On May 5th, Google introduced “Micro-Moments.” These moments occur billions of times per day and can be anything from want-to-know, want-to-go, want-to-buy and so much more. Today, Google will be livestreaming a new event entitled “Micro-Moments: The New Battleground for Brands.” Once again, we’ll be liveblogging the event, giving you our instant updates, thoughts, and analysis!
[1:55 PM] Thanks for following us as we liveblog the “Micro-Moments” event. Refresh the page every few minutes as we update our commentary. You can also join the conversation in the comments section, or tweet with the hashtags #thinkppc and #ppcchat.

[2:09 PM] Micro-moments are moments when we are open to input on our decisions. Quick moments that happen throughout our days that impact our purchases in the long run. An example would be searching for a new home. Google’s Mortgage Calculator is now available to see what you can afford in a matter of minutes. You can also search contractors, for sale homes and decorators. In the past you had to sit down multiple days and dig though each one by one. Now you can use what Google is terming “stollen moments” throughout your day to find what you are looking for all in one place.
