Drift dreamily down the Danube with Google Street View
Tuesday, March 31, 2015
Cross-posted from the
Google Latlong blog
Since growing up near Ulm, Germany, close to where the Danube begins its epic journey from The Black Forest southeast to the Black Sea, I’ve been captivated by the majesty of the river we knew as Donau. The Danube has woven countries and cultures together for thousands of years; it has been a catalyst for economic development, a pathway for migration, and an inspiration for works of art and
classical music
.
Starting today, you can
cruise this international waterway with Street View
in Google Maps, sailing through six countries, three capitals, and enjoying many arresting landscapes along the way. To capture the imagery, the Trekker was mounted on the riverboat
ms Treasures
, operated by
Tauck
, and Scylla, its maritime partner, for cruises along the Danube and other European rivers.
Your virtual boat ride begins in Bratislava, Slovakia, where at the top of the hill, you can see
Bratislava Castle
. Originally settled during the Bronze Age (around 3500 BC), the castle remains a dominant sight in the area, fixed at a crucial trade point on the Danube.

Steering the ship through Hungary, the shoreline is crowded with sights of downtown Budapest. Whether you’re gazing at the famous
Chain Bridge
by night or the
Hungarian parliamen
t by day, the views from the boat dock will not disappoint.
Hungarian Parliament, Budapest, Hungary
On the riverbank of Croatia sits
Vukovar
, an old baroque city with breathtaking architecture. The Franciscan Monastery and the Church of St. Philip and Jacob overlook the city, peering down at the waters of the Danube.
The natural landscapes along the Danube and the views of the river itself may be the real highlight of the journey—try drifting through the
Cazanele Mari area
in Romania, where more than a third of the Danube’s waterways weave, or the
Krcedinska Ada area
in Serbia, where the water seems to come alive with reflections from the sky above and the terrain on either side of the riverway.
Cazanele Mari area in Romania
Then onwards to Bulgaria, where the Danube acts as a bordering line with neighboring Romania. The
bridges that connect Bulgaria and Romania
are believed to be among the shortest ways to reach Western Europe from the East.
Bridge between Bulgaria and Romania
Growing up close to the drainage basin of this great river, whenever I visit a city along the Danube it’s easy to feel connected not just to my hometown but also to everything in between. That’s why I find it even more exciting to connect all the pieces on Street View, follow the river all the way, and see what a grown-up and majestic river “my” little Danube from Ulm becomes when it flows into the Black Sea.
Hopefully you too will enjoy this
journey down the Danube on Street View
in Google Maps.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Campus London!
Thursday, March 26, 2015
When we opened
Campus London
in 2012, right in the heart of
Tech City
, we wanted to offer founders and startups a support network, education, mentoring and more. And most of all, we wanted to provide a physical space so that the startup community could gather, work together and grow.
So we’re delighted that in just three short years, 41,000 people have joined our community, from old hands to first timers, investors to founders, designers to developers and doers. As the London startup scene accelerates in pace, so does the community; in 2014 alone, startups within the Campus London network created over 1,200 jobs and raised over £41 million in capital, doubling the growth from 2013 and demonstrating strong ecosystem health.
Campus London’s meeting spaces have had a clear impact too. For example,
Give Me Tap
, a recent Y Combinator graduate, was conceived in the Campus Cafe because founder Edwin was trying to drink enough water to hone his stomach into a rippling six-pack.
Coffee Labs
, a connection platform built around coffee, aims to help others have the same kind of serendipitous encounters that its founders were having inside Campus. And
Code Club
has now outgrown the Campus cafe and become a nationwide network that’s inspiring thousands of kids to create through code.
The Campus Community is increasingly diverse and inclusive - in London it now includes 29% women - that’s a 9% increase in just one year. There’s more to be done but, with Women @ Campus providing networking and inspirational talks, and 110 graduates of baby-friendly startup school
Campus for Mums
, we hope to inspire even more women to become entrepreneurs.
Our
education programmes
, including mentoring from Google staff, are a key part of the Campus offering. In 2014, we provided over 1,100 hours of mentoring; enabling our startups to get one-to-one advice on anything from marketing to software development, and training on Google products like Analytics.
Campus London is part of a growing global network of startup communities.
Campus Tel Aviv
launched in 2012, and in coming months, we’re launching four more, with Campus Seoul opening in a few weeks and Madrid, Sao Paulo and Warsaw coming later this year.
The opportunities for startups in our network are not limited to Campus buildings. As part of our wider
Google for Entrepreneurs
network, founders and entrepreneurs are able to tap into a broad range of programs and networks. Our Campus Exchange program brings together six startups from around the world for an intensive week of mentoring and networking.
As we launch new Campus sites, we want to connect the dots and empower founders in these locations to inspire each other and grow - locally, and globally.
Here’s to year four!

Stunning new Street View imagery gives tourism boost to Greece
Thursday, March 26, 2015
Just in time for spring vacation planning,
Street View imagery of Greece has arrived in Google Maps
. Starting today, travelers can get an immersive look at the Greek landscape, unveiling some of the country’s major cities, tourist destinations, cultural and historic sites, and natural landscapes. Collected with the the
Street View Trekker
, a wearable backpack with a camera system on top, this imagery allows potential tourists to virtually walk through the mountainous and winding pathways of Greece, enticing them to visit in person.
This imagery update is part of Google’s commitment to help the Greek tourism sector grow, bringing more local content online as part of the
Grow Greek Tourism Online initiative
, which provides Greek tourism entrepreneurs free trainings and online tools to grow their business throughout the year.
To get a glimpse of some of the country’s highlights, travelers can begin their Greek journey at
Meteora
, which literally translates to “middle of the sky.” This UNESCO World Heritage site is one of the largest and most important complexes of Greek Orthodox monasteries in Greece, second only to
Mount Athos
.
Visit Meteora, a breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage site
Then tourists can enjoy the
view of Athens from Lycabettus hill
. According to Greek mythology, the
Goddess Athena
dropped this mountain in surprise after hearing bad news from a raven. No matter its origin, the vistas are a beautiful place to enjoy the warm, Greek sun above and the urban landscape below.
Enjoy the unique view of Athens from Lycabettus
Next, travelers can cruise to a lagoon called
Balos
off the coast of Crete. This islet forms part of a cape through the lagoon called Cap Tigani (which means "frying pan" in Greek).
Cruise to Balos, a lagoon in Crete
Continuing their exploration of Crete, tourists can also traverse the
Samaria Gorge
, a National Park and a World's Biosphere Reserve, with a length of 18 km.
Traverse the Samaria Gorge in the southwestern Crete
This is just a sample of all the wonderful views available now in Street View in Google Maps. To explore more of the collection, view this
Greek gallery
.
And businesses can also benefit from Street View technology by embedding Google Maps directly into their website for free, helping to promote these locations -- whether it’s a hotel chain, tourist destinations or a local library, museum or restaurant.

Renewing our pledge to the Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs
Thursday, March 26, 2015
Digital skills are crucial to Europe’s future growth and success. We know that the current skills gap will only grow with up to 900,000 jobs going unfilled in 2020. This matters because it prevents businesses from taking new orders, building new products and offering additional services to their customers. It is a real dampener to growth.
That’s why Google is committed to helping more Europeans acquire these essential digital skills. And it’s why we’re proud to be part of the European Commission’s
Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs
. Today, at the
Net Futures 2015
event, we updated our pledge to the Coalition, and included
our recent commitment
to train up to 1 million Europeans by 2016.
In 2013 when we signed up, we committed to help 20,000 entrepreneurs, train up to 100,000 school children in computer science and build links with universities. We have already outgrown our ambitions. We organized hundreds of events, reaching tens of thousands of entrepreneurs. By the end of 2014, we had reached over a million school children. Finally,
we launched 25+ open online courses in collaboration with universities across Europe, focusing on the themes of maths, computer science, entrepreneurship, digital marketing and law.
And we’re continuing to train Europeans and their businesses. This year for instance, we expect to reach 50,000 entrepreneurs directly in our three Google campuses - in
London
,
Warsaw
and
Madrid
- and through our partnerships with
The Factory
in Berlin and
NUMA
in Paris. Also, we want to grow our partnerships. Last year, our partners
Startup Weekend
and
Startup Grind
held events in 32 and 20 countries in Europe respectively and our Google for Entrepreneurs Week took place in 14 countries. This is a huge testament to the enthusiasm that is out there. We’re excited to see what this year will bring.
As we announced last month, we are also doubling down on our investment in helping small and medium sized businesses through our
Growth Engine
campaigns. Our initiatives already include
Weltweit Wachsen
in Germany, focusing on exports;
Activate
in Spain, where we are helping unemployed people get back to work by training them on web development, digital marketing and e-commerce;
Made in Italy
, where we are supporting Italian craftsmanship by showing them how to trade their wares online;
Google Pour les Pros
in France where we support SMEs via meetings at their shops, train them on digital skills and match them with young graduates
,
and
Digital Garage
, where we will offer face to face training to small businesses in five UK cities.
We believe in young people too. Our computer science education programme will work with seven STEM and computer science education organisations this year, to deliver training to 100,000 young people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and ethnic minorities as well as girls in the UK, France, the Netherlands, Ireland, Spain, Hungary and Romania.
Working together to ensure entrepreneurial minds are equipped with the skills they need, remains central to our commitment to Europe.

TechRaking London: muckrakers tackle climate change
Tuesday, March 24, 2015
A free and robust press is a fundamental pillar of an open and democratic society. Ever since the earliest newspapers, journalists have worked hard to give the public the information they need to bring about better communities. In today’s world, new technologies offer new opportunities for great journalism focused on the public good.
In that spirit, the News Lab at Google is teaming up with
The Center for Investigative Reporting
in 2015 for a series of events that will connect journalists, technologists and designers and develop transformative solutions to some of the challenges faced by communities around the world.
The name of the series is
TechRaking
- a modern twist on an early twentieth century term for investigative journalism, “muckraking” - and our first event will be
in London on March 25th
.
Each TechRaking event will focus on a specific design challenge. The focus of TechRaking London will be climate change. Participants will be asked to design a product or service that engages audiences and inspires them to tackle climate change, while also revealing the scale of the issue in new and insightful ways. Additional TechRaking events, on other themes, will follow in Berlin and Paris, as well as in the US and Canada.
The best ideas from TechRaking, as judged by an independent panel, will come to life as services, products and practices in journalism, thanks to our partnership with
TWG
, who will be providing design and development time to turn top ideas into working prototypes. We hope these collaborations will result in new public tools to help us all ensure journalism, through technology, ensures access to critical information for everyone.

Taking street art from the wall to your screens
Tuesday, March 17, 2015
For hundreds of years, street art has transformed our public spaces into open-air galleries, adding vibrancy to urban landscapes. But using the city as a canvas often means these artworks are here today, gone tomorrow. With the Google Art Project, we’re working to preserve this ephemeral art form and make it available to fans around the world, anywhere and anytime.
Last June, as a first step,
we added
more than 5,000 images of street art and around 100 exhibitions, curated by galleries around the world, to the Google Art Project. Today, we’re
more than doubling
the number of street artworks available in high resolution to over 10.000, working in tandem with 86 art organizations from
34 countries
.
Dulwich Outdoor Gallery
exhibit
New immersive experiences
From
stencil
to
sculpture installations
,
mosaic
and
collage
, a great variety of styles from around the world are now represented on the Google Art Project.
Are you ready for an urban art safari around the world? Hit the streets with Street View and listen to the stories behind the art: travel from
Sweden’s most famous street festival
to
New York city’s rooftops
where you will discover water tanks wrapped with art. Or enjoy
a break in Buenos Aires
, where abandoned walls in the northern neighborhoods of the city became a source of inspiration for street artists from all over the world.
If you want to know more about local street art scenes, places and practitioners, don't worry - we’ve put 260 digital exhibits online [link] for you to explore and a dozen immersive street view tours! For example you can now take a virtual tour of
London’s trendy East End
, home to some the world’s finest artworks, enjoy the
colourful murals of Los Angeles’ Winston Street
(aka Indian Alley), learn more about
the longest open air gallery in the world in Berlin
and see how
street artists get inspired by 17th and 18th century paintings
.
The Water Tank Project
exhibit
When the web and street art meet, the walls can come to life: discover the mesmerizing work of artists like
INSA
or
Checko
who painted, photographed, re-painted and then re-photographed a wall to create animated street art: the so-called GIF-iti.
Bringing street art into our daily lives
We're also excited to offer new ways of experiencing street art in your daily life - at home, at work, on the go - with the introduction of street art to Chrome, Chromecast, Android Wear and to your
mobile devices
.
Turn your TV screen into a vibrant backdrop of street artworks, download new partner apps on your phone or tablet for a tour of
Melbourne's famous laneways
,
an art safari in Portugal
, or a glimpse of the multicoloured murals that are covering
Delhi
,
Lima
and
Honolulu
. Finally, turn your smartwatch into a colourful artwork with our new
Street Art Watch Faces
! And if you want, you can discover a new artwork every time you open a browser tab in Chrome with the new Google Art Project Chrome extension.
So much goes into making a piece of street art. Yet its transient nature puts it at risk of being scrubbed out and lost forever. The Google Art Project allows these works of art to transcend the walls, be transported to your screen and live on. Visit the
Google Cultural Institute
and follow
@googleart
to discover more.

The Digital Garage
Friday, March 13, 2015
How does a company founded in a Silicon Valley get to Leeds Dock? We arrived there this week by understanding that the benefits of the Internet and digital technology are not the privilege of a select few, but are transforming businesses from all parts of the economy and all parts of the country.
Google has long been committed to getting British businesses online. So much so that our programmes, Getting British Business Online and Google Juice Bars have already helped 250,000 UK SMEs become digital businesses. Today we are announcing that we will do even more in the UK by committing to digital skills training for 200,000 small businesses by 2016 through Google’s Digital Garages.
Google’s search engine helps businesses connect with customers, and is an engine of growth for UK businesses. For instance, Roy Powell from
Blinds R Us
started his business in Leeds back in 1986. It supplies and fits made-to-measure blinds. He told us that without Google+ and Google Maps, customers would not know about him and his business. Google has helped Roy grow his customer base well beyond his traditional reach of Leeds.
Blinds R Us is an example of the power of the Internet for small businesses. In his report,
Growing Your Business
, Lord Young reported that small businesses with a strong web presence grow more than twice as quickly as those without. But we know that many businesses have yet to reach the full potential that digital offers and that any need a turbo charge.
To address this, Google is launching The Digital Garage, a multi-million pound programme that will provide digital skills training to 200,000 SMEs both online and in person at pop-up training venues across the UK.
Digital Garages will be based in the heart of local communities, where residents will be able to learn how to use the power of the Internet to reach
beyond their traditional markets and find new customers well beyond their traditional boundaries.
Google cannot deliver a programme of this scale alone. So to reach the widest number of participants, we have been working nationally and locally with organisations including the CBI, FSB, Chamber of Commerce and LEPs. Our first Digital Garage,
The Leeds Garage
will open to the public for six months beginning March 30th offering courses, one-to-one mentoring sessions, Code Clubs and much more.
In addition to skilling the businesses of today, we’re keen to nurture future talent. With funding from Google.org we are investing in computer science training for more than 25,000 Leeds teachers in partnership with Code Club Pro, Computing at Schools (CAS) and Raspberry Pi.
Workshops and events for teachers will be held at Digital Garages and in local schools. Google will likewise offer online training resources and donate Raspberry Pis for use in classrooms.
Our vision is simple: businesses of all sizes stand to benefit from the transformative power of the digital era. It is Google’s responsibility, as both a catalyst and an engine for growth, to help individual businesses prosper, and the UK economy grow.

Protecting people across the web with Google Safe Browsing
Thursday, March 12, 2015
Editor’s note: Online security is
on everybody's minds these days
, so we want to give you updates about various ways Google keeps you safe online. Today, on the web’s birthday, we’re highlighting recent improvements to Safe Browsing, technology that protects more than 1.1 billion people all over the world.
As the web continues to evolve, it’s important that user protections develop in lockstep so that people stay safe online. Our Safe Browsing technology may not be
quite
as old as the web—which celebrates its
26th birthday
today—but ever since Safe Browsing
launched
nearly eight years ago, it’s continually adapted to protect web users, everywhere.
Safe Browsing gives users—both on Google and across on the web—information they need to steer clear of danger. The dangerous sites detected by Safe Browsing generally fall into two categories: sites that attack users
intentionally
with either
malware
,
phishing
, or
unwanted software
that is deceptive or hard to uninstall, or sites that attack users
unintentionally
because they have been compromised, often without the site’s owner realizing this has happened.
Once we detect these sites, Safe Browsing warns people about them in a variety of ways. You’ve probably come across a warning like this in Chrome, Firefox or Safari; it’s powered by Safe Browsing:
Today, Safe Browsing shows people more than 5 million warnings per day for all sorts of malicious sites and unwanted software, and discovers more than 50,000 malware sites and more than 90,000 phishing sites every month. If you’re interested, you can see information about the dangerous sites that are detected by this technology anytime in our
Safe Browsing Transparency Report
.
We also use Safe Browsing technology to warn website owners or operators about issues with their sites so they can quickly fix them. We provide basic site maintenance tips, as well as specific Safe Browsing notifications in Webmaster Tools and Google Analytics. Often site owners don’t realize there are issues with their sites until they get these notifications.
Recent developments
Since its earliest days, Safe Browsing has been widely available, and free—for users, site owners, and other companies—to use and integrate into their own products. In the early days, we focused on detecting dangerous sites and then showing people warnings:
An early Safe Browsing notification, c. 2007. These would appear in the top right corner of people’s web browsers when they visited a site that had been flagged by Safe Browsing as potentially dangerous.
But, just as attacks become more sophisticated, we’ve made sure our own technologies have kept up. Over the years, we’ve built Safe Browsing into other Google products to help protect people in more places:
Safe Browsing API:
We already make Safe Browsing data available for free to developers. This week we’re adding information about sites that host unwanted software, allowing developers to better protect their users as well.
Chrome:
Before people
visit
a site delivering
unwanted software
, or try to
download
some of it, we’ll show them a clear warning.
Google Analytics:
We recently
integrated
Safe Browsing notifications into Google Analytics, so site owners can quickly take action to protect their users if there are issues with their websites. Previously, we’d only provided these warnings via our Webmaster Tools service.
Ads
: We’ve also
recently
begun to identify ads that target people with unwanted software.
As the web grows up, Safe Browsing technology will, too. We’re looking forward to protecting the web, and its users, for many birthdays to come.

Taking ‘Grow Greek Tourism’ to the next level
Tuesday, March 10, 2015
Tourism has always been a sector of major importance for Greece. In 2014, it is estimated to have contributed 17 billion euros to the Greek economy, accounting for more than 20.5% of GDP and 20% of employment. The opportunity for further development thanks to the web is significant as it is estimated that an increase in the online activities of the Greek tourism industry throughout the year could grow Greek GDP by 3% and
create 100,000 new jobs.
Thousands of small and medium sized businesses in Greece
already use the internet to connect with customers from all over the world. For instance, there’s
Aleka’s House
, a stone guest house in Pelion, that now attracts tourists throughout the year with the help of the web: “We have identified the countries where we see most searches for off-season holidays and created online campaigns. By doing this, we managed to attract tourists from abroad and increase bookings”, said Lena, Aleka’s House owner.
To make these opportunities available to a wider number of SMBs
,
we launched a pilot
project in September,
in collaboration with the Minister of Tourism, the National Tourism Board and the Federation of Tourism Enterprises, aimed at teaching digital skills to local businesses active in tourism.
More than 600 companies participated in the first two trainings, but we want to do more and hear more success stories from Greek travel businesses. So we are very excited to announce today that we'll bring Grow Greek Tourism to 5 additional regions in Greece, reaching thousands of SMBs.
Thanks to the trainings we’ll set up, businesses will be empowered to use the internet to bring more tourists to their hotels, restaurants and sites. They will learn how to use search trends to identify new markets for incoming tourists, online marketing techniques to drive interest in their businesses and be inspired by national and international examples. They will also receive support to use key digital tools for increasing their visibility as well as promoting their products.
The owner of Yoga On Crete, a yoga retreat, explains how she used the web to make her dream come true
Events will take place in Kalamata and Mykonos οn March 23rd and 27th and in Corfu, Thessaloniki, Rhodes and Athens on April 16th, 21th, 24th and 29th respectively.
All local businesses - directly or indirectly related to tourism - are invited to
subscribe
to the free events, through the initiative’s website at
g.co/GrowGreekTourism
.

Committing to economic growth in Europe
Thursday, March 5, 2015
"In Sweden, it's important to wear nice socks," Marc Verschueren explained in Brussels last week, "because when you visit someone's house, you take your shoes off." That single cultural insight spawned
a business
that has made colourful socks cool in over 35 countries around the world. Marc shared how their success was made possible because of the Internet and
Google products like AdWords
at an event we hosted to highlight how Google is a growth engine for European businesses.
And there were many other great stories shared that morning. Tricia Cusden travelled over from the UK where her company
Look Fabulous Forever
is based. She explained how she managed to turn makeup for older women into a YouTube hit, reaching close to 600,000 views for her video tutorials. “We created this very successful business in one year and that is enormously exciting,” said Tricia who is now very happy to be a 67 year old grandmother with a fabulous career ahead of her.
Matt Brittin, who heads up Google’s Business and Operations across EMEA, encouraged Europe to embrace technology as an engine for growth. “Today, every business should be a digital business because every customer is a digital customer,” he said. He emphasized the huge growth opportunity for Europe if we can complete the Digital Single Market and unlock the potential of 500 million consumers.
The event marked the launch of something we are all very excited about at Google. We are giving over a thousand successful European businesses a voice so that they can take the lead and inspire entrepreneurs all over Europe to take steps to grow their business online. Check out their stories
here
.
We also announced our commitment to support the growth of the Digital Single Market by helping 1 million Europeans acquire essential digital skills by 2016. To deliver on our promise, we are committing over €25 million to build a Europe-wide training hub and expand existing initiatives like
Activate in Spain
,
Weltweit Wachsen in Germany
and the
Made in Italy
programme.
It is only by plugging the digital skills gap in Europe that we will be able to help millions of citizens become entrepreneurs and millions of small businesses reach their full potential. This is a message that resonated with policy makers during the event as Kristian Hedberg, Deputy Head of Commissioner Bieńkowska’s Cabinet, framed the issues when he said, “What keeps Europe back is fragmentation”. And we couldn't agree more with Eva Paunova, Member of the European Parliament, who rightly said that training young people in these key skills will go a long way in strengthening youth employment.
We are optimistic of the opportunities for growth in Europe and of the vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystems that are supported by the Internet. Our commitment to train 1 million Europeans in digital skills is just one more way we can help support more businesses to use the web. As Matt said at the event, “
it is entrepreneurs and startups that are the key to Europe’s growth.”
