">David after dentist</a> and <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=epUk3T2Kfno">Otters holding hands</a>. These individual video partnerships recognize the role popular "one-off" videos play on YouTube, and have helped many people earn thousands of dollars a month as their videos went viral and endured over time.<br /><br />We decided it was time to spread the wealth. Today we're excited to announce that we're extending the YouTube Partnership Program to include individual popular videos on our site.

Here are a few ideas: tell everybody in the city when you're stuck in slow-moving traffic; warn the drivers on the freeway behind you that they should consider an alternate route; tell the people still at home that they should spend another ten minutes reading the morning news before they leave for work; tell your city government that they might want to change the timing of that traffic light at the highway on-ramp. Of course, you can't just get on the phone and call everybody, and your one traffic report from your one spot on the road might not help much anyway. But if everybody on the road, all at once, could tell the world how fast their car is moving, and we could make it easy for anybody to check that information on their computer or cell phone, well — then we'd be getting somewhere.<br /> <br /> If you use <a href="//www.google.com/mobile/products/maps.html">Google Maps for mobile</a> with GPS enabled on your phone, that's exactly what you can do. When you choose to enable Google Maps with <a href="//www.google.com/mobile/gmm/mylocation/index.html">My Location</a>, your phone sends anonymous bits of data back to Google describing how fast you're moving. When we combine your speed with the speed of other phones on the road, across thousands of phones moving around a city at any given time, we can get a pretty good picture of live traffic conditions. We continuously combine this data and send it back to you for free in the Google Maps traffic layers. It takes almost zero effort on your part — just turn on Google Maps for mobile before starting your car — and the more people that participate, the better the resulting traffic reports get for everybody.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEyFod5B_uAnFBGXvT4_l-hEdaNIdosJsKboRnT6svr7XjGwDQGthV5FP-y79beNxjwFPbobG0x0ikl-43VIDv95k9lO6BwIEz2NYLzB_t-RMa0euu05CRK6TnkBjn5vgv5aD2nQ/s1600-h/gmm_arterials_z15.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373770641888093074" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEyFod5B_uAnFBGXvT4_l-hEdaNIdosJsKboRnT6svr7XjGwDQGthV5FP-y79beNxjwFPbobG0x0ikl-43VIDv95k9lO6BwIEz2NYLzB_t-RMa0euu05CRK6TnkBjn5vgv5aD2nQ/s400/gmm_arterials_z15.png" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 267px;" /></a><br /> This week we're<a href="http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2009/08/arterial-traffic-available-on-google.html"> expanding our traffic layer</a> to cover all U.S. highways and arterials when data is available. We're able to do this thanks in no small part to the data contributed by our users. This is exactly the kind of technology that we love at Google because it's so easy for a single person to help out, but can be incredibly powerful when a lot of people use it together. Imagine if you knew the exact traffic speed on every road in the city — every intersection, backstreet and freeway on-ramp — and how that would affect the way you drive, help the environment and impact the way our government makes road planning decisions. This idea, which we geeks call "crowdsourcing," isn't new. Ever since GPS location started coming to mainstream devices, people have been thinking of ways to use it to figure out how fast the traffic is moving. But for us to really make it work, we had to solve problems of scale (because you can't get useful traffic results until you have a LOT of devices reporting their speeds) and privacy (because we don't want anybody to be able to analyze Google's traffic data to see the movement of a particular phone, even when that phone is completely anonymous).<br /> <br /> We achieve scale by making Google Maps for mobile easy to install and use, and by making it easy for people to provide information about their own vehicle speed. There's no extra device to plug into your car and no extra software to buy. Google Maps is <a href="//www.google.com/mobile/default/maps.html">free</a> and works with most cell phones, and the number of cell phones with GPS is rising every day. Some phones, such as the T-Mobile myTouch 3G and the Palm Pre, come with Google Maps and traffic crowdsourcing pre-installed (the iPhone Maps application, however, does not support traffic crowdsourcing). Google is fortunate to have a lot of people using our products, and that scale helps make our products better.<br /> <br /> We understand that many people would be concerned about telling the world how fast their car was moving if they also had to tell the world where they were going, so we built privacy protections in from the start. We only use anonymous speed and location information to calculate traffic conditions, and only do so when you have chosen to enable location services on your phone. We use our scale to provide further privacy protection: When a lot of people are reporting data from the same area, we combine their data together to make it hard to tell one phone from another. Even though the vehicle carrying a phone is anonymous, we don't want anybody to be able to find out where that anonymous vehicle came from or where it went — so we find the start and end points of every trip and permanently delete that data so that even Google ceases to have access to it. We take the privacy concerns related to user location data seriously, and have worked hard to protect the privacy of users who share this data — but we still understand that not everybody will want to participate. If you'd like to stop your phone from sending anonymous location data back to Google, you can find opt-out instructions <a href="http://support.google.com/gmm/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=81875">here</a>.<br /> <br /> We've already been able to provide useful traffic information with the help of our existing mobile users, but we hope that is just the start. As GPS-enabled phones and data plans get less expensive, more people will be able to participate. Crowdsourcing traffic gives us a way to harness bits of location data from our users and give it back to them in a form they can use to make impactful decisions that affect their free time, their pocketbooks and the environment. The more people use it, the better it will get. So next time you're sitting in morning traffic, turn on Google Maps for mobile and let someone else know they can hit the snooze button one more time.

You use Google Docs to keep track of the rosters for each team as well as each team's performance.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs7up5pErlO3iLnPA0XnVqVz3-vKVnGltxwk4xhiib0ck_sxqm_sxySQretLPfuF-_s_UvKcn6dLlkcgAX7MhMA1KNWUPe0E-MjB-thhuwikpXhGixL04DO_MEuKxZyxACDQi9Eg/s1600-h/1.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371055130392786930" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs7up5pErlO3iLnPA0XnVqVz3-vKVnGltxwk4xhiib0ck_sxqm_sxySQretLPfuF-_s_UvKcn6dLlkcgAX7MhMA1KNWUPe0E-MjB-thhuwikpXhGixL04DO_MEuKxZyxACDQi9Eg/s400/1.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 345px;" /></a><br />You want all the players, but only the players, to have editing access.

Now tens of millions of people choose to use their iGoogle homepage to check email, track the news, watch videos, chat with friends and much more. Today, we're pleased to tell you about the new social features that we're introducing to iGoogle.<br /><br />First, we're excited to introduce <a href="//www.google.com/igsocial">social gadgets for iGoogle</a>. Social gadgets let you share, collaborate and play games with your friends on top of all the things you can already do on your homepage. The 19 social gadgets we're debuting today offer many new ways to make your homepage more useful and fun. If you're a gaming fanatic, compete with others in <a href="//www.google.com/ig/directory?hl=en&url=static.playfish.com/game/brain/igoogle/igoogle_brain_game.xml">Who has the biggest brain?</a> or challenge your fellow <a href="//www.google.com/ig/directory?hl=en&url=ig.hosted.chesscomapps.com/api/gadget_def.php">Chess</a> or <a href="//www.google.com/ig/directory?hl=en&url=webmayhem.eamobile.com/mayhem/scrabble/igoogle/gadget.xml">Scrabble</a> enthusiasts to a quick match.

Updates can include your recently shared photo albums, your favorite comics strips, your travel plans for the weekend and more. To help you manage who you are sharing with, we've created a Friends group. You can add and edit friends in this group at any time. If you already have a Friends group within your <a href="http://www.google.com.au/contacts">Google Contacts</a>, you'll be able to easily share with those friends on iGoogle as well. If you don't care to share, iGoogle's social features are optional and can be disabled on a gadget-to-gadget basis with just a few clicks.<br /><br />It's developers who have really made iGoogle into the rich experience it is — growing our gadget directory to over 60,000 gadgets today — and we know iGoogle developers will help us quickly expand our collection of social gadgets. You can get information about how to build social gadgets for iGoogle on our developer site: <a href="http://code.google.com/igoogle">code.google.com/igoogle</a>.<br /><br />We introduced these new social features recently to Australia users and are gradually rolling them out to users in the U.S. over the next week.

By making services, such as Webmaster Tools, Custom Search, Site Search and AdSense, easily accessible via the hoster control panel, hosters can easily enable these services for their webmasters. The tools help website owners understand search performance, improve user retention and monetize their content — in other words, run more effective websites.<br /><br />Since we launched the program, <a href="//www.google.com/webmasters/provider/success.html">several hosting platforms</a> have enhanced their offerings by integrating with the appropriate APIs. Webmasters can configure accounts, submit Sitemaps with Webmaster Tools, create Custom Search Boxes for their sites and monetize their content with AdSense, all with a few clicks at their hoster control panel. More partners are in the process of implementing these enhancements.<br /><br />We've just added new tools to the suite:<br /><ul><li><a href="//www.google.com/webelements/">Web Elements</a> allows your customers to enhance their websites with the ease of cut-and-paste. Webmasters can provide maps, real-time news, calendars, presentations, spreadsheets and YouTube videos on their sites. With the Conversation Element, websites can create more engagement with their communities. The Custom Search Element provides inline search over your own site (or others you specify) without having to write any code and various options to <a href="http://googlecustomsearch.blogspot.com/2009/08/custom-search-with-custom-style-peanut.html">customize further</a>. </li><li><a href="http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/">Page Speed</a> allows webmasters to measure the performance of their websites. Snappier websites help users find things faster; the recommendations from these latency tools allow hosters and webmasters to optimize website speed. These techniques can help hosters reduce resource use and optimize network bandwidth.</li><li>The <a href="//www.google.com/webmasters/provider/tips.html">Tips for Hosters page</a> offers a set of tips for hosters for creating a richer website hosting platform. Hosters can improve the convenience and accessibility of tools, while at the same time saving platform costs and earning referral fees. Tips include the use of analytics tools such as Google Analytics to help webmasters understand their traffic and linguistic tools such as <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate_tools?hl=en">Google Translate</a> to help websites reach a broader audience.</li></ul>If you're a hoster and would like to participate in the Google Services for Websites program, please <a href="http://services.google.com/feedback/webmaster_provider_signup">apply here</a>. You'll have to integrate with the service APIs before these services can be made available to your customers, so the earlier you start that process, the better.<br /><br />As always, we'd love to get <a href="//www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters?hl=en">feedback</a> on how the program is working for you, and what improvements you'd like to see.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Rajat Mukherjee, Group Product Manager</span> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </script> <noscript> <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/03/google-at-your-service.html">Earlier this year</a>, we launched <a href="//www.google.com/webmasters/provider/index.html">Google Services for Websites</a>, a program that helps partners, e.g., web hoster and access providers, offer useful and powerful tools to their customers.

Later, AdWords transitioned to a new model where bids were set based on ad clicks (cost-per-click, or CPC). Now, as technology has become even more advanced, we’re seeing the next phase of search engine advertising.<br /><br />What if we told you that you could bid for ads simply based on conversions? (A conversion is a goal set by an advertiser, such as a website visitor purchasing a product or filling out a form.) With <a href="//www.google.com/adwords/conversionoptimizer/">Conversion Optimizer</a>, Google does all the heavy lifting and complicated analysis, letting you bid simply based on how much a conversion is worth to your business (cost-per-acquisition, or CPA). By using Conversion Optimizer, advertisers are not only seeing an increase in profits but have more time to devote to the rest of their business.<br /><br />We’re excited to announce that this AdWords transformation is well underway: advertisers are already using the Conversion Optimizer to manage approximately $1 billion in spend annually.* This new shift benefits two areas Google cares deeply about: showing our users the most relevant ads and helping our advertisers increase their profits.<br /><br />So how does it work? <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Each</span> and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">every</span> time someone types in a search query, AdWords runs a new <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/03/introduction-to-ad-auction.html">keyword auction</a>. Advertisers who are still bidding on a cost-per-click basis will be using the same bid in many different auctions, so sometimes their bid may be too high or too low. However, for advertisers using Conversion Optimizer, we'll automatically adjust the bid for each of these auctions so that it can hit the sweet spot more often, helping the advertiser to make more money.<br /><br />For example, suppose you're advertising an online shoe store and you purchase ads using the keyword "shoes." Because your clicks come from many different types of people who have different intentions, Conversion Optimizer takes many factors into account to optimize your ad performance. If you don't ship internationally, Conversion Optimizer will learn that clicks from international users don't convert and will eliminate traffic from outside the United States. It might also learn that when customers include the word "cheap" in their query, they are particularly likely to convert because your prices are very competitive. Essentially, Google does the detective work — you tell us how much a conversion is worth and our algorithms make it happen.<br /><br />As more advertisers transition to Conversion Optimizer, we look forward to showing more relevant ads and, in doing so, helping our advertisers achieve better results. <a href="//www.google.com/adwords/conversionoptimizer/">Learn more about Conversion Optimizer</a> and get started using it with your AdWords campaigns.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">* Annualized figures based on Q2 sales</span><br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Andrew Silverman, Product Manager, Conversion Optimizer</span> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </script> <noscript> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">This post is the latest in an ongoing series on The Power of Measurement.

Advertisers who are still bidding on a cost-per-click basis will be using the same bid in many different auctions, so sometimes their bid may be too high or too low. However, for advertisers using Conversion Optimizer, we'll automatically adjust the bid for each of these auctions so that it can hit the sweet spot more often, helping the advertiser to make more money.<br /><br />For example, suppose you're advertising an online shoe store and you purchase ads using the keyword "shoes." Because your clicks come from many different types of people who have different intentions, Conversion Optimizer takes many factors into account to optimize your ad performance. If you don't ship internationally, Conversion Optimizer will learn that clicks from international users don't convert and will eliminate traffic from outside the United States. It might also learn that when customers include the word "cheap" in their query, they are particularly likely to convert because your prices are very competitive. Essentially, Google does the detective work — you tell us how much a conversion is worth and our algorithms make it happen.<br /><br />As more advertisers transition to Conversion Optimizer, we look forward to showing more relevant ads and, in doing so, helping our advertisers achieve better results. <a href="//www.google.com/adwords/conversionoptimizer/">Learn more about Conversion Optimizer</a> and get started using it with your AdWords campaigns.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">* Annualized figures based on Q2 sales</span><br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Andrew Silverman, Product Manager, Conversion Optimizer</span> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/leave-math-to-us-advertisers-increase.html?hl=nl'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Blog:Leave the math to us: Advertisers increase their profits using Conversion Optimizer&url=https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/leave-math-to-us-advertisers-increase.html?hl=nl&via=google'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/leave-math-to-us-advertisers-increase.html?hl=nl'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/leave-math-to-us-advertisers-increase.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/ads?hl=nl' rel='tag'> ads </a> , <a class='label' href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/measurement?hl=nl' rel='tag'> measurement </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='2551753920052459367' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/audio-care-packages-for-service-members.html?hl=nl' itemprop='url' title='Audio care packages for service members with Google Voice'> Audio care packages for service members with Google Voice </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> 4 augustus 2009 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(From time to time we invite guests to blog about initiatives of interest and are pleased to have Sergeant Dale Sweetnam join us here.

After listening to descriptions of several Google projects and talking with Googlers and the other faculty attendees, I left with two overall takeaways. First, it's becoming clear that information at scale is changing science and engineering. If you have access to enormous datasets, it opens up whole new avenues for scientific discovery and for solving problems. For example, Google's machine translation tools take advantage of "parallel texts": documents that have been translated by humans from one language to another, with both forms available. By comparing the sentences from enormous numbers of parallel texts, machine translation tools can develop effective translation tools using simple probabilistic approaches. The results are better than any previous attempts at computerized translation, but only if there are billions of words available in parallel texts. Another example of using large-scale information is Flu Trends, which tracks the spread of flu by counting the frequency of certain search terms in Google's search engine; the data is surprisingly accurate and available more quickly than that from traditional approaches.<br /><br />My second takeaway is that it's crucial to keep as much information as possible publicly available. It used to be that much of science and engineering was driven by technology: whoever had the biggest particle accelerator or the fastest computer had an advantage. From now on, information will be just as important as technology: whoever has access to the most information will make the most discoveries and create the most exciting new products. If we want to maintain the leadership position of the U.S., we must find ways to make as much information as possible freely available. There will always be vested commercial interests that want to restrict access to information, but we must fight these interests. The overall benefit to society of publishing information outweighs the benefit to individual companies from restricting it.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Alfred Spector, Vice President of Research and Special Initiatives</span></div> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </script> <noscript> <div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">(Cross-posted from the </span></span><a href="http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2009/08/two-views-from-2009-google-faculty.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Google Research Blog</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">)</span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>We held our fifth <a href="//www.google.com/events/facultysummit2009/">Computer Science Faculty Summit</a> at our Mountain View campus last week.

They don't see "mailbox is full" errors in their email. They don't worry about backing up their data. They can get to any file they need from any computer, anywhere with Internet access and a browser. They can all access and edit the same documents and spreadsheets at the same time as their colleagues. They use Gmail and Google Calendar at work as fluidly and easily as they use their personal Gmail accounts. They video, voice and text chat with their peers globally as naturally as they send email.<br /><br />The IT people at these companies and organizations don't waste time or money buying, installing or managing email servers. They focus on the smart, innovative stuff they want to work on, because they never have to bother with expensive and painful software upgrades, hardware compatibility issues or managing data centers. They have left many IT frustrations and costs behind and moved on to something better.<br /><br />Here at Google, we have a term for the moment a company realizes there's a better way and goes for it: "going Google." Over 1.75 million businesses, schools and organizations have gone Google — including Motorola, University of Notre Dame, the Mercy Corps and many more — and each day, 3,000 more organizations join them. We want every organization to understand the benefits of going Google, so today we're telling the story in a new way. We're kicking off a series of outdoor billboards in four cities — Boston, Chicago, New York and San Francisco — that will change every weekday for the next four weeks. The billboards tell the story of an anonymous IT manager who gets so fed up with the typical IT status quo that his company eventually — you guessed it — goes Google.

They don't see "mailbox is full" errors in their email. They don't worry about backing up their data. They can get to any file they need from any computer, anywhere with Internet access and a browser. They can all access and edit the same documents and spreadsheets at the same time as their colleagues. They use Gmail and Google Calendar at work as fluidly and easily as they use their personal Gmail accounts. They video, voice and text chat with their peers globally as naturally as they send email.<br /><br />The IT people at these companies and organizations don't waste time or money buying, installing or managing email servers. They focus on the smart, innovative stuff they want to work on, because they never have to bother with expensive and painful software upgrades, hardware compatibility issues or managing data centers. They have left many IT frustrations and costs behind and moved on to something better.<br /><br />Here at Google, we have a term for the moment a company realizes there's a better way and goes for it: "going Google." Over 1.75 million businesses, schools and organizations have gone Google — including Motorola, University of Notre Dame, the Mercy Corps and many more — and each day, 3,000 more organizations join them. We want every organization to understand the benefits of going Google, so today we're telling the story in a new way. We're kicking off a series of outdoor billboards in four cities — Boston, Chicago, New York and San Francisco — that will change every weekday for the next four weeks. The billboards tell the story of an anonymous IT manager who gets so fed up with the typical IT status quo that his company eventually — you guessed it — goes Google.
