Microsoft have pulled out their claws and are swiping like crazy at Google! Hopefully there will more of the following to come because its mildly amusing!

Info-graphic : Who Exactly Is Using Google+
December 14, 2011 By Leave a Comment
As brands and marketers continue to prod Google+ with a stick the obvious question to ask is “So who exactly, if anyone is using Google+?”. A completely fair question and one that is still no easier to answer thanks to Googles unwillingness to share numbers.
However the team at Flowtown have managed to piece together the jigsaw puzzle of disperate G+ stats and pull them together in this handy info-graphic. It’s by no means exhaustive but it does give a sense of where growth is coming from, recent traffic levels, the impact of brand pages and of-course the gender split. If anyone has any further stats then please share them in the comments section. [Read more...]
Romanian Chocolate Bar Tries To Change Google’s Auto-Complete Search Feature
November 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Pretty much everyone knows of, or has experienced Google’s auto-complete function when searching. Sometimes its helpful and other times it can be quite revealing. For example the top auto-completed search begining with the phrase ‘Why do’ is ‘Why do dogs eat grass’. Weird! Well unfortunately for Romanians the first few auto-completed search terms for ‘Romanians are’ include stupid, ugly and rude. That’s why ROM (a Romanian chocolate bar) has launched a campaign to change peoples perceptions of the country using Google’s auto-complete feature. Between now and December 1st (Romania day) ROM is encouraging anyone and everyone to uses positive phrases such as ‘Romanians are smart’ or ‘Romanians are beautiful’ to change the top auto-completed terms and spread joy and happiness around the world. Slightly strange campaign but great leverage of a well known digital behaviour, check out the website here.
