About a hundred of people were already sitting and listening intently to the speaker in the podium as I slip quietly and sink into my chair. The event was about Google and the Digital World and I have learned more interesting things about it. The worldwide web as I know it is a place to search for quick facts, to watch for the latest music videos, and to stalk someone. But I yet to find out other feature google or internet as a whole have to offer.

The first talk was about Digital Collaboration/Google Drive by Therence John Resabal.  His talk was interactive and in-depth because of the fact he is studying Bachelor of Science in Information Systems and a Google Student Ambassador. It is a helpful tool in sharing files to others. It is easy to utilize and very efficient way of uploading files and documents and sharing it to others. The second was Growing Your Business with Youtube by Trixie Canivel. There are many advantages of using Youtube to advertise businesses, large and small alike. It is a good way to attract potential customers and keep them engaged. Just a few clicks and you can easily upload a video. Third talk was Podcasting and Blogging by Kring Elenzano. She has been a media practitioner since 2005 and though trained extensively in TV, online and events production. She has two blogs, funnysexy.ph and mykoreanboyfirend.com. These are websites where one can express deeply personal thoughts and at the same time, a site where one could write something about business.

The google event was fun and informative. It opened our eyes to many facets of Google and the Digital World. As described in their official blog aims to connect, inform and inspire business owners, entrepreneurs and business students on the latest business technologies." I would give the organizers and staff of the event a round of applause plus standing ovation for a very successful GdaysX Philippines. Good job, guys!
