Welcome to the Connected Church News!
This news item is part of the weekly top 5 news bulletin (from Week 4, May 22) specially packaged for leaders of Nonprofits, Churches and Faith-based Social Ventures.
Android Auto team from Google made an announcement last week that they are bringing multiple new features to the platform, including split screen that lets you have two elements, for example a map on one side and a media player on the other while you’re driving, making it easier for you. The design has been revamped. It’s made more responsive and easier to operate. But what I wanted to bring to your notice is a couple of things in the announcement that gives us a peek into audience behavior even inside a car. The behavior of consuming content. The announcement says that Google is bringing YouTube and other streaming services to Android Auto, so that people can consume content inside the car, on their screens. The announcement says people’s screens in the car are getting bigger, they are consuming more content. Google also says that the 3 things that people are looking for, when they’re driving are ,navigation, media, and communication. So media is right there.
