Here's a look at what people wanted to know, and four other trending topics from the week of May 21.</p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><h3>Attack in Manchester</h3><p>This week, a terrorist attack in Manchester, England claimed the lives of 22 people attending an Ariana Grande concert. People turned to Google to make sense of the event, searching to find out what happened, where the bomb went off, and who was responsible. Top countries searching for “Manchester” since the attacks include Mauritius, Ireland and Uganda, while the top U.S. states are New Hampshire, Connecticut and Massachusetts.</p><h3>BRETter prepare</h3><p>Search interest in “<a href="https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=now%207-d&geo=US&q=hurricane%20season">hurricane season</a>” spiked 160 percent when the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced that it predicts an “above average” Atlantic hurricane season this year. The organization expects five to nine hurricanes, which led people to search “Is NOAA ever right about the number of hurricanes?” and “How does NOAA predict hurricanes?” Here’s one thing we do know: The next hurricane will be named Bret.</p><h3>Noses are red</h3><p>On Thursday in the U.S., we celebrated <strike>the return of “Love Actually”</strike> Red Nose Day, which raises money and awareness to end child poverty. To honor the cause, the cast of “Love Actually” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9vGoj449s4">got back together</a> for a 12-minute sequel, and stars like Ben Affleck, Ed Sheeran, Ellen DeGeneres and Emma Watson donned their red noses. Despite the backing from A-list celebs, people still turned to search for more info, like “Where can I get a Red Nose?” and “Where did Red Nose Day originate?” Fun fact: Though Rudolph used to dominate the red nose game, the biggest spike in searches for “red nose” now occur in May for Red Nose Day. </p><h3>Pandora-monium </h3><p>On Saturday, <a href="https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/destinations/animal-kingdom/pandora-world-of-avatar/">Pandora World of Avatar</a> will open at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Orlando (what would Walt think if we called it Pandor-lando?). You don’t have to rely on your CGI-inspired imagination anymore, this park is REAL (and it’s not built from unobtainium). Search questions ranged from the logistical: “What day does Avatar land open?” to the more curious: “How much did it cost to build Pandora World?” to the niche: “What font is used for Disney’s Avatar land?” </p><h3>It was 50 years ago today</h3><p>Fixing A Hole in our hearts since 1967, this weekend marks the 50th anniversary of the release of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” Fans got a little help from a friend (that’s us!) when they searched for the origin of the Beatles’ name, where they’re from, and why they broke up. And who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned British pop rivalry? Search interest for “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” spiked 600 percent higher this week than when Harry Styles’ album was released earlier in the month, proving that the Beatles’ music is Only Getting Better. </p><p><br/></p></div></div>

<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>Nguyen Thi Tham has worked as a farmer her entire life. She has always relied on her neighbors for information about the weather and market conditions, and she always thought she was too old to use the internet. But after a few lessons, she is now able to search for the weather forecast in Bac Giang province online, and knows exactly when to cover and protect her crops from the elements so she can harvest and sell more vegetables, even after heavy rains.<br/></p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>Nearly 50 percent of Vietnam’s population—or about 45 million people—are farmers just like Tham. They rely on farming for employment and their livelihoods. But, like many places around the world, income from agriculture is declining and <a href="http://www.fao.org/vietnam/fao-in-viet-nam/viet-nam-at-a-glance/en/">productivity is low</a>, with <a href="http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/116761474894023632/pdf/108510-WP-PUBLIC.pdf">just 20 percent</a> of the country’s GDP coming from the sector. This is a huge challenge for a country that depends so heavily on farming. </p><p>Technology combined with basic digital literacy can transform lives and give rise to new opportunities. That’s why, with a Google.org grant and technical expertise from Google volunteers, we’re helping the <a href="http://vietnamfarmerunion.vn/sitepages/chuyenmuc/1082/introduction">Vietnam Farmer’s Union</a> (VNFU) deliver digital skills training to at least 30,000 farmers over the next three years.</p><p>Through online and offline training programs on how to find information on the internet, use basic productivity tools, or navigate agricultural apps, we hope more farmers across Vietnam will be able to boost productivity and their overall quality of life. We look forward to scaling the program through VNFU’s broad network (4 out of 5 households in Vietnam have someone who’s a member of the VNFU) and with their deep experience educating their beneficiaries.</p></div></div>

</div>
</div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>Over the course of conducting research and several pilot trainings since the end of 2016, we’ve spoken to farmers who use the internet to improve efficiency in other ways. Some told us that they no longer needed to travel for miles to compare crop prices or the cost of farming equipment. And some were able to search for information to help them treat common ailments afflicting their animals, saving them a visit to a veterinarian several villages away. </p><p>During these pilot trainings, we also learned that many farmers already have internet access at home, or even their own smart devices, but they don’t necessarily know how to use them to their full potential. So we expanded the trainings to include the farmers’ children or grandchildren. Through this “buddy” system, pairing farmer and child, the farmers have someone at home to help them, and in this way, we hope the training program will have longer-lasting and more wide-ranging impact.</p><p>While we may not be able to reach every farmer across Vietnam, we hope that newfound digital literacy skills will lead to incremental improvements in the ways and lives of many farmers like Tham, and contribute to better outcomes for their communities.</p></div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~4/oTbbwo23hxE" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Fri, 26 May 2017 07:10:00 +0000Fri, 26 May 2017 07:10:00 +0000The Official Google BlogMicrosoft’s reason for renaming Beam as Mixer was a legal one

But educators are struggling to keep up with the demand, often because they lack the professional development, confidence and resources to successfully teach their students. </p><p>Because of these challenges, we’re working to increase the availability of quality computer science education and access to CS skills by empowering CS teachers globally. We’ve recently <a href="https://blog.google/topics/education/our-ongoing-commitment-support-computer-science-educators/">launched</a> new support in Europe, the Middle East and Africa through <a href="http://www.cs4hs.com">CS4HS</a>, a program to fund universities and nonprofits designing and delivering rigorous computer science professional development for teachers.</p><p>We’re excited to be working with 79 organizations worldwide, and 28 in the EMEA region, who are committed to increasing the technical and teaching skills of educators, and building communities of ongoing learning. We believe that these organizations are committed to delivering high-quality teacher professional development programs with a deep impact in their local community and a strong potential to increase their reach.</p></div></div>

Spanning from 1960s counterculture to innovative tech in Silicon Valley, <i>California: Designing Freedom</i> features more than 200 objects and includes everything from political posters designed by nun and activist Corita Kent in 1965 to Waymo’s self-driving car (on public display for the first time in the UK).</p><p>Through the exhibition, curators Justin McGuirk and Brendan McGetrick examine how software and hardware designers in the San Francisco Bay Area influence our daily lives in significant ways.

<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>As VP of Design at Google, I find this exhibition particularly exciting because it gives the public an inside look at the process of designing great software. It’s an honor to be part of California’s rich design story, and we’re thrilled to have such diverse work included alongside our peers. Justin and I recently discussed California’s defining characteristics and the evolution of our design system at Google in an interview for the <a href="https://goo.gl/6EHMK9">show’s catalogue</a>. <i>An edited and condensed version of the interview is below.</i></p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p><b>Justin McGuirk: You were initially quite skeptical about the idea of California as a center of design. Can you explain why?<br/></b>Matias Duarte: Software (for lack of a better term to describe the medium that Silicon Valley operates in) is very new. Software grew up in a pragmatic “can we just get things off the ground?” way.</p><p>Design, as opposed to engineering, touches the human experience. If you’re building an airplane that’s just going to haul cargo back and forth, the human experience is not prioritized. Once you have passengers, then you start to consider everything about the human experience: aesthetics, comfort, and ergonomics. Silicon Valley was a lot like that, which is why for a long time we saw this naïve expression in our software interfaces. There was almost an endearing primitivism to it. So I’d find myself hiring people from New York or Hollywood to do these things. But it’s changing.<br/></p><p><b>You’re head of a department called Material Design. What does that mean?<br/></b>I started working in concert with design leaders across Google to come up with a design system that we’d use across the company, which meant for Android, iOS and the web. And then I thought let’s work on a design system that makes the fundamentals of these software experiences easy and useful for everyone, so designers and developers aren’t starting from scratch. And we ended up calling that <a href="https://goo.gl/nQgAvR">Material Design</a>. We rallied the company around that banner, updating products across all these platforms. And when that was done, I went to Sundar [Pichai] who had just become CEO, and I said, if this is going to be an actual change at Google, we need to make this not just a mountain we climbed once and patted ourselves on the back for, we need to make this an ongoing effort. It needs to be a product—for all our developers and all the third parties that are hungry for things like this.</p><p><b>Why did you call it Material Design?</b><br/>We were thinking about how we wanted designers to perceive it. We had a tagline for this unnamed thing—a system for rational space, form, and motion. The metaphor is: think about appropriately designing with the material of software, in the same way that if you were learning to be an architect or an industrial designer, you would learn to design with wood or steel or aluminium.<br/></p><p><b>What is it that makes software design unique as a medium?</b><br/>Just like wood or steel or glass, software has certain properties—one of these properties is that it’s constantly evolving. It doesn’t require someone to go back to the store to buy a better one. It evolves in reaction to your interactions, or to advances in technology. And that deeply influences the way that software is designed. It’s intrinsically iterative as you’re trying to approach a better solution.<br/></p><p><b>In many ways, that is one of the defining characteristics of design from California, this impatience to get a product out into the world so that it can be updated and improved. It’s a new design methodology based on a culture of rapidly evolving tech products.<br/></b>Google comes from a background in software, so there’s a willingness to be transparent about the process. We iterate in the public space because we’re not the kind of company that thinks we can do our best work by hiding it. This is how Californian companies are starting to think.<br/></p><hr/><i>California: Designing Freedom</i> is on view at the Design Museum in London through October 15, 2017.

But it’s not just for personal use. With more than <a href="https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/2657289?hl=en">200 browser management policies</a>, industry-leading <a href="https://enterprise.google.com/chrome/chrome-browser-security/">security</a> and regularly scheduled updates, Chrome is also built for enterprises.</p><p>Adoption of Chrome browser in enterprise has doubled in the last two years and we’re committed to making it even easier for IT admins to deploy and manage Chrome within their organization. Say hello to the <a href="https://enterprise.google.com/chrome/chrome-browser/#download">new Chrome enterprise bundle.</a> </p><p>The new bundle includes multiple tools in a single download that IT admins need for a simple, managed deployment. Today we are also announcing <a href="https://www.citrix.com/blogs/2017/05/24/google-cloud-innovation-at-citrix-synergy/">official Citrix support</a> with features for employees that work with legacy applications.</p><h3>Chrome support for Citrix XenApp, Terminal Services & Windows Server <br/></h3><p>Citrix use is nearly ubiquitous in Fortune 500 companies, and the web browser is one of the most virtualized applications. So we’re adding <a href="https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7380899">official support</a> for running Chrome within a Citrix XenApp environment as well as Terminal Services. Chrome is also now supported while running on Windows Server. In Chrome 58, which we began <a href="https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2017/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_9.html">rolling out this month</a>, we include support for GPU acceleration within Citrix environments, <a href="https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7349337?hl=en">roaming profiles</a> and Windows Server auto-detection for easy configuration for IT administrators. Visit the Google Chrome team May 23-25 in Booth #404 at Citrix Synergy Orlando to learn more.</p><p>"With official Citrix support for Chrome, we've invested heavily in joint product development, engineering, sales and marketing. We are seeing the returns with continued customer success and large-scale adoption, particularly in industries such as retail and healthcare." Vipin Borkar, Director of Product Management, Citrix</p><h3>Deploying and using Chrome just got easier</h3><p>While the existing, standalone Chrome MSI installation package is still available for companies to download, the new Chrome enterprise bundle provides a single package for IT admins that contains the latest version of the Chrome MSI, the Chrome Legacy Browser Support (LBS) extension as well as administrative policy templates.</p><p>It’s common for enterprises to need access to legacy web applications that require older versions of IE due to the use of outdated plugins such as Silverlight and ActiveX. These requirements no longer prevent you from deploying Chrome to your organization thanks to the included <a href="https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/3019558?hl=en">Legacy Browser support (LBS) extension</a> in the Chrome enterprise bundle.</p><p>This allows IT administrators to configure their employees’ desktops so that when someone clicks a link in Chrome that needs a legacy browser to work, the URL will seamlessly open in a legacy browser. When they're done with the legacy app and type in other URLs that are not specified by the admin, LBS will switch the user back to Chrome to ensure they remain secure.</p><h3>Everything you need to securely deploy and manage Chrome</h3><p>Also included in the bundle are the current administrative policy templates that allow admins to configure the available <a href="http://chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3">Chrome policies</a>, which will be enforced in the enterprise environment. If Chrome is already deployed but you’re not actively managing Chrome, the policy templates are also <a href="https://enterprise.google.com/chrome/chrome-browser/#">available for download separately</a>. For more information on how to configure Chrome policies, check out our Chrome <a href="https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/3115278?hl=en">Deployment Guide.</a></p><p>As more enterprise applications move to the web, it’s more critical than ever to have a path for support. IT admins can email or call Google 24 hours a day. This service is included for G Suite customers and is <a href="https://goo.gl/5b6B5X">available</a> on a for-fee basis for non-G Suite customers.</p><p>With more than 10,000 Chrome users, Carrie Gernant of the Wyoming Department of Enterprise Technology Services notes: “We value the ability to sync from device to device and bring all of our settings and bookmarks with us. As part of IT it makes it easy to do my job, everything is there for me whenever and wherever I need it. The security Chrome provides gives us peace of mind. The auto-updates, phishing protection and built-in malware are all working together to keep our data safe."</p><p>Our new <a href="https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7358568">Chrome enterprise bundle</a> provides organizations with all of the management tools to make employees productive and can be downloaded <a href="https://enterprise.google.com/chrome/chrome-browser/#download">here</a> today. We plan to continue to add additional enterprise tools as they become available.<br/></p></div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~4/-aVOk4CyYGM" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Tue, 23 May 2017 17:00:00 +0000Tue, 23 May 2017 17:00:00 +0000The Official Google BlogAI in the newsroom: What’s happening and what’s next?http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~3/oT0WCmawNSM/<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>Bringing people together to discuss the forces shaping journalism is central to our mission at the <a href="http://g.co/newslab">Google News Lab</a>.

<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><ul><li>Deploying more than a dozen AI-powered robotic cameras at the 2016 Summer Olympics to capture angles not easily available to journalists<br/></li><li>Using Google’s <a href="https://cloud.google.com/vision/">Cloud Vision API</a> to classify and tag photos automatically throughout the report<br/></li><li>Increasing news coverage of quarterly earnings reports from 400 to 4,000 companies using automation</li></ul><p>The report also addressed key concerns, including risks associated with unchecked algorithms, potential for workflow disruption, and the growing gap in skill sets.</p><p>Here are three themes that emerged from the conversation with Rockwell and D’Aniello:</p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><h3><b>1. AI will increase a news organization's ability to focus on content creation</b></h3><p>D’Aniello noted that journalists, often “pressed for resources,” are forced to “spend most of their time creating multiple versions of the same content for different outlets.” AI can reduce monotonous tasks like these and allow journalists to to spend more of their time on their core expertise: reporting.<br/></p><p>For Rockwell, AI could also be leveraged to power new reporting, helping journalists analyze massive data sets to surface untold stories. Rockwell noted that “the big stories will be found in data, and whether we can find them or not will depend on our sophistication using large datasets.”<br/></p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><h3><b>2. AI can help improve the quality of dialogue online and help organizations better understand their readers' needs. </b></h3><p>Given the increasing abuse and harassment found in online conversations, many publishers are backing away from allowing comments on articles. For the Times, the <a href="https://www.perspectiveapi.com/">Perspective API</a> tool developed by Jigsaw (part of Google’s parent company Alphabet), is creating an opportunity to encourage constructive discussions online by using machine learning to increase the efficiency of comment moderation. Previously, the Times could only moderate comments on 10 percent of articles. The Times aspires to use Perspective to enable commenting on all its articles.<br/></p><p>The Times is also thinking about using AI to increase the relevance of what they deliver to readers. As Rockwell notes, “Our readers have always looked to us to filter the world, but to do that only through editorial curation is a one-size-fits-all approach. There is a lot we can do to better serve them.”<br/></p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><h3><b>3. Applying journalistic standards is essential to AI’s successful implementation in newsrooms</b></h3><p>Both panelists agreed that the editorial standards that go into creating quality journalism should be applied to AI-fueled journalism. As Francesco Marconi, the author of the AP report, remarked, “Humans make mistakes. Algorithms make mistakes. All the editorial standards should be applied to the technology.”<br/></p><p>Here are a few approaches we’ve seen for how those standards can be applied to the technology:<br/></p><ul><li><i>Pairing up journalists with the tech.</i> At the AP, <a href="http://www.niemanlab.org/2015/09/from-nieman-reports-from-earnings-reports-to-baseball-recaps-automation-and-algorithms-are-becoming-a-bigger-part-of-the-news/">business journalists trained software</a> to understand how to write an earnings report.<br/></li><li><i>Serving as editorial gatekeepers.</i> News editors should play a role in synthesizing and framing the information AI produces.<br/></li><li><i>Ensuring more inclusive reporting.</i> In 2016, Google.org, USC and the Geena Davis Foundation used machine learning to create a <a href="https://viterbi.usc.edu/news/news/2016/mediaiq-women-software-media.htm">tool</a> that collects data on gender portrayals in media.<br/></li></ul><p></p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><h2><b>What’s ahead</b></h2><p>What will it take for AI to be a positive force in journalism? The conversation showed that while the path wasn’t certain, getting to the right answers would require close collaboration between the technology industry, news organizations, and journalists.<br/></p><p>“There is a lot of work to do, but it’s about the mindset,” D’Aniello said. “Technology was seen as a disruptor of the newsroom, and it was difficult to introduce things. I don’t think this is the case anymore. The urgency and the need is perceived at the editorial level.”<br/></p><p>We look forward to continuing to host more conversations on important topics like this one.

<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p></p><p><b>We’re excited to learn more about you! Tell us about your startup...and these fancy looking glasses.<br/></b>Our company, <a href="http://www.neofect.com/en/">Neofect</a>, has been around since 2010. Today we have 50 employees working primarily on high-tech, rehabilitative devices, including the <a href="http://www.neofect.com/en/product/rapael/">Rapael Smart Glove</a>, which helps patients strengthen the range of their hand motions. Our business’ core goal has always been to help people have fun while doing everyday, routine activities. That’s why we invented various games associated with our rehabilitative devices. </p><p></p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>We began making LED glasses for fun. We thought it would offer a way to get people to laugh with their friends and have more fun at parties and events. That’s how Chemion got started, and I think this is what differentiates us from other startups—we’re making these glasses just to have fun ourselves and let our users have fun, too.</p><p><b>What were some challenges to launching Chemion?<br/></b>When we launched the LED glasses in February 2016, we only had B2B experience. First, we tried focusing exclusively on the domestic Korean market, hoping the glasses would catch on at electronic music festivals or become trendy at nightclubs in Seoul. We were disappointed to find the local reception just wasn’t there. But instead of giving up, we knew we needed to re-think how to reach out to new customers. So we did. That is when we started to expand to overseas markets and focus on our digital reach, specifically, via e-commerce and online social platforms like Facebook and YouTube.</p><p><b>How did you turn your business around and make Chemion popular?<br/></b>Initially, we faced challenges setting up marketing campaigns online. Every time I encountered an issue, I would search for and watch how-to videos on YouTube, including the ones made by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/googlekrwebinar">AdWords Online Seminar</a> in Korea. This was a huge help in setting up AdWords and I still use the channel today to learn more about Google Analytics.<br/><br/>Eventually, we reached out to the Korea Google Marketing Solutions team for ideas, too. They gave thoughtful advice on campaign optimization strategies. They even shared their screen via Google Hangouts which was cool and extremely time-saving, since I could see exactly what I needed to do. I thank the team for their help!<br/><br/><b>At what point did your product really begin to take off?<br/></b>It’s a funny story actually. Chemion glasses were featured in a video that we didn’t even know about for a while! In Q4 2016, sales suddenly shot up, especially from overseas. People were buying Chemion in Germany, the US, the UK, Japan, and even Austria. We had no idea why!<br/><br/>Eventually we found out through our customers that a YouTube creator <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkT7OFwWcLV62R7Ix3Ldd-A">The Never Cat</a> had posted a video about how he used our glasses and created a role-playing mask to represent a gaming character. He was really creative and found Chemion online and incorporated the glasses into his mask. He took something we had made and made something new and original, which is very cool. Ever since his video went viral, people started asking where they could purchase the glasses and the name of our brand. That’s when we realized the power of YouTube.</p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p><b>What’s next for Chemion?<br/></b>We need to get our brand out there and reach people who want to have fun. Video is an important medium for getting our message across—especially through the power of YouTube creators. When a famous YouTube creator, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fewGmJd0q94">Unbox Therapy</a>, decided to review us, we saw a direct impact on our sales, better than our own offline marketing events. That’s really the beauty of the Internet—it allows us to find and connect with people we otherwise wouldn’t be able to reach.</p></div></div>

People expect to be able to immediately turn to their device to know, go, do, and buy—and marketers need to be able to meet those consumers in the moment. But that’s not enough. As people continue to embrace new, natural ways of interacting with devices, ads need to get even smarter and more frictionless—otherwise people will just move on.</p><p>That’s why a big focus of today is how machine learning technology–the same tech that is making Gmail replies smarter and helping you get things done around the house with the Google Assistant—will be critical to advertising. It can help marketers analyze countess signals in real time to anticipate consumer needs and reach them with more tailored ads–right at the moment they're looking to go somewhere, buy, or do something. Machine learning is also key to measuring the consumer journeys that now span multiple devices and channels, across both the digital and physical worlds. It’s something we believe will shape the future of marketing for years to come.</p><p>Check out the <a href="http://adwords.blogspot.com">AdWords blog</a> for more detail on Google Marketing Next and all these announcements. <br/></p><h3>Google Attribution: measure the impact of your marketing</h3><p> With so many ways to connect with consumers, it's hard for advertisers to answer what should be a simple question—is my marketing working? To truly understand how your different marketing efforts lead to sales, you need to connect the steps of the customer journey as people move between devices—AND value every customer moment, whether it occurs on display, video, search, social, email or another channel.</p><p><b>Google Attribution</b> is a new product that helps you do just that. It helps you understand how all of your customer touchpoints work together to drive sales, even when people research across multiple devices before making a purchase. By integrating AdWords, DoubleClick Search and Google Analytics, it brings together data from all your marketing channels. The end result is a complete view of your performance. Google Attribution is currently in beta and will roll out to more advertisers over the coming months.</p><h3>Helping marketers bridge the digital and physical worlds</h3><p>Mobile has blurred the line between the digital and physical worlds. While most purchases still happen in-store, people are increasingly going on their smartphones to do research beforehand. That’s why marketers are using tools like <a href="https://adwords.googleblog.com/2016/12/engage-holiday-shoppers-with-promoted-places-in-Google-Maps.html">Promoted Places</a> on Google Maps and <a href="https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/3057972">local inventory ads</a> on Google Shopping to showcase special offers and what’s in-stock at nearby stores to help consumers decide where to go.</p><p>To help marketers gain more insight about consumer journeys that start online and end in a store, and deliver better ad experiences based on that data, we introduced <a href="https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/6100636">store visits measurement</a> back in 2014. This is no easy thing—especially in places with multi-story malls or dense cities like Tokyo, Japan and São Paulo, Brazil where many business locations are situated close together. So we use <a href="https://adwords.googleblog.com/2017/03/new-measurement-innovations-unlock-more.html">advanced machine learning and mapping technology</a> to tackle these challenges. We’ve recently upgraded our deep learning model to train on larger data sets and confidently measure more store visits in challenging scenarios. </p><p>Store visits measurement is already available today for Search, Shopping and Display. And soon this technology will be available for YouTube TrueView campaigns, along with new <a href="https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2404182">location extensions</a> for video ads.</p><p>Measuring store visits is just one part of the equation. You also need to know if your online ads are ringing your cash register. So in the coming months, we’ll be rolling out <b>store sales measurement</b> so you can measure in-store revenue in addition to the store visits delivered by your search ads. </p><h3>Powerful audience insights for Search Ads</h3><p>Finally, people are often searching with the intent to buy. So we’re also bringing<b> <a href="https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2497941">in-market audiences</a> to Search Ads </b>to help you reach people who are ready to purchase the products and services you offer. For example, if you’re a car dealership, you can increase your reach among users who have already searched for “SUVs with best gas mileage” and “spacious SUVs.” In-market audiences use the power of machine learning to better understand when people are close to buying something. </p>The convergence of mobile, data and machine learning are unlocking new opportunities for marketers. See the <a href="https://adwords.googleblog.com/2017/05/powering-ads-and-analytics-innovations.html">AdWords blog</a> for more detail. </div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~4/A-uCjEV-0Xk" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Tue, 23 May 2017 13:00:00 +0000Tue, 23 May 2017 13:00:00 +0000The Official Google BlogSee What’s New with Windows Ink in the Windows 10 Creators Update

To give you some travel planning inspiration this year, we looked at historical Google Maps data to find the top trending places of the season throughout the U.S. Follow our summer lists below to head to the hot spots or avoid the crowds–the choice is yours. Already know where you’re going? Then create your own <a href="https://blog.google/products/maps/keep-track-your-favorite-places-and-share-them-friends/">lists</a> and share them with friends via your favorite messaging and social apps.</p><p><b>Drinks with a view </b></p><p>When the weather is warm, bars with outdoor patios, views of the water, rooftops, and creative cocktails draw the biggest crowds. This summer <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/placelists/list/1saLjSYjCgv156qghLNfFW_ifyP8">bars list</a> is NYC-heavy so if you’re thinking about the Big Apple this summer–this one’s for you. </p><p><b>Education + entertainment = edutainment</b></p><p>Who says learning isn’t fun? Definitely not summer travelers. Whether you’re a parent trying to infuse education into summer break or a young adult squeezing in some culture between beach days, our <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/placelists/list/17hK2r2PrZl2NfiWu42egPuM72CE">edutainment list</a> highlights the museums, aquariums, and zoos you can’t miss. </p><p><b>Summer grubbin’</b></p><p>Seeing the sights can work up an appetite and there’s an obvious formula for what makes a restaurant a good summer choice–seafood and waterfront seating (and bonus points if it’s an iconic location). Our <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/placelists/list/11BJ6sXgVRXJEFnugx6nhU8vLOfE">restaurants list</a> covers eateries from fast casual to seafood buffets to pizzerias that are sure to satisfy your appetite wherever you are. </p><p><b>Surf’s up</b></p><p>Summer isn’t complete until you’ve walked through the sand, soaked up the sun, and waded in the surf. This list of trending <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/placelists/list/1Q0K1EjMXJsRBNlq7l7KP1_feoWM">summer beaches</a> includes the sandy shores of the Pacific, Atlantic and even the Great Lakes. </p><p>Places to go and things to see are only half of the summer equation–the company we keep is the other (maybe even better) half. This summer it’s easy to meet up with friends while on the go using <a href="https://blog.google/products/maps/share-your-trips-and-real-time-location-google-maps/">Location Sharing</a> in Google Maps. Here are a few more Google Maps features to help you navigate your summer without any headaches.</p><ul><li><p>Save an area of the map for use while <a href="https://blog.google/products/maps/navigate-and-search-real-world-online/">offline</a>. Just download the region to your offline maps so when you don’t have Wi-Fi or ample data, you can still search for places, get directions, and use turn-by-turn navigation.</p></li><li><p>Reviews on Google Maps are automatically <a href="https://blog.google/products/maps/local-reviews-your-language-wherever-you-are/">translated</a> into your preferred language so when you’re looking for the perfect tapas place or sake bar, you can choose a spot with confidence when traveling internationally.</p></li><li><p>Know whether parking will be hard to find wherever you go with <a href="https://blog.google/products/maps/know-you-go-parking-difficulty-google-maps/">parking difficulty icons</a>, and save <a href="https://blog.google/products/maps/remember-where-you-parked-google-maps/">where you parked</a> on the map so you never forget where you left your car. </p></li></ul><p>Take Google Maps with you this summer to find places to go and things to see, meet up with friends, and get where you’re going.</p><p><br/></p></div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~4/VnESYV-ty9c" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Tue, 23 May 2017 10:00:00 +0000Tue, 23 May 2017 10:00:00 +0000The Official Google BlogAndroid Pay says "Привет" to Russiahttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~3/C-v4-sQDpgI/<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>Stepping out for groceries or an afternoon coffee?

Chadia lives in Lebanon, but her children and grandchildren are spread across the world. To bridge this geographical gap, Christina and her siblings gave their grandmother an Android smartphone. Much to Chadia’s surprise, she was able to use her phone in Arabic straight out of the box.</p><p>This isn’t magic—it’s the work of a dedicated localization team at Google, whose mission is to create a diverse user experience that fits every language and every culture. Spread over more than 30 countries, our team of passionate translators and reviewers makes sure that all Google products are fun and easy to use in 70+ languages—and sound natural to people everywhere. Localization goes beyond translation. For example, while references to baseball and donuts work well in the U.S., these aren’t necessarily popular concepts in other cultures. So we might change them to football in Italy and croissant in France.</p><p>With more and more people from around the world coming online every day, the localization industry keeps growing—and so does the demand for great translators, reviewers, and localization professionals. So, as part of Google’s mission to build products for everyone and make the web globally accessible, no matter where people are, we’re launching a massive open online course (MOOC) called <i><a href="https://goo.gl/J14Yzf">Localization Essentials</a></i>.</p><p>Localization Essentials was developed in collaboration with Udacity, and is free to access. It covers all localization basics needed to develop global products, from the types of software that we use to the jobs available in this industry. By sharing our knowledge, we hope that more culturally relevant products will become available to people everywhere, and provide opportunities to them that they didn’t have before.</p></div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~4/8rIPrFtEBJo" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Mon, 22 May 2017 17:00:00 +0000Mon, 22 May 2017 17:00:00 +0000The Official Google BlogIntroducing Searching for Syria, a project made in partnership with UNHCRhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~3/bvjYw39-no8/<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>It was six years ago in March that the Syrian civil war began, and since then more than five million people have been forced to leave their homes, their possessions, their families, and their education to seek shelter throughout the Middle East, Europe, and around the world.

<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>Today we are launching a site called “<a href="https://searchingforsyria.org">Searching for Syria</a>,” a new way for people to learn about Syria and the Syrian refugee crisis by exploring five of the most common search queries that people around the world are asking. Each question allows you to explore some of the detail behind the answer, combining UNHCR data with Google Maps, satellite imagery, videos, photography, and stories from refugees.<br/></p><p>Each June the <a href="http://www.unhcr.org/uk/about-us.html">United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees</a> (UNHCR) releases a <a href="http://www.unhcr.org/news/latest/2016/6/5763b65a4/global-forced-displacement-hits-record-high.html">Global Trends report</a> which contains the latest facts and figures on refugees, asylum-seekers, migrants and other people under the agency’s mandate. Late last year, Google and the UNHCR teamed up to combine this report with Search trends, drawing connections between the questions that people are searching for with the UNHCR’s detailed data sets. Our goal was to paint a new kind of picture of the Syrian refugee crisis, accessible to greater numbers of people—and in doing so, remind people not only of the scale of the crisis, but also of the human side of it.<br/></p><p>We see through Google Search trends that people are certainly trying to understand the scale of the crisis. Among the top trending searches in Germany, France, and the UK last year was “What is happening in Syria?” and simply, “What is a refugee?” People in every corner of the world are turning to Google Search to find out what’s going on and how they might help. In 2016 alone people searched for information about Syria and the Syrian people over tens of millions of times.<br/></p></div></div>

<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>Over the last six years we have seen Search trends from around the world shift from immediate questions like, “Where are Syrian refugees going?” to the more contemplative, “What was Syria like before the war?” Throughout Searching for Syria, refugee families tell you about their homes six years ago and today—and what they’ve experienced in traveling to their new, temporary lives.<br/></p><p>People search for many reasons—to learn and to research, or sometimes to connect, share, and overcome. Sharing these trends, based on UNHCR’s verified data, will ensure that people searching to better understand one of the most terrible events of the last six years will be able to do just that.<br/></p></div></div>

And finally, many were curious to know what all this means for Trump’s presidency, even asking “If Trump is impeached, who will become President?”</p><h3>Fashionistos</h3><p>We live in a time of innovation, of creativity, of discovery, of … male rompers. Got questions? So do many people who have been searching “What is a male romper?” and “Why are people talking about rompers?” A romper is a one-piece combination of a shirt and shorts, traditionally worn by women. Now, the rompHIM is taking men’s fashion by storm—search interest in romper surpassed that of dress, pants, shorts AND shirt. Now the only question left is “Where can I buy a male romper?”</p></div></div>

<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><h3>The Flying Dutchman</h3><p>KLM Royal Dutch Airlines gets new meaning this week, as Dutch King Willem-Alexander revealed that he’s been moonlighting as a commercial pilot for over two decades. His Royal Highness is flying high in search as a result. Even Americans are curious, looking for information about the King’s family and net worth as well as his side gig. Interest in the plane type he flew—Fokker 70—surpassed that of the well-known Boeing 747 by over 300 percent.</p><h3>(Almost) summertime and the studying is hard</h3><p>Summer is around the corner, and search interest for “final grade calculator” spiked (as it does every December at middle of May during final exam seasons). Summer is no fun if you don’t make the grade, so in the final stretch, students are searching “how to find out what your final grade will be” and “What grade do I need on the final?”</p><h3>It’s a Beautiful Day for U2 fans</h3>In a Race Against Time, U2 refuses to become an oldies act. Fans are getting what they Desire—the band is back on national tour performing songs from their landmark album Joshua Tree, going from Where the Streets Have No Name to a Red Hill Mining Town (and many cities in between). Many shows are already sold out, so if you Still Haven’t Found What you’re Looking For, it might be time to Walk On. But concert-goers in Santa Clara, CA, were treated to the Sweetest Thing when the band played for a full hour past curfew, With or Without permission from the city and leading to searches like “What time is the U2 concert over?” If you’re thinking All I Want is You to play “One,” you’re not alone—it’s the band’s top searched hit of all time.</div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~4/Amh81R0tOVs" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Fri, 19 May 2017 21:00:00 +0000Fri, 19 May 2017 21:00:00 +0000The Official Google BlogAll 101 announcements from Google I/O ‘17http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~3/96G24MeglRA/<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>It’s been a busy three days here in Mountain View, as more than 7,000 developers joined us at Shoreline Amphitheatre for this year’s Google I/O.

You can now <a href="https://blog.google/products/assistant/your-assistant-getting-better-on-google-home-and-your-phone/">type to your Google Assistant</a> on eligible Android phones and iPhones.<br/>6. Bonjour. Later this year people in <a href="https://blog.google/products/assistant/your-assistant-getting-better-on-google-home-and-your-phone/">Australia, Canada, France, Germany and Japan</a> will be able to give the Assistant on Google Home a try.<br/>7. And Hallo. Soon the Assistant will roll out to eligible Android phones in <a href="https://blog.google/products/assistant/your-assistant-getting-better-on-google-home-and-your-phone/">Brazilian Portuguese, French, German and Japanese</a>. By the end of the year the Assistant will support Italian, Korean and Spanish.<br/>8. We’re also adding <a href="https://developers.googleblog.com/2017/05/from-actions-on-google-to-sdk-google.html">transactions and payments</a> to your Assistant on phones—soon you can order and pay for food and more, with your Assistant. <br/>9.

With multi-user support, you can control the type of notifications to fit your daily life.<br/>12. <a href="https://blog.google/products/assistant/your-assistant-getting-better-on-google-home-and-your-phone/">Listen to all your favorite tunes</a>. We’ve added Deezer and Soundcloud as partners, plus Spotify’s free music offering coming soon. <br/>12. <a href="https://blog.google/products/assistant/your-assistant-getting-better-on-google-home-and-your-phone/">Bluetooth support</a> is coming to Google Home, so you can play any audio from your iOS or Android device.<br/>13. Don’t know the name of a song, but remember a few of the lyrics? Now you can just ask the Assistant to “play that song that goes like...” and list some of the lyrics.<br/>14. Use your voice to play your favorite shows and more from <a href="https://blog.google/products/assistant/your-assistant-getting-better-on-google-home-and-your-phone/">20+ new partners</a> (HBO NOW, CBS All Access, and HGTV) straight to your TV.<br/>15.

Also for developers, we’re adding ways for you to get data on your app's usage and performance, with a <a href="https://developers.googleblog.com/2017/05/from-actions-on-google-to-sdk-google.html">new console</a>.<br/>19. We’re rolling out an <a href="https://developers.googleblog.com/2017/05/from-actions-on-google-to-sdk-google.html">app directory</a>, so people can find apps from developers directly in the Google Assistant.<br/>20. People can now also create <a href="https://developers.googleblog.com/2017/05/from-actions-on-google-to-sdk-google.html">shortcuts</a> for apps in the Google Assistant, so instead of saying "Ok Google, ask Forecaster Joe what's the surf report for the Outer Banks," someone can just say their personal shortcut, like "Ok Google, is the surf up?"<br/>21. Last month we previewed the Google Assistant SDK, and now we’re updating it with <a href="https://developers.googleblog.com/2017/05/from-actions-on-google-to-sdk-google.html">hotword support</a>, so developers can build devices that are triggered by a simple "Ok Google."<br/>22. We’re also adding to the SDK the ability to have both <a href="https://developers.googleblog.com/2017/05/from-actions-on-google-to-sdk-google.html">timers and alarms</a>.<br/>23. And finally, we’re launching our first <a href="https://developers.googleblog.com/2017/05/from-actions-on-google-to-sdk-google.html">developer competition</a> for Actions on Google.</p></div></div>

Thousands of developers from around the world gathered to learn about our latest developer products and share best practices, including how to build next-gen business applications using G Suite. In case you need it, here’s a list of the various developer tools you can use to customize app your G Suite experience at your organization.</p><p></p><h3>1. Build and deploy custom apps using App Maker </h3><p>App Maker is a low-code, application development tool in G Suite that helps developers quickly build and deploy custom apps securely. It comes with built-in templates, a drag-and-drop UI and point-and-click data modeling. Plus, you can customize your app to connect with a wide range of APIs using Apps Script.

<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><h3>2. Create seamless integrations with the G Suite APIs</h3><p>Speaking of APIs, G Suite offers a <a href="https://developers.google.com/google-apps/">number of ways</a> for developers to integrate their app with ours and create a seamless experience for users. Here are a few of our favorite G Suite APIs.</p><p></p><ul><li>Try the <a href="https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/">Sheets API</a> which lets your developers read, write and format data in Sheets. Plus, you can automatically generate and update charts, pivot tables and more.<br/></li><li>The <a href="https://developers.google.com/slides/">Slides API</a> helps you access and update presentations programmatically, pulling in data from various sources (including <a href="https://blog.google/products/g-suite/slides-api/">popular third-party apps</a>) and producing polished template-based presentations in a fraction of the time.<br/></li><li>Leverage the <a href="https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/guides/">Gmail API</a> to access and organize your Gmail inbox. You can program your application to read and send messages, create filters to automatically label, forward and archive messages, or even update vacation responders.<br/></li><li>Finally, the <a href="https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/">Drive API </a>allows you to manage Google Drive files and/or folders as well as leverage new Team Drive features programmatically. Developers can also use the Drive SDK to create Drive-enabled apps that handle custom files.</li></ul><p></p><h3>3. Customize your G Suite experience with Add-ons </h3><p>Using <a href="https://developers.google.com/apps-script/">Apps Script, </a>G Suite's native JavaScript-based development platform, developers can easily customize their favorite apps like Sheets, Docs, and Forms by adding menu items, sidebars or editing files programmatically directly within these apps. We also recently <a href="https://gsuite-developers.googleblog.com/2017/03/bring-power-of-your-apps-into-gmail_9.html">introduced Gmail Add-ons</a> in developer preview, so that third-party developers can bring the power of their apps directly into Gmail. Better yet, developers need only write their Gmail Add-on once, and it’ll run natively in Gmail on web, Android and iOS right away.</p></div></div>
