The idea behind the platform, which was seeded and launched by Google Ideas at the 2011 Summit Against Violent Extremism in Dublin, is to connect former extremists (‘formers’) and survivors, who will be sharing their theme-related experiences to help youth at risk to avoid joining extremist gangs and organizations. The new digital hub seems like a Facebook for extremists, but in fact works rather as a preventive tool, which teaches kids teh truth and urges youngsters think hard before they take the wrong turn.
The long-awaited could platform Google Drive has been finally launched. Now, Google users can store up to 5 GB of data online totally free of charge and can get even five times more by paying a modest price (or receive even more space for more money). The new storage space allows users to upload data in various formats (PDF, images, Google Docs, video files and many more), get instant access to their ‘treasure box’ whenever they need it and also share the data with friends and open documents, spreadsheets, presentations, etc. to colleagues when collaborating on a project. People who view the files can edit or leave a comment on the shared item, and the user can reply to them as well.
