Google Alert - google 吸引企业用户

Google+新增功能吸引企业用户 英国《金融时报》 蒂姆•布拉德肖 旧金山报道 谷歌(Google)正将其社交网站服务拓展到企业世界，以叫板微软的Yammer以及Salesforce.com的Chatter。 这家总部位于加州山景城(Mountain View)的公司去年6月推出了Google+，但最初不允许Gmail或Docs等谷歌Apps产品的企业用户加入该服务。 去年11月，谷歌允许企业账户使用Google+，昨日该公司宣布推出额外功能和安全控制，希望鼓励更多企业使用其Hangouts视频群聊功能，并分享内部信息。 在企业社交网络领域经历一段繁忙的并购之后，谷歌再次发力该领域。尽管Facebook等面向消费者的社交企业估值下滑，但企业社交网络仍是硅谷(Silicon Valley)的热点之一。 今年6月，微软(Microsoft)宣布以12亿美元现金收购一家成立4年的初创企业Yammer，本周一IBM达成一项13亿美元的交易，收购为管理和招聘员工提供云软件的Kenexa。 上述交易之前，Salesforce供企业客户使用的类似Twitter的工具Chatter取得成功，而提供在线协同服务的初创企业Huddle在5月融到2400万美元风险资金。 谷歌Apps产品管理总监克莱·巴沃尔(Clay Bavor)表示，他认为Google比竞争对手拥有优势，因为谷歌向企业提供的服务，与消费者在家使用的服务一样。 Google+现在允许企业客户发布只能被同事看到的内容，并提供行政控制以及在Gmail或谷歌日历(Google Calendar)中立刻进行Hangout视频群聊的能力。 今年6月谷歌表示，使用谷歌Apps的企业已达500万家，总共有数千万个别用户账户。 译者/倪卫国 Google Gives Big Content an Olive Branch in Search Algorithm Change Wired News (blog) Google will begin altering its search algorithm this week to lower search rankings of sites with “high numbers” of copyright-infringement removal notices.
