New media tools in online communications continued

Hey guys.. Catherine here again.
As I've already talked about New types of media i taught i would share more.. Cause Im nice like that!! :)

When i say Google googles what do you think of?

Personally I vision a huge Google pair of glasses. Yes they are real but not Google googles is actually a new media tool to help online communications and pr professionals. Google goggles is a downloadable app that uses image recognition to connect peoples images to the internet.

For exsample if someone takes a picture of the londons eye it would show up on google goggles and give information about it!

What are the hidden benifits of google goggles? :)

Well of coarse its a great idea, a company could use it to connect their product to a company. They could take a picture of somewhere and if there business was close by it could promote it to them.

Also, if someone took a picture of lets say for exsample, a can of coke, it could bring them to a page advertising coke, selling coke and even suggesting the nearest place to buy it.

The internet can be scary in so many ways! It connects people to worlds of online communications that they never imagined!

Have a think about it
Happy PR days
Catherine!
