Google development Kit

Hey dont be afraid. It didn't hit the market yet. But it is really not very far from that. Since google is becoming the largest provider of software(!) as a service. So days are not very far from now when instead of using JDK or .NET SDK or any other Software development kit, you will be using GDK (!). The speciality of GDK would be to use the cloud architecture. Like when you use java.util.arraylist.sort(), it runs on your own machine or in your own server. But in GDK it may call an api to sort which will reside anywhere in the Google infrastructure. Array sort may seem pretty ambitious. Because in this case you need to handle a lot of data back and forth. But computationally expensive jobs can be done in this manner. Like data visualizations. Google has released their open visualization API. Of course there will be always flexibility to work on your own hardware. There is already more than 40 API in the google code and lot more are waiting in the lab. Even you can have an IDE to play with this APIs. So days are coming when web based development kits will run the market.

Adsense + Photosense

I was just roaming around facebook. We had a wonderful one dish party lately. I was just watching the photos. And this one is one of them. Mainly this is a mixed fruit vegetable salad. No doubt the salad was really cool. But there was one thing missing in the salad, Jack fruit. But don't worry you can buy it from cellBazaar. (Look at the right side advertisement). It just clicked me that days are not very far when adsense services (Google, Adbright) will sense images..

Submit your blog to google

You can submit your blog to google using this Web master tool. the process is simple. Google will provide you a meta information and you have to put the code snippet in the header section of your web site. This will assure google that you are the owner of the site. But i found a problem during working with my blog. The code snippet provided by google is as follows

                   <meta name="verify-v1" content="your key asdfghjklop" > 

I put this code snippet at the end of my blog's head section. But when i went to save my template i got bad format XML error. and that is obvious. The code snippet doesn't end properly. With a very basic knowledge of HTML I added a forward slash before the ending angel bracket. and it worked.. 

                   <meta name="verify-v1" content="your key asdfghjklop" /> 

Am I a spammer

May be true. But really google astonished me. I was just searching and google sent me this error page. Can you imagine just for searching...

Google Street View yes or no

Wanna buy a home?? Go to your garage pick your car and move on to your area. Or you can just log on to Google Street View. Search your new home. Google is making our life easy. But still there is lots of debate about Google Street View. It has already covered the important areas of the world. Pictures of those places are pretty much clear. And don’t be very much astonished if you get yourself on Google Street View. So here is the problem. Legally you can take any picture around the road and use it for your purpose. But if someone’s picture comes up within this there are few issues. Google may have a lot of option on this. May be you can report a particular snap from Google Street View. Regarding all this, the followoing video may be interesting. In this video there are few snaps which really needs a little more consideration.

Selected Google tech talks

Here is few Google tech talks hand selected by users

This is my Idea for Google...

Have a look at the stunning google street view.

Very nice view. Now give a closer look. On the right side there is Bill Board. But the left side of the streeet is empty.. In future what can happen See below

Now have a look @ the left sideof the street. It is not empty..

So google can easily sell their location based advertidement on this kind of virtual bill board. 

And there are a lot of added benefits. Like managing the adverts would be a lot easier than now. 

In the next century or a little before that when human driver less vehicles  will use google street view , then this virtual bill boards can play a crucial role in marketing. 

Showing up Google Adds on your Facebook Application

Its about facebook & google. I was trying to show few google adds on my Facebook app.

The code is very simple.. Just the Google Add scriptlet and then the Sample PHP code from facebook developer. In a whole it looks like below.





// Copyright 2007 Facebook Corp.  All Rights Reserved.
//
// Application: nothing
// File: 'index.php'
//   This is a sample skeleton for your application.
//
echo "This is my FB app";
require_once '/home/da2642e0/facebook/facebook-platform/client/facebook.php';


$appapikey = 'Your App ID';
$appsecret = 'The secret Key';
/*$facebook = new Facebook($appapikey, $appsecret);
$user_id = $facebook->require_login();


// Greet the currently logged-in user!
echo "
Hello, !
";


// Print out at most 25 of the logged-in user's friends,
// using the friends.get API method
echo "
Friends:";
$friends = $facebook->api_client->friends_get();
$friends = array_slice($friends, 0, 25);
foreach ($friends as $friend) {
  echo "
$friend";
}
echo "
";
?>

Of course this was not working, that is why I am blogging. 

Here is a very silly problem. Oh dont worry the problem is not in the code.

It is a FB app settings related issue. I dont know very clearly but it worked in my case, When I selected the IFrame instead  of FBML..  Look @ the image below.
