All that google-ling, good for creative souls

I dont know about anyone else, but Google rocks. They have enabled so many Jamaicans to realise their worth, unleashing their skills on an international platform. I explore Google products, and then encourage lots of Jamaicans to try them. Especially Jamaicans who love to write. Jamaicans by nature hardly read, but since the advent of the internet a great deal of Jamaicans have really been caught in the Net. Even more exciting is the newest fad - tablets and smart phones. Hardly any Jamaican goes without one. Since they have gotten hooked on facebook, twitter and other social media word based sites, they have by extension been drawn to crawl around the 'Net.
HUGE ADVANTAGE
This is just a huge advantage for Jamaica as a country.
Reading is one gateway to success and with everything made available online, its no wonder that Jamaicans have gotten collectively conscious about their education. Thank God for the internet and by far thank God for Google. Google search is the biggest invention since the internet. Well so far!
Bing, Yahoo are great search engines, but Google search rocks. Its what really gets things found. Then you have google play which allows the mind to be challenged through games and connects persons across the globe. Amazing.
ADSENSE
One of my favourite google products is Google ADsense, and then there is a spot to blog if you will. You dont earn much, but instead of my having to spend quality time running around to solicit ads, Google does it for me through their platform. My only peeve is that Google could very well opt their percentage share.. but businesswise I know with all the anticipated commitments and expenses worldwide, its their best offer. So, I take the challenge of providing content that ups traffic because traffic translates to appreciation and appreciation sometimes bear financial fruits. Despite the wrong use of the internet, Google is safe and family friendly. So there you have it, the internet and Google by far is simply a brilliant response to a silent call by Jamaicans.
