Google is going to disable its 7 Services
Wave goodbye to Google Wave and a bunch of others stuff, says Google,
listing a full seven services due to sign off permanently over the next
few months. Google’s spin: It’s just a little “spring cleaning,” never
mind the mess or inconvenience it may cause anyone who bought into this
stuff. Then again, it was offered up gratis, so who can complain?
In the official blog post
summing up what’s in store, Google pulls no punches, including a few
thrown in reverse: “[We’re] in the process of shutting a number of
products which haven’t had the impact we’d hoped for,” admits the
company, adding that it’s “integrating others as features into our
broader product efforts, and ending several which have shown us a
different path forward.”
Here’s a list of what’s out, and when:
Google Bookmark Lists, an “experimental feature for sharing bookmarks and collaborating with friends.” End date: December 19, 2011.
Google Friend Connect, a way to integrate social features with websites “by embedding a few snippets of code.” End date: March 1, 2012.
Google Gears, an open-source multi-browser interface
for running web apps and accessing related files offline. Google says
it’s all part of their shift to HTML5. End date: December 1, 2011.
Google Search Timeline, the little search timeline
that sometimes pops up when you google something. You’ll still be able
to see charts, if you like, using Google Trends. End date: Right now,
sounds like.
Google Wave, the collaboration/conversation tool I
only used a handful of times while contributing to a comics-related
column here. End date: April 30, 2012.
Knol, Google’s kind-of-sort-of response to Wikipedia, and while Google says it’s all part of a transition to its Annotum project, I’m not sure if all the stuff that’s in Knol’s going to make the jump. End date: April 30, 2012.
Renewable Energy Cheaper than Coal (RE<C), an
attempt to reduce the cost of renewable energy. Google says that
“[at] this point, other institutions are better positioned than Google
to take this research to the next level.” End date: Now, with the
results of the project published here.

Some Tips and Analysis to get a Job at Google,Apple & Facebook
Google, Apple and Facebook are the tech trifecta, so we found facts
that could help you land a job at one of these companies. No doubt,
there will be stiff competition: Nearly one in four young professionals
wants to work at Google, for instance, but there’s more room in the
Googleplex for software developers. Facebook gets 250,000 applications a
year and sifts through them to find the cream of the crop, preferring
those who build things, whether they’re apps or organizations. And Apple
wants, well, Apple fanboys to help create the next generation of
gadgetry, but you ought to have a reference from an existing Appler.
The tech field is booming, and the industry needs bright young talent to keep innovating. Some facts:
- An IT manager can make more than $110,000 a year
- Android app developers are especially coveted
- Data mining and statistical analysis are ideal collegiate specializations
So,
if you’re like most other young professionals and are looking to nab a
job at any of those three companies, take a gander at the info-graphic
below. There are tips on how to optimize your resume, how to land an
interview and how to impress the HR team. If you’ve landed a job at any
of these companies, feel free to offer tips and insights in the comments
below.

Some Snaps to Remembered..
One day without Google
Have you ever spent a single day online without
our friend, Google?
Have you ever spent a single day online without
our friend, Google?
Google owns our Internet
Whether we like it or not, “Google” is almost synonymous with “Internet”. Year after year, Google has developed enough online applications for us to be able to do anything you need to, by only using Google
Google is almost synonymous with Internet
Now we have a search engine, an online email service, an IM service, a blogging platform, photo and video sharing applications, a feed reader, an online word processor, an encyclopedia, a web site creator, an online directory and even an Internet browser!
Not to mention His PPC advertising system, its main source of revenue.
Now look at the list above. It´s pretty long, isn´t it? Well you know what? It´s only 10% of the programs, applications, widgets or services Google provides today.
Internet without Google?
Now the question is: would it be the Internet possible without Google?
Well, the natural response is yes, it would. But it would be an Internet without its best search engine,
What a mess!It seems almost impossible 2 work without Google!
without Gmail, YouTube, Google Video, Google Reader, Picassa, Blogger, Orkut, Google Maps, Google Docs, Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Google Chrome, Google Analytics, Google News, Google, Google, Google!
What a mess! It seems almost impossible to work without Google!
But it isn´t. That´s because - fortunately - for almost every service Google provides, there is an alternate service waiting to be discovered. So basically it all depends on your will to make a change. Are we ready to give up all these services and start One day without Google?
History
On September 4, 1998, Larry Page and Sergey Brin filed for incorporation as Google Inc. — they had received a $100,000 check from an investor made out to Google, Inc., and needed to incorporate that name so they could legally deposit the check.
On September 4, 1998, Larry Page and Sergey Brin filed for incorporation as Google Inc. — they had received a $100,000 check from an investor made out to Google, Inc., and needed to incorporate that name so they could legally deposit the check.
Prior to the launch, Page and Brin met at Stanford in 1995, and soon decided to launch a search service called BackRub in January 1996. They soon reevaluated the name (and the creepy logo) in favor of Google, a play on the mathematical figure, “googol,” which represents the number 1 followed by 100 zeroes. The name embodied their mission to create an infinite amount of web resources. And that they did.
Since then, Google has become a household name to billions of people worldwide. You’ll overhear senior citizens command their grandchildren to “google” the price of foot cream. You’ll witness toddlers punching the screen of the latest Android phone. And chances are, you’ve navigated the circles of Google+ (if not, let’s get you an invite already).

Play CityVille in Google+
Zynga is bringing its most popular game, CityVille, to Google’s Google+.
CityVille has drawn a lot more traffic to Facebook
than Zynga’s poker game. The former has more than 70 million unique
players every month, while the latter has about 30 million, according to
AppData.
Zynga is hoping for a similar effect on Google+. Why? Because right now Zynga is largely dependent on Facebook.
Facebook takes 30% of Zynga’s massive revenues, the same percentage that Apple charges for inclusion in the App Store. According to reports, Google+ is offering better terms for developers. Diversification would help the company grow faster and make its revenues less vulnerable to the whims of one platform.
“It’s no secret we’re big fans of Google+ here at Zynga,” reads a blog post announcing the addition of CityVille to the Google+ repertoire.
The latest estimates
suggest that Google+ has around 50 million users. Facebook has 800
million. Clearly Google’s network has a long way to go before it’s
comparable to Facebook. But letting its users build virtual cities could
help build Google+’s user base.

Google Plus is now open for everyone
 |
| Google Plus |
Writing on its official company blog about the 99 improvements that
have been made to the product since launching, Google’s Vic Gundotra wrote, “We’re ready to move from field trial to beta, and introduce our 100th feature: open signups.”
Today’s update also comes with big improvements to Google+ Hangouts,
including the ability to use them on Android devices (version 2.3 and
higher). It also includes search, which is a hybrid of content shared
on Google+ and results from around the web. “Just type what you’re
looking for into the Google+ search box, and we’ll return relevant
people and posts, as well as popular content from around the web,”
Gundotra wrote.
Google+ invites were in high demand when the service first launched
in July, and the service attracted 20 million visitors in its first
month. Since then, however, the service seems to have lost some of its
luster, with a controversy around brand pages fanning the flames.
Facebook has also launched a number of features that challenge what
were initially selling points of Google’s offering. The leading social
network revamped Friend Lists and made changes to the News Feed, both of which bring Google+ Circles-like functionality to the site.
Now that Google+ is open to everyone, we’ll see if the service can regain the momentum it had earlier this summer.
Google Indication to Launch of Google Plus to everyone.

Google Launches Hangout API for Developers
 |
| Google+ Hangouts |
In addition to the slew of new Hangout-related features announced today on the official Google blog, the Google+ team also announced
the launch of the Google+ Hangouts API for developers. This API
(application programming interface) will be available as a “Developer Preview” starting today – meaning it’s not a fully-cooked product, but
one that’s available for testing purposes only.
The new Hangouts API will allow developers to build their own
experiences inside Hangouts and build real-time applications that use
Hangouts, similar to Google’s own built-in YouTube player. The YouTube
player lets Google+ users in a Hangout watch videos together at the same
time.
Google also announced
screen-sharing, Google Docs editing and sketching as new built-in
features for Google+ Hangouts today, thereby forcing developers to think
beyond the obvious integrations to more creative uses of the Hangouts
API when building their apps.
To get started with the API, developers will build a Web application,
register it with Google and specify who on their team can load it into a
Hangout. The app behaves like a normal Web app, says Google, but it can
use the new APIs like synchronization. Developers can create a “shared
state” among all instances of their app so that all of their users are
instantly notified of changes made by anyone else. Also included are the
first few multimedia APIs that enable apps to do things like mute the
audio and video feeds of Hangout participants.
The increased focus on Google+ Hangouts comes at a time when interest in Google’s new social network is dwindling and Facebook has implemented several similar features
to those found on Google+. It’s not surprising to find Google promoting
Hangouts, then, given they’re one of the service’s main differentiating
factors from Facebook. Although Facebook offers video chat with friends
through its Skype integration, that support is limited to one-on-one
conversation, not group chats.
With Hangouts, developers could potentially build free alternatives
to paid apps for online meetings, podcasting, tutoring and education,
gaming and more. It should be interesting to see what developers come up
with. In the meantime, documentation, sign up forms and group-based feedback are available now, too.
About Google+ Hangouts API for Developers
The Google+ Hangouts API allows you to develop collaborative apps that run
inside of a Google+ Hangout. Hangout apps behave much like normal web
apps, but with the addition of the rich, real-time functionality provided by
the Hangouts APIs. Apps have the ability to control
aspects of the user interface, synchronize data between hangout participants,
and respond to various events in the hangout.
We are launching the Hangouts API initially as a Developer Preview. We'll be
gathering feedback during this early phase
and using it to rapidly improve the API, so be aware that functionality is
likely to change. You'll find that we've added additional tools directly in
the hangout itself to help you build your apps more quickly.
Getting started is easy. First, build your app
or just start with one of our pre-built examples
like Talking Heads, which changes your avatar into a talking Android of your choice.
Next, register it in the APIs Console,
and tell us who on your team should be able to load your app. Then,
start a hangout with your app!

Mens Love Google Map while womans Facebook:Survey
In breaking down the most used applications on Android phones based on gender, market analyst Neilson found 77.1 percent men drawn to Google maps while 81 percent women were attracted to Facebook.
Men Love Google Maps, Women like FacebookThere were other notable differences in active reach of social applications. The majority of the top 20 applications, including the streaming music service Pandora and two versions of the popular game Angry Birds, represented similar usage by both men and women.
Women also used Twitter slightly more than their male counterparts, with 16.5 percent as against 13.4. The new networking site Google + had more male users at 15.8 percent versus 7.2 percent.
The second most popular site was Gmail, equally used by both men (75.5 percent) and women (73.4 percent). Google Maps took third place for women, while Google Search nabbed that spot for men. Facebook and YouTube rounded out the top five for men, while Google Search and YouTube were among the top for women users.
Neilson stated in a blog post, "Outside of social media, applications like Amazon's Kindle and Words With Friends showed higher active reach among women, while applications like Quickoffice Pro and the Amazon Appstore had higher active reach among male Android smartphone owners."
And despite the stereotype that men don't like asking for directions, they seemed pretty comfortable using Google Maps, which has 77 percent active reach among men compared to 71.8 percent among women," he added.

Google reveals a Developer website for Google+ Api
Today i got a mail that..Google has just started a developer website for Google+ Api.
Mail...
Greetings developers,
Thank you for showing your interest in the Google+ platform on our developer interest form. We promised to let you know when we had more details to share. Well, that time has come...
Today, we’re launching the first of the Google+ APIs. This initial API release is focused on public data only — it lets you read information that people have shared publicly on Google+. Read our blog post for more details.
Also, we’re happy to introduce a new Google+ developers site. This will be the place to go for our policies, terms, discussions with other developers, access to documentation, tools that make development on the Google+ platform easier and more fun, and of course, the place where announcements concerning new releases will be made.
We’re looking forward to seeing what you build with the API. Today is just the beginning, and your work will affect what comes next, so go ahead and get started.
Happy coding!
- The Google+ platform team
 |
| Google+ Platform for developers |
The Google+ project brings the nuance and richness of real-life sharing to software. The Google+ platform brings that nuance and richness to all of the web. We started with Google’s own products, added the +1 button for site owners and content publishers, and introduced games from a handful of partners. That’s just the beginning though — we want every one of you who builds applications to be able to include rich sharing, identity, and conversations in your app. Today, we’re taking the next step on that journey by launching the first of the Google+ APIs.

China renews Google's operating licence
 |
| Google China |
China said that it has
renewed Google's licence to operate in the world's largest online
market, after the US company last year moved its Chinese search engine
overseas in protest over censorship.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology named Google's China website operator, Beijing Guxiang Information Technology Co. Ltd., as one of 137 firms whose licences were renewed following adjustments in their operations.
The ministry had ordered the adjustments after some firms had changed shareholding structures without official permission, provided services beyond their approved business range or had lax information security controls.
The ministry, which posted the license renewals on its website, did not specify the kind of changes individual companies had to make.
Google spokeswoman for China Marsha Wang confirmed to AFP that the company had been granted the licence renewal.
"We have passed the 2011 annual assessment (of the licence)," she said.
This means Google's Internet content provider licence in China has been extended for one more year, she said.
Google said in March last year it would no longer bow to government censors and effectively shut down its Chinese search engine, re-routing mainland users to its uncensored site in Hong Kong.
Google has maintained that such an approach complied with Chinese law.

Description about Google China :
Google China was founded in 2005 and was originally headed by Kai-Fu Lee a former Microsoft executive and the founder in 1998 of Microsoft Research Asia.Microsoft sued Google and Kai-Fu Lee for the move, but reached a confidential settlement. Google's Beijing based office was initially located at NCI Tower.
In 2005, a Chinese-language interface was developed for the
google.com website. In Jan 2006, Google launched its China-based
google.cn search page with results subject to censorship by the Chinese
government.
The Beijing office was moved to Tsinghua Science Park
in early 2006. The newest office has been in use since September 2006.
It is a 10-floor building located in Tsinghua Science Park, near the
south gate of Tsinghua University.
In Mar 2009, China blocked access to Google's YouTube site; access to other Google online services is denied to users on an ad hoc basis.
On September 4, 2009, after four years leading Google China, Kai-Fu
Lee announced his surprise departure to start a venture fund amid debate
about the Chinese government's censorship policies and Google's
decreasing share to rival Baidu.
In Jan 2010, Google announced that they and other US tech companies
had been hacked and that Google is no longer willing to censor searches
in China and may pull out of the country.

Google've worked hard to reduce the amount of energy our services use. In fact, to provide you with Google products for a month—not just search, but Google+, Gmail, YouTube and everything else they have to offer—our servers use less energy per user than a light left on for three hours. And, because they’ve been a carbon-neutral company since 2007, even that small amount of energy is offset completely, so the carbon footprint of your life on Google is zero.
They’ve learned a lot in the process of reducing our environmental impact, so they’ve added a new section called “The Big Picture” to our Google Green site with numbers on our annual energy use and carbon footprint.
They started the process of getting to zero by making sure our operations use as little energy as possible. For the last decade, energy use has been an obsession. They’ve designed and built some of the most efficient servers and data centers in the world—using half the electricity of a typical data center. Our newest facility in Hamina, Finland, opening this weekend, uses a unique seawater cooling system that requires very little electricity.
Whenever possible, They use renewable energy. We have a large solar panel installation at our Mountain View campus, and we’ve purchased the output of two wind farms to power our data centers. For the greenhouse gas emissions they can’t eliminate, they purchase high-qualitycarbon offsets.
But they’re not stopping there. By investing hundreds of millions of dollars in renewable energy projects and companies, we’re helping to create 1.7 GW of renewable power. That’s the same amount of energy used to power over 350,000 homes, and far more than what their operations consume.
Finally, Their products can help people reduce their own carbon footprints. The study (PDF) we released yesterday on Gmail is just one example of how cloud-based services can be much more energy efficient than locally hosted services helping businesses cut their electricity bills.

New Chrome Extension to +1 on any website
Since a lot of sites haven't added the +1 button, a Google Chrome extension adds one on.
The extension, conveniently titled Google +1 Button bit.ly/pxIn2I is available on the Chrome Web Store. Just like sites which have enabled the +1 button, sites you have +1'ed show a blue button.
As Google informs on the Chrome extension's page, your browsing history is sent to Google's servers. However, "Google doesn’t keep a persistent record of your browsing history as part of the process of showing you a +1 button or otherwise use the fact that you personally have visited a page with the +1 button. Google may keep some information about your visit, usually for about two weeks, to maintain and debug its systems," explains Google.
The +1 button will be used by Google to re-order how websites are ranked by search engines. A higher ranking site is more visible in Google search results - it'll appear as a result ahead of other sites in searching. It's also Google's way of competing with the Twitter's Tweet button and the ubiquitous Facebook’s Like. A +1 recommendation can be shared in Google Plus , Google's social network.

Below are some frequently asked questions about the visual changes to Google sign-in pages.
Below are some frequently asked questions about the visual changes to Google sign-in pages.
- How can I tell if I’m on the actual Google sign-in page?
The Google sign-in page is a secure page, and you should see a lock icon in the address bar before the URL. You can also check the URL of the page, and make sure it says either www.google.com/accounts or accounts.google.com. If you’re still not sure whether you’re on the actual sign-in page, just type https://www.google.com/accounts directly into your address bar, and sign in from there. - I don’t see any difference. Where can I get the new sign-in page?
At the bottom of your sign-in page, you might see the option to preview our new look. Once you click the link, the new sign-in page will become your default sign in page across all Google products that currently have the new design enabled. For a limited time, you'll be able to switch back to the old look by clicking a link at the bottom. - Why am I seeing different sign-in pages for different products?
Since we’re still in the process of making changes, not all products will immediately use the new sign-in page. - Why do I sometimes see the old sign-in pages?
Even if you’ve already seen the new sign-in page, the old one might come up again if you switch browsers, use a different Internet Protocol (IP) address, or sign in to a Google product that hasn’t started using the new sign-in page. - Will my bookmarks for Google sign-in pages still work?
Yes, your bookmarks should still work at the same URL as before. None of the design changes should affect any of the personalized settings you’ve made to your Google Account or to your browser. - I don’t like the new design, can I switch back?
For a limited time, you can switch back to the old version of the sign-in page by clicking the link at the bottom of the page. However, eventually this change will be permanent and you will not be able to switch to the old look. - Where can I report problems or feedback regarding the new design?To send us your comments on the new design, you can fill out our feedback form.

Blogger got fresh look,much cleaner
Google change the look of blogger now,and done very good makeover with very clean look.
As you may have heard, things are starting to look a little different across many Google products—and today, Blogger is the next product to get a makeover.
It’s been a few years since we made major updates to Blogger’s look and feel, and there’s a lot more to these changes than just shiny new graphics. We’ve rewritten the entire editing and management experience from scratch so it’s faster and more efficient for you—and easier for us to update and improve over time.
Throughout the design process, we conducted user interviews to help identify how to make Blogger even easier and more enjoyable to use. We also watched users try our new interface and made many refinements based on their feedback.
A streamlined blogging experience
Whether you’re on a dashboard or settings page of blogger.com, you can always create or edit posts with just one click at the top of the screen. Additionally, the post editor has been expanded and simplified to give you a larger canvas for drafting and previewing your work.
Monitor and grow your audience at a glance
In the new “Overview” section of your dashboard, you’ll be able to quickly get a pulse for how people are reacting to your blog with a graph of your most recent traffic numbers, comment activity and follower counts. For extra guidance and inspiration, you’ll also find a list of helpful links, a feed of Blogger updates and a showcase of other blogs you may find interesting.
Opt in now
Starting today, we’ll gradually let all bloggers choose to turn on the new UI, so your Blogger experience won’t be updated until you enable it. Over the next few days, keep an eye out for a pop-up announcement on your dashboard with instructions on how to get started, and check out this Blogger Help Center page to learn more about what’s changed.
If you have suggestions or feedback about the new look, click the gear icon in the top right of the navigation bar and select “Send Feedback.”
We’re working hard to fundamentally revamp and improve the Blogger experience from the ground up, and we hope you enjoy the first in a series of major updates that are on their way in the coming months.

We’ve rewritten the entire editing and management experience from scratch so it’s faster and more efficient for you—and easier for us to update and improve over time.
Throughout the design process, we conducted user interviews to help identify how to make Blogger even easier and more enjoyable to use. We also watched users try our new interface and made many refinements based on their feedback.
A streamlined blogging experience
Whether you’re on a dashboard or settings page of blogger.com, you can always create or edit posts with just one click at the top of the screen. Additionally, the post editor has been expanded and simplified to give you a larger canvas for drafting and previewing your work.
Monitor and grow your audience at a glance
In the new “Overview” section of your dashboard, you’ll be able to quickly get a pulse for how people are reacting to your blog with a graph of your most recent traffic numbers, comment activity and follower counts. For extra guidance and inspiration, you’ll also find a list of helpful links, a feed of Blogger updates and a showcase of other blogs you may find interesting.
Opt in now
Starting today, we’ll gradually let all bloggers choose to turn on the new UI, so your Blogger experience won’t be updated until you enable it. Over the next few days, keep an eye out for a pop-up announcement on your dashboard with instructions on how to get started, and check out this Blogger Help Center page to learn more about what’s changed.
If you have suggestions or feedback about the new look, click the gear icon in the top right of the navigation bar and select “Send Feedback.”
We’re working hard to fundamentally revamp and improve the Blogger experience from the ground up, and we hope you enjoy the first in a series of major updates that are on their way in the coming months.
