Take note folks, this is how you engage your audience and build trust for your brand. The always awesome Google has come up with another fun project/contest for their new slew of amazing search features – Instant Search, Search by Voice, Results as you Type, Ultimate Image Search, Real Time Search, to name a few.
Google Demo Slam is asking people to create their own 1 minutes long demo video of one of the features – showing how they use Google Search to enhance their lives. The Slam portion refers to the competition element, which will pit submissions against each other – and put it to a vote.

I got my invite to Google App Inventor BETA today, and I have to say this looks like a lot of fun. Everything is drag and drop – it’s feels kind of like Dreamweaver for App Dev Dummies. I’m going to play around with it and see what comes to fruition! More excellent open-source transparent internet goodness from the Googles!

The Google News Blog, was kind enough to bless us all with a series of tips to optimizing your online videos. Being that, Google-owned, YouTube is currently the second largest search engine on the web… so these are well worth the notice.
1. Timely uploads
Videos should be uploaded as quickly as possible — this will help them reach the news homepage faster and be grouped with the most recent articles.2. One story per video
Instead of having one video that contains multiple segments covering several different stories of the day, it’s a better user experience (and easier for us to index), when there is one story per video, and the video title is specific (not something generic like “Breaking News”). At the very least, the description of the video should match the first story in the video.3. Categorization
If you are providing general news coverage, select YouTube category “News & Politics” (which is youtube_category_id 25) when uploading your video. If you have multiple channels, clearly identify each category (politics, business, entertainment, sports, etc.).4. More detailed descriptions
Similar to the first paragraph of a news article, descriptions of the news video should convey the who, what, when, where, and why of the story in a few sentences — the more detail you can supply, the better.5. Rich tags
Another way to convey the content of the video is using the keyword tags. Providing keywords that might not be in the description gives us more knowledge of what the video is about. Especially helpful are proper nouns: the names of the people, places, companies, etc. mentioned in the video.6. Make it Embeddable
Be sure your video is embeddable on other sites since this is currently a technical requirement for being displayed in Google News. Additionally, if your videos are geo-blocked in certain regions, they will not appear in Google News.If your news organization isn’t already making its video content available on YouTube and Google News, we encourage you to get started. More information on how to submit your news videos to Google News can also be found in the News Publishers Help Center, and you can watch this video for additional tips on news search engine optimization.
