Google Mobile App for iPhone

Starting today, Monday, Nov. 17th, 2008, a new application for the iPhone will be available. The new application Google Mobile is a voice-recognition search app for the iPhone, which Google has been working on for some time. They've launched an instructional video with their own, Mike LeBeau to learn about the cool tricks that come with this application.



The application appears to be great, fun, and easy. Makes me wish I had an iPhone. :)

You are what you google

It had been a while since we were first asked to Google our names and observe the results that were found. I remember sitting in class and typing in my name into Google. I saw my results and found an 18 year with my same name. I didn't think much of it. In fact, I just laughed about it and forgot. Weeks went by before I thought about it again.
However, after today's lecture in class, that changed. Our professor starting explaining that many employers look at personal accounts when hiring new employees. I'm not saying I have misleading information on my personal accounts, but this young lady, who has my same name could perhaps be mistaken for me.
I run the risk of being confused for someone else. Someone else who is completely different. Perhaps I jumping to conclusions. The only thing that distinguishes us from each other is our age, (at least from just looking at the page) employers could easily overlook something like that. Not to mention this young lady is the #1 result. She appears before I do. CRAZY!
So Myspacers, Facebookers, Flicksters, BEWARE! You never know who's watching. Future employers may have already gazed at your account.
So as our guest lecturer, Camella Manges, Director of E-Marketing at St. Edward's University said in class, "Don't have anything that you would not be comfortable having your mother see about you on your page. Be wise about what's on the internet about you."
