Google has announced the launch of its +1 tool, which allows users to recommend search results to friends and contacts.
Resembling Facebook's Like button, Google's new feature works by providing a +1 button next to individual search entries which users can click to recommend a specific result to contacts.
To use +1, searchers must create a Google profile or upgrade an existing one. Users will then need to log into their Google account to see +1s from people they are connected to through Google Chat and Google Contacts. This is a innovative new feature that will make Google an even stronger presence.

This past week I was a little disappointed in one of my team members for not bringing our PowerPoint presentation to class as this reflects on all of us. Our presentation will be Tuesday the 5th and our profile is on Google. The other teams in our class gave some interesting facts about John Deere and GE, and what we add with our Google presentation should be fun.
Our verge team has now started on product designs for our label verge and I have seen a few of the examples. They are looking good and we should be able to get to the next step pretty quick.

This past week I joined the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals(CSCMP), one of the premier organizations in our field. We are able to post our resume on their site and get exposure Globally and search for jobs all over the world. This networking will bring many opportunities as this CSCMP is 8500 members strong with all different levels of supply chain expertise. Using these two new sources will make me more creative and innovative within my field.

We have a career fair at school this week with over 90 employers being represented and just in time, as we get our resumes' updated and refined so we can look as professional as possible. I hope I get some good job leads and will let you know next week how it went. Have a great week and wish for warmer weather.
