I think this AutoDraw tool from Google could be helpful in some business
contexts. For example it could be useful in helping solve the dilemma many of us experience as to how to get images for various purposes, such as blog posts, without having to pay for every image.
I've tried the tool out and enjoyed it - see how my scrawl became a dog, a horse (and there were lots of other optons.. Note that it is not magic - there is a learning curve (or at least I found it
so).
Google’s latest AI toy may be its most clever: an automated drawing bot that analyzes what you’re doodling in real time to suggest a more polished piece of clip art to replace it. Called AutoDraw, the software is another of Google’s ongoing creative machine learning demonstrations that it releases as part of its AI Experiments
series.

But what makes a great video? And what keeps viewers engaged? Is it a good story? Or maybe
it’s all about reaching the right audience at the right time.
...
Here are 7 secrets to creating successful video content. We hope these tips will help you as you plan and create your own video content.

For some in
business the competition between Instagram and Snapchat will not touch the surface, but for those wanting to build online networks of influence, and use one or other (or both) of these platforms for that, the contest is by no means irrelevant. I don't like the idea of a Facebook imperium, but I can't see Snapchat winning this one.
It's not a secret that Instagram has been slowly adding more and more Snapchat-like features to its platform. The addition of Instagram stories in August was the most obvious indicator of this, but the additions are still coming like the recent geosticker update. (By the way, since Instagram stories launched, Snapchat story views are down nearly 20
percent) ____________________________________________________ Looking for a business-focused, networked group, spam-free, engaged, sharing ideas to make business more ethical, profitable, and an integrated part of a balanced life?
