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 [...]

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 [...]

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.
