Google promoting Google Play Music when connecting to Starbucks free Wifi


Logging into free Wifi at Starbucks? Now you'll be shown a free trial offer for Google Play Music All Access

Starting this week, Starbucks and Google have partnered up to offer customers that connect to its free Wifi promotional deals to check out content from Google Play. For some time now Starbucks has been partnering with different companies -- most recently The Wall Street Journal -- to advertise on their free WIfi login page, offering different deals or showing promotional videos before you were able to log on. At many Starbucks locations customers will now see an advertisement (shown above) for Google Play Music All Access, promoting the features of the service and offering a click-through to a free trial. 

Clicking through offers customers a full browser page where they'll see the merits of the service and give them a chance to start the same 30-day free trial that has been offered since the service's introduction at Google I/O. It also offers the same $7.99 discounted price when signing up before June 30th, but doesn't seem to offer any special deal beyond that for Starbucks customers. The page also offers users a chance to check out the rest of Google Play -- Books, Magazines, TV and Apps -- in a nicely stylized format.

Additionally, the new service allowed Feedly to create a stand-alone web interface (found simply at cloud.feedly.com) that works in all major browsers without plugins or extensions. The transition to Feedly Cloud has another benefit, and that is the abilit...

Google+ Rolls Out Restricted Communities for Corporate Users

Google this week rolled out a new Google+ security feature for organizations intended to help them keep certain conversations private from the larger Web. Much like Microsoft's Yammer, Google+ restricted communities will only allow access to approved employees. "Whether it's designs of your beta product or notes from your team off-site, anything you post will remain restricted to the organization," Google+ product manager Michael Cai wrote in a blog post. Community administrators can decide whether the site will remain open to everyone at the company, or kept private by invitation only. Google+ also allows for people outside of your domain — clients, agencies, business partners — to join the conversation.
