eBiz Intelligence, Small but nonetheless
Big corps have to know what’s up with their competition, how’s doing the reseller channel, how markets perform on different continents and what not. They having populous departments doing nothing else.
But how about you? A small business owner wearing at least couple of hats. You can’t afford vast business intelligence departments on your payroll. Yet don’t tell me you never dreamed of digging some way for public available info on your competition. That used to be hectic, incidental or just plain gossip. Up until last week, more or less.
Google can play your virtual James Bond, making you feel like a “Queen” or “King” — whatever. Read on and stay tuned for Google Notebook, about to emerge on your display these days:
- Google Co-op is a way for users to help us improve search. It lets people and organizations label web pages and create specialized links related to their unique expertise. Whether it’s information about a hobby, a profession, or an unusual interest, everyone can contribute to making Google search more relevant and useful for the entire community.
- Google Desktop 4 gives you another way to improve search, by personalizing your desktop. New “Google Gadgets” deliver an array of information–ranging from games and media players to weather updates and news–straight to your desktop.
- Google Notebook (which we’ll be launching next week) is a personal browser tool that lets you clip text, images, and links from the pages you’re searching, save clippings to an online notebook, and then share notebooks with others.
- Google Trends builds on the idea behind the Google Zeitgeist, allowing you to sort through several years of Google search queries from around the world to get a general idea of everything from user preferences on ice-cream flavors to the relative popularity of politicians in their respective cities or countries.
