Notes from the the Web
Friday, November 10th, 2006As 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 [...]
Google within del.icio.us using Custom Search Engine
Tuesday, October 24th, 2006I'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, 2006So 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, 2006Having 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, 2006On10.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, 2006Google 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 [...]
Geotagging: Three Dimensions off our Virtual Future
Tuesday, August 29th, 2006Nick 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, 2006GooglePark, 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.
