Google pushing to get more Latino-owned small businesses online

Google is expanding its push to help more small businesses get online, this time en español. The Internet search giant held a free seminar to teach Latino business owners how to create and manage their websites and promote their businesses. At a production studio in Los Angeles’ warehouse district — transformed for the day with colorful chairs and candy jars — Google employees explained in Spanish how to register domains, set up Google Alerts and use tools such as Google Calendar and Google Docs. Among those at the seminar were handymen, travel agents and insurance brokers.
