Address: 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043 | On Wednesday 6th April 2016 the help desk class had the absolutely incredible opportunity to go to the Google campus at mountain view and get a class tour around the place and learned a little more about the company known world wide called Google. During our time at the Google campus we did some team work activities as a kind of ice breaking exercise, in this activity we were put into groups of 3-4 and were set the challenge of designing and presenting what the groups thought schools would look like in around 50 years time Google has definitely got a different work environment for their employees and the campus feels a lot like a college instead of the normal sort of office buildings that you would find if you visited other company's. I think it is safe to say that Google definitely take pride in keeping their employees calm and happy because that helps employees creativity and work capacity. When the class had the tour around we came across a lot of things that you would never find in another work place, like; Swimming pools, hammocks, ponds, bicycles for transport and so much more. |

Name of app: VideoScribe Price: 7 day trial, then $12/month VideoScribe: Here What is VideoScribe?

Take a look at the pricing: here Features: When you buy the full version of the program you get some amazing features that make your experience and presentations look much more professional than it would have been in the free trial. Here are a few features to look over and see how this program just keeps giving:
Overall would I recommend this program? The cost may be a bit overpriced for what you get, however it all depends on your purpose of buying VideoScribe. If you are in a workplace or job role that uses a lot of presentation work and you want a more interesting and fun way of presenting, then yes. Buy it. If you are a student or in a job where you don't need to use a fancy presentation creating tool, I suggest that you use Microsoft Power Point instead because they are around the same price and Power Point is a lot more user friendly and easier to use. So no, you probably don't need to pay the insane amount of money for it. The price of the basic VideoScribe program is $144. The professional version costs $665. Like I said, it all depends on the use and the frequency of use. Give it a go and download the free 7 day trial and see what you think for yourself Overall rating: ✭✭✭ Good
Feed wind looks pretty cool, it allows you to get the URL of a widget and change it into a code that puts a widget of the weather, tracffic.etc onto your website.
Amazing right? Now your visitors can check the weather on your webpage! Shazam is a very useful, intriguing and easy app to use.
It listens to any song that is playing around you through the microphone on your phone/device and gives you then name of the song, where to buy it and the prices. Even large companies are using, Shazam to put there product accross to the consumers. This really is a clever app! |
