Test Drive ‘The Lean Startup’ by Eric Ries to explore Entrepreneurship

By |May 26th, 2017|Categories: Economy, Featured, Google, National News, Reviews, Tech News, YouTube|Tags: , , , , , , |

In 2011 Eric Ries published a New York Times bestseller book titled The Lean Startup covering a selection of topics in entrepreneurship. When starting a company it can be a lot like an experiment. Ries does an elegant job of showing how testing products in an effective manner to acquire feedback is extremely useful. He goes on to show how using feedback to help pivot in product development can help reduce cost and maximize return of investment. It was one of the first books that I have read that focuses on business management. Overall, I find it an excellent introductory piece of

Google has recently introduced a new update for their mobile search featuring live music events in local areas around the world. This latest design provides users the ability to browse over events for the current day, the next day, which concerts are coming up for the weekend, and next weekend. Live music events on Google search.

Google Partners is a informative platform that allows businesses to gain knowledge within their industry via Google. The Internet can be overwhelming at times, and I wanted to break down some of the features by Google to easily understand. When setting up an email account with Google, the company allows users to the Google Drive platform as well as many other applications designed by their company. These applications can be very useful for businesses and producers. From translation to social media, Google provides a large amount of tools for producers first starting out on the Web. If you feel that

Talks at Google features the HBO’s ‘Silicon Valley’ Cast for a Comical Discussion

By |May 4th, 2017|Categories: California, Entertainment, Featured, Fiction, Film News, Google, National News, Pop Culture, San Francisco, San Jose, Tech News, YouTube|Tags: , , , , , , , , , |

Talks at Google will feature guest speakers to share industry knowledge within their field. Recently, they had the cast from HBO's Silicon Valley up for a lively discussion on the show. Thomas Middleditch, Kumail Nanjiani, Amanda Crew, Zach Woods, and Martin Starr brought their true colors out for their stop by Talks at Google. Kumail Nanjiani opens the discussion with a dig at Google for not having chairs in a viewing area. That is kind of low rent of Google to not provide chairs to their employees. Public libraries have chairs. I find Nanjiani's joke at the start to

Explore Effective Methods to Producing Engaging Web Content for Multimedia Creators

By |April 23rd, 2017|Categories: Economy, Entertainment, Featured, Google, National News, Tech News, World News, YouTube|Tags: , , , , , , , , |

As the Internet continues to grow, the demand for content continues to grow. Web producers continue to face the problem of creating engaging content that connects with multiple demographics. The content and product is going to need to be refined to a point that is easy to consume, informative, and valuable enough to need to share with friends and family. When I first started blogging ten years ago, I would write about music related topics. Over the years, I have been able to refine that style of content, as well as exploring different avenues of content from sports, politics,

Advertising on Social Media in Comparison to Radio, Newspaper and Televison

By |April 20th, 2017|Categories: Advertising, Economy, Entertainment, Featured, Film News, Google, National News, Pop Culture, Tech News, United States, YouTube|Tags: , , , , , , , , |

As a media producer with over seven years experience producing Web content, I have been able to find out the best practices to advertising for different companies. Before a company sets an advertising budget, before a company opens their doors, and before they pick out a spot for the business, the first thing a company should do is create a new product that fills demand. Once the company has gauged the amount of revenue they will collect in comparison to spending costs, then they can start to create engaging ways to deliver the product to a mass market. The

The Facebook F8 Conference Lacks to Deliver Innovative New Products

By |April 18th, 2017|Categories: Augmented Reality, California, Economy, Entertainment, Featured, Gaming, Google, National News, Pop Culture, Tech News, Virtual Reality, YouTube|Tags: , , , , , , , , , |

The first day to the Facebook F8 Conference was held today. Overall I felt it lacked focus at demoing new products to get people excited about upcoming developments within the company. "We're making the camera the first Augmented Reality Platform." - Mark Zuckerberg The conference did shine light on social interaction within virtual reality. The Social VR application launched today on beta. Overall it looks cute, but has a lot of work to be done before it has a definable purpose. One major flaw I see in virtual reality shared experiences in general is compatibility. Users will need to have
