VIVAnews - Google is paying a special attention to expand in Indonesia by preparing various business strategies. It was revealed yesterday that one of the designs is to provide users with more local information. 'We're now focusing on giving everything the users need," said Andrew McGlinchey, Google Southeast Asia Head of Product Management, yesterday, June 22.
Not only will it supply more local themes or add-ons to Chrome, Google will also patch up more with Google map or image search features.
The reason for this is that Indonesian users are fond of searching for images or pictures. "As for the Indonesian users, we'll provide image search features that are not available for those users in Japan, for instance," he said.
In addition, said McGlinchey, Google has included a sea of Indonesian new books in the Google Books. According to him, thousands of Indonesian books have been scanned by Google.
On the other hand, Google will not optimize its social media service for the Indonesian users.
"The social media service is not the objective," said Google Southeast Asia Head of Marketing, Derek Callow. According to Callow, Google has indeed launched Buzz. However, it only plays as a supporting feature.
