Notes from the the Web

Friday, November 10th, 2006

As per yesterday’s post, I am attempt­ing to live out­side desktop applic­a­tions.
Notes

Signed up for Google Apps for Your Domain. As I am enter­ing a “micro-business”, I really don’t want to set up all the infra­struc­ture. I hope Doc­u­ments, Spread­sheets and soon Google­Share­point (formerly known as Jot­Spot) will flow into these cus­tom apps soon.
VoIP. Inter­est­ing thing to […]

Google within del.icio.us using Custom Search Engine

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

I’ve always wanted a search engine for just the sites I’ve tagged in del.icio.us.
With Google Cus­tom Search Engine, I’ve added my del.icio.us sub­scrip­tions page to the Included Sites. You could prob­ably do the same thing with Google Marker from your sub­scrip­tions.
Yes, a smarter way of set­ting this up could be a dynam­ic­ally gen­er­ated page […]

The New Nickel-Tube: Google and YouTube

Tuesday, October 10th, 2006

So Google pur­chased You­Tube. US$1.65B in shares, paper-work money or an entry in an SEC fil­ing.
In cold-hard num­bers: You­Tube has a repor­ted 100 mil­lion view­ers per day; based on the pur­chase price, each view equates to US$0.0452 over a year. Or, another way to look at it: as long as Google “earns” US5c for each […]

First Writely Blog Post

Friday, October 6th, 2006

Hav­ing recently used Google Spread­sheets , and the bet­ter fea­tured Edit­Grid : I thought it best to give Google’s Writely a spin.
As a sid­e­note, I am con­tinu­ally impressed with Edit­Grid. The external Web data tool per­mits auto­mated for­eign exchange rate and stock mar­ket updat­ing. Every minute or so, there is a […]

On10.net

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

On10.net.
Microsoft on design; but more than sli­cing and dicing Pho­toshop. The big kahuna/picture. More than what it looks ini­tially too.
I am an avid watcher of Google’s EngEd videos (eg: Grid-based Integ­rated Bioin­form­at­ics Sys­tems for High Through­put), and Microsoft’s Channel9 videos (eg: Model driven devel­op­ment in Dynam­ics AX); these provide a visual per­spect­ive on from people […]

Google Inside your Business

Thursday, September 14th, 2006

Google and Intuit have announced a major part­ner­ship. Along with the Google Maps changes this week where an organ­isa­tion can advert­ise at a loc­a­tion — the world of web applic­a­tions and deeper con­nec­tion between the desktop and inform­a­tion — is at hand.
It would be extremely unlikely in the near-term that a web-based account­ing applic­a­tion for small […]

Geotagging: Three Dimensions off our Virtual Future

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

Nick Hodge, Flickr.com, Geot­agged: spent the greater part of today geot­ag­ging my images stored in Flickr. Geot­ag­ging is the addi­tion of spa­cial or geo­graph­ical metadata (that is: lat­it­ude and lon­git­ude) to my uploaded images. The four cam­eras I’ve used do not have GPS, so this geot­ag­ging caper is a manual post-processing effort.
The res­ol­u­tion of the […]

GooglePark: Scoble goes to Google

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

Google­Park, in the style of South Park; Scoble. OK, you have to be a Web2.0 watcher to get some of it… trust me, it’s funny.

Google Moon

Sick of Google Earth, try a dif­fer­ent body in space: Google Moon.
