Sixty years after the iconic photo of an American Girl in Italy, by Ruth Orkin was taken, Ninalee Craig, now 83, has decided to speak up about the photo. She says that, despite what the photo may have conveyed, she was actually having “an absolutely wonderful time.”

She was only 22 at that time and was touring Europe alone when she met photographer Ruth Orkin. Together, they concocted the idea of filming the experience of visiting a foreign country alone. They took pictures for 2 hours on the streets of Florence and the iconic image was not staged, though Orkin did tell her to go back and walk down the street one more time.

A survey conducted by Bime gives an interesting peek at how Google is going about opening up access to Google+ — or perhaps in spite of its effort, through invites. The most surprising stats has to do with how students are now taking over the social network site, perhaps in an effort to distance themselves from parents and other unwanted “friends.” It also found that, though Google reached an impressive 25 million users less than 1 month after its launch, only 17% of these users are “active,” a mere 2.5 million people.

Google has its fingers in every pie, it seems, not content to stay with its core search offerings. “Learn With Google” is a site targeted to small businesses and features “All you need to know to grow.” It includes basic but important information for creating your business plan, learning about marketing, running AdWords to promote your business, etc. You get my drift: it is really a big infomercial for Google products and services. Even the URL gives you a hint it’s an ad: http://www.google.com/ads/learn/

So I’m not sure how much you’ll really learn about running a successful small business, but it is nevertheless choke full of information on how you can tie Google products and services into your small business, which seems to be really the purpose of the site (as all call to actions lead to these products/services) — and which is not a bad thing considering that you really kind of need to do these things.

As always, judge for yourself and visit Learn With Google.
