Google Things to do

By Charles-Henry Ruyant

Google has launched a new website section on what we can do on/with Google. They are actually doing a PPC campaign about this new advice page.

This new section is called “Google things to do.” It is a list of clickable sentences like “Share your YouTube favourites on the bus” , “Keep your family videos in the family”, “Flight arrival and departure times in real time”. Every time that you click on one of these sentences, a little box opens with the explanation. Sometimes it is a video or goes directly to the application.

Google Things to do

This new “Google things to do” is a great idea because it is pretty hard for a user to keep up with all the new Google applications and functions.

The way they have organised this page is not clear though, we have too many diverse functions/applications on the same page (e.g.: Google map, image, Google Doc, YouTube, the search engine…). They probably should have created a page by categories.

More positively, this page shows the impressive number of innovations that Google has developed. Clever Google.
