[...] Als erstes klickte ich auf Jay’s Beitrag. Dort stellte sich schnell heraus, dass der Altmeister Google Desktop als Sammelbegriff für alle möglichen – vorwiegend webbasierten – Google Applikationen gebraucht, angefangen von A wie Analytics bis W wie Webmaster Tools. Aus seiner Liste ist lediglich Google Talk in dem Sinne eine Desktop Anwendung, dass der Client auf einem lokalen Rechner installiert werden muss. [...]

Generation Google – überholen ohne einzuholen…

Goggle als Webmailer, als Terminplaner, als Office-Ersatz, als Lernplattform. Keine Frage, Goggle wird immer beliebter. Und einflussreicher. Wird Google am Ende zum Microsoft des Internetzeitalters?…

Hello Jay,

Very nice post. I recently gave a talk to some students about the importance of blogging for the “learning professional” (The slides are shared on my website… not posting the link, since this post may then be marked as spam).

Blogging is an excellent way for people to reflect, write, and communicate with a community of practitioners.

I encourage all my students and workshop attendeed to engage in blogging to improve their thought process and learn.

Jay, do you have any anecdotes of how blogging has helped your workshop attendees learn better. I (and many others, I am sure) would like to hear about how different people are using blogging as a tool for learning.

Thanks,Jay, for the nice review of Google tools. You missed one of my favorites, Google Notebook. NB allows you to clip information for the web, make notes, organize info, and then share with others. I use it often when doing collaborative work with project teams or for clients. Wonderful tool.

Jay, Nice post. Many of your readers may not realize that Google’s index of your files is put up into the Googleplex in the sky and is not solely resident on the users desktop. If for any reason you don’t want your stuff to be indexed this way, be sure to look closely at exactly how Google Desktop Search works before you activate it.

I’ve also been told that it slows things down – supposedly addressed but not sure about status of this potential problem.
