Great possibilities of online services

It was really a great opportunity to know more about Google and the Digital World. I was impressed that several services like Google Maps can be used in case of calamities. The innovation and growth of technology is really rapidly in this era and I am quite surprised that a lot of processes and programs can be carried out by those computers.

Especially, the talk of Filipino woman, well known because of “My Korean Boyfriend” was very interesting for me. I actually started writing a blog after because I was inspired by what she discussed. The other speaker presented that 60% of companies that use blog have a relatively better performance in the market.  And this Korean funny woman started her career because of her blog. She has been able to maximize the internet resources to advertise her business. For example, she makes a creative and unique video which attracts a lot of people on the internet.

It seems it is easy to advertise a business on the internet since it doesn’t require a big amount of investment to use online sources and services. After the event, I accessed her blog and realized that she is investing money and time for writing a blog. As she said, she likes writing in the first place, that is why she writes a blog. Her blog is very interesting and attracts readers. It is impossible to make such an interesting article if you just write a blog for an advertisement.

            Today, the way of people accessing information is changing very suddenly. In fact, newspaper subscribers decrease rapidly because a lot of people read news online. Regardless of age and gender, a lot of people access to Social Network Services such as Facebook, hence, the location and method of advertisement also should adjust to the changes of people’s lifestyle.

            I have an online tutoring business, which introduces Filipino English teachers to Japanese students. Maximizing the internet sources for the business is very important especially for a person, whose advertising activity is limited by a geographical gap. The event about Google and the Digital World taught me that there are a lot of useful and advanced services on the internet but most of people are not being able to use that advanced technology. It was really nice to find out about the great possibilities and opportunities that internet services provide.
