I try not to do too much self promotion here on Hillsboro Today, but I'm a big fan of promoting business in the community and when a business has something that is good for the community to offer, I'm behind it. This time it happens to be my business. One of the things we do at Blue Marlin Computer Services is new technology, and the IT industry is exploding with new technology. Some of it is good for your business, some of it is a waste of time and money; every business has to decide which is which for themselves. What is great for me, may not work for you.
One thing I have watched and learned over the last decade is Google has their act together. Not only is it one of the greatest places to work, but their products are some of the best ideas out there, and when they do something, they do it right. I mean, no one does search like Google, and did you know Google owns YouTube? The brilliant minds at Google have come up with this method of video conferencing called Hangouts. It allows 10 participants to connect, discuss and share things. Recently, they have taken it to the next level by combining this conferencing ability with YouTube videos and their Google Drive products. They call it Hangouts On Air. I can now schedule and invite participants to an event (up to 9 additional video connections), add 300 or more via Google chat, use screen share to show them things on our computers like a presentation or videos and record the whole things as a YouTube video to share or review later. Oh, by the way all this is free from Google. All you need to use the service is an account; your gmail login will work just fine.
So, where does Blue Marlin come in? Well, this may be a little intimidating for some. So we help you through it, show you the ropes, we are there the first few times you want to do this. We help you understand what went well and where we need more work. Once you got it, your business will be doing more, saving money and getting noticed. Remember, this is from Google; so every time you Hangout you increase your search engine ranking. Here's a link to my business blog with more information. You can also give me a call at 636 208-4683.
