Google Science Fair 2013 Hangout On Air 3 Apr 2013 7:39 AM (12 years ago)

The Problem Of Self-Control

Do you do things against your best interests at times? Then you should not miss this hangout.

#CoolHangouts  

Reshared post from +Google Science Fair

Why Don't We Always Do What We Think We'll Do?

One of the challenges of human life is that what we think is good for us right now is often not what is good for us in the long term. Eating healthy and exercising, for example, are not so much fun now, but are good for us in the future.

When we face such tradeoffs, we often focus on the short term rather than our long term goals - and in the process, get ourselves into trouble.  But wait! There is hope. By understanding where we often fall short, we can learn how to overcome our natural (and less than desirable) inclinations.

Come watch Professor Dan Ariely from Duke University, author of "Predictably Irrational," as he helps us understand how we can deal with "The Problem of Self-Control."

Drive Audience to Your Webinar in Two Quick Steps 12 Feb 2013 4:08 AM (12 years ago)

You’re a recognized professional in your field. You’ve created a presentation on cutting-edge content, designed your slides and rehearsed your lines. All that’s missing is the most important part: engaged viewers.

There are several ways to bring audience to an online presentation, but they’re far from equal. Your time is at a premium, so you want to invest it where it can bring the greatest return, without wasting a half hour on a perfectly-crafted Facebook post on which only your dogsitter clicks “Like.” Here are the two most important things you can do to draw people in.

1) Email your professional contacts

The single most effective way to recruit viewers for your webinar is to send an email to someone who is interested in the content and with whom you have a relationship.  This is something that you’ll want to do once per week for two weeks leading up to the event.

That said, you don’t want to send an email that starts “Dear Friend”; it should be personalized and sincere. At the same time, you don’t want to spend ten minutes per email, which can add up if you’re sending 200 of them – you do the math.

The solution? Mail merge, which allows you to insert personalization details even into Gmail.

2) Reach out over LinkedIn

The next best way is to leverage LinkedIn, a social network that is designed expressly for professional interactions.  This is something that you’ll want to do once or twice a week for two weeks leading up to your webinar.

First, post an update from your personal profile and privately ask a couple of close friends to “Like” it. Since LinkedIn feeds aren’t as clogged as those on Facebook, this can go a long way to giving them a high profile on contacts’ homepages.

Next, post in any related professional groups you’ve joined.  Similarly, privately ask friends (the same ones) to “Like” these updates to boost their profile.

Finally, if you’re the manager or owner of any group, send a “Group Announcement” with a link to your event. Remember that you can only do this once per week!

You’ll also want to remind them the day before before the webinar and 30 to 60 minutes before you go live. As with all events, some people don’t show up; make sure to email them with a link to the recorded version as soon as the event has concluded.

Happy presenting!

Bandwidth Slider For Hangouts 7 Feb 2013 9:27 AM (12 years ago)

After starting a hangout if you feel your connectivity is not good enough, you can slide and choose a lower bandwidth connection. Great feature to keep the hangouts going and avoid the irritation of getting disconnected.

#CoolHangouts  

Reshared post from +Tim Blasi

More Hangouts love for different bandwidth environments

Today we're excited to launch two new features that improve the Hangouts experience in areas with low and/or unreliable connectivity:

1) Bandwidth slider. At the top right of every hangout is a new slider that lets you adjust your bandwidth preferences in real-time. This makes it easier to keep hangouts going, even in areas with poor connectivity.

2) Audio-only mode. Choose this mode to send and receive audio only, and thus, significantly reduce your bandwidth requirements. Other participants will only see your profile picture, but they'll hear you loud and clear.

Both of these features are coming your way today but they're rolling out separately so you may see one before you see the other. Very soon both features will be available to everyone, so give 'em a try and let us know what you think! Thanks for your patience.
