Web Marketing Digest - September 17

This week's post has an infographic on Google, a video from TED on marketing an phsyics from a Google Marketing Director and a presentation on how to avoid boring PowerPoint presentations.

This infographic, on Google, shows the search engine giant's taste for acquisition and it's pretty shocking (we read about it on Mashable although it was originally found on Scores.org). Take a look, it might surprise you how many (and what types) of acquisitions that Google has made over the last decade. The infographic tracks the timeline of Google's acquisitions in 3 different areas, Building Revenue Streams, Cutting Competition and "A Little of Both."

A few weeks ago we posted a quick video from TED on one of our Web Marketing Digest posts and it went over really well, so today we have another one for you. This video is of Dan Cobley, a marketing director for Google, discussing, "what physics taught [him] about marketing."

How many of you have experience a slow, "death by PowerPoint?" We're sure that you all have, and this presentation aptly entitled, "Steal This Presentation!" from Jesse Desjardins, is a great place to get some inspiration for your next PowerPoint (and avoid inadvertently killing your audience).
