Goodies or Marketing Ploy

It doesn't take a genius to know that the Free Google pack wasn't just a few freebies for your own benefit. Sure you can install everything Google wants you to, so that they can track your every movement. Be sure to take advantage of all of their other free goodies along with all of those ads they managed to throw in there for your benefit too. I'm no marketing genius but I do know what they are trying to do. It's a marketing ploy and the majority of Google fanatics bought into it already. I'm just glad their good fortune only works on a PC. They figure those Mac users are a bit too smart for their own good I guess.

But if you decide to get yourself the Google Pack, make sure you pay attention to the marketing ploys being thrown in front of your face. Google isnt a multi-million dollar company for no reason at all. They've learned how to turn million dollar ideas into marketing genius.

Blogosphere Techies Hit Geneva By Storm

As a sold out crowd hit the LIFT convention which took place in Geneva, there were a few people who were hit by storm wishing they could get in for a peak at the new technology conference with Blogging. I'm not sure why Switzerland always is pick for some of the best conferences in the world, but it just so happens the blogging world had a treat too.

Some attendees of the Lift 06 conference include Stephanie Booth (a fellow blogger from Switzerland who started blogging way back in 2001 or so), Robert Scoble (a Microsoft WA techie), Anina ( a super model turned tech blogger), and Ben, (a comp sci techie in Switzerland).

I guess one hit was the women's panel which was composed of some not so techie "stereotypes". If your interested in meme's and spimes, along with being able to travel with your laptop, then maybe the LIFT conference is something to check out.
