We went to a social media marketing talk last night by Francois Muscat from WSI on how we should be using social media to market our businesses. admittedly, a fair amount of information shared we already knew, purely cause we're in the web application development business but certainly a load more information on how to actually use it to your advantage, VERY interesting.

SI Works is partnered with WSI who takes care of all our search Engine Marketing needs and we've had fantastic results.

Some interesting facts that came about last night.

How's this for some figures on making some cash, this is UK specific ONLY, excluding all other countries and the US, which is where google's the largest

How Big Is Google? Here's Another Measure

Rory Cellan-Jones, a blogger for the BBC, calculates an interesting statistic from Google's earnings release yesterday.

Google earned USD 803 million, about GBP 407 million, in the United Kingdom in the first quarter. If you assume that rate won't grow, that makes GBP 1.6 billion for the year. And since Google's British earnings are up 40 percent from a year ago, it is a safe bet it will grow.

That means Google will overtake the ITV television network as the biggest seller of advertising in Britain this year, Mr. Cellan-Jones figures. ITV sold about GBP 1.5 billion of advertising last year.

Britain's biggest commercial television business - the original "license to print money" - is about to be overtaken by an American upstart which only arrived in the UK in 2001.

That's a fair amount of money, stjoe

Seems like google has been busy with some experiments, pretty neat stuff yeh.

Seems they've come up with a few nice little bits, a good example is this timeline of the civil rights movement, impressive stuff, by the looks of things.

Then we've got google keyboard shortcuts, pretty neat actually, lets just hope they can add some more functionality to this, that would be superb!!

There are some others over there, but if you don't know all of google's products / services go on through and take a look at them all :)
