hey guys whats up this is nate with android authority we just want to kind of give a quick recap i went through a session earlier this is my first i/o which in turn this was my first session today it was a google+ fireside chat and what that was was there was a lot of people working on google+ in various areas of interest with google+ and they were just they just had a panel up on stage there was really opening it up to the audience for questions what i learned as a user was that google+ is really meant to keep you socially engaged to be a little bit personal as an editor with android authority sometimes we wonder why we can't just write on android authority and it populates directly to google plus the reason for that is they don't want sites not particularly us but any kind of site to spam your stream so you don't get inundated with information you may or may not want obviously you know that in your circles you can adjust how much information gets through but another stopgap to that is they don't want certain sites just spamming your stream with everything we get some questions where people say ask us why did I find it on the site but I didn't see it on your Google+ stream and part of that is because we don't want to spam you and with Google+ not making their API public to where sites can't automatically post to their stream that's just another stopgap that's what I learned is a user another thing is they want to learn as much about you as possible that's why when you look at things like the maps where it'll suggest things that your friends are interested in like restaurants they get that information from google plus it's about knowing as much about you as humanly possible or as googly possible i guess we could say that's just meant to enhance your experience another thing I took away from this conference is google i/o is very developer centric as such there's a lot of very technical questions that were going on in there I don't necessarily know a lot about the developer side effect I know a little bit enough to where it makes sense to me but in terms of getting very deeply involved that's just not me and it's probably not you so that is something to keep in mind if you're ever interested in going to I up this is a developer conference as such the developers are the ones that need to learn and take away and they're the ones that are going to be discussing a lot of what's going on here so things things like coding and things like that don't make sense to you you're really not going to learn a lot here and it's josh of a garden manager 30 what's going on everybody I to attended a session here at Google i/o as Nate was saying it's it's really not that kind of conference for a lot of users consumers who are looking for products or the new announcements for particular devices though that will happen at i/o from time to time the vast majority of the conference that you're here for is for developing sessions a lot of them are about creating software the best practices different tips that you would have for it in my case I went to a session that was a little bit offbeat which was nice it was about leveraging YouTube for business I figured I'd see what they had to say for that for the most part I will say as a critique it was pretty much a lot of it was stuff that we kind of already know but there were some nice tips in there like for example make sure you making sure to follow certain trends they were telling people not to be afraid to follow particular trends that might be happening now on YouTube and just kind of use that to your advantage to gain more for example using a Harlem shake like everyone did a couple months ago but that was uh that was one of the tips I was something that you kind of already know but it is nice to be reminded that you can you can go that route if you want to have some fun with it but for the most part like Nate said this this really is not a conference for particularly everybody it already costs a lot to come here if you're not pressed or anything like that if you want to just attend as a patron it costs two thousand dollars which actually for the most part was redeemed when they did give out all of those chrome pixels chromebook pixels to everybody but it may not happen quite the same way for other iOS they do take care of you though there's a lot here too to to partake in like junk food on every single floor free soda free water free food all this stuff if they do Google really does take care of you but as just as a ploy to everybody that might be watching this just letting you know Google i/o is a lot of fun but if you're coming here only for the fun stuff it may not be particularly worth it considering there are more people who come here because they're learning and because they're contributing to the Google space to enter Android spaces a google plus space to the YouTube space even it may not be quite for you but you know we're here to let you know what's going on here at Google i/o and we're having a lot of fun bringing all this content to you so thank you for watching and stay tuned because we got even more for you tomorrow at the last day of Google i/o 2013 so guys that's a quick rundown of what a session at Google i/o is all about it's really about developers so Josh and I are going to continue to roam around and find some more cool stuff to look at so stay tuned to our YouTube channel and you'll see some really cool videos
