While the use of search tools such as Google is simple, people are generally using less than 20% of its features and basically search the ocean of information based mostly upon their intuition and not systematically.
Knowledge workers spend up to to 30 percent of their work days looking for information and at least 50 percent of online searches are not successful.
There are more than 1 Billion Internet users and the daily volume of email has reached more than 100 Billion messages with about 70% of this being SPAM.
Organizations generate a large volume of valuable information that is increasingly hard to locate and use meaningfully. Information sources are growing constantly in volume and in complexity, which results in people storing more data in more places.
Web 2.0 has become a buzzword and it may not be clear how these technologies can fit in the business, save time and money, while increasing profits.
Successfully Working and collaborating in such an environment is a real challenge.
This 90 minute presentation will provide the following:
- A systematic approach for finding information efficiently:
- from “Google smart”: Google provides a large range of applications and features way beyond the usual search
- to the “Deep Web”: most Search Engines can not access the deep web that is 500 times larger than the Web
- via “Social Search Engines”: this new generation of search engine is taking into account the power of the community when searching
- Ways to manage information internally, to collaborate and manage knowledge
- Effective use of Web 2.0 tools such as RSS, blogs, bookmark sharing, wikis and more
- and lots of tips
