Videos von Google I/O

Ein Haufen Videos der Google I/O Konferenz gibt es hier.

Einige Videos die ich mir ansehen werde:

Google APIs - DeWitt Clinton, Jeff Scudder
This is an overview session about some of the many ways that a developer can enrich their site and more fully engage their visitors using Google products. We will cover a variety of products and APIs designed to quickly and easily improve and monetize your site, from AdSense and Custom Search to Feeds and Web Elements.

Google APIs - Michael Fink, Amit Weinstein
Google Charts Toolkit is Google’s unified approach for creating charts on the web. It provides a rich gallery spanning from pie charts to interactive heat-maps and from organizational trees to motion charts.

Google APIs, App Engine - Brett Bavar, Moishe Lettvin
We’re introducing two new APIs which you can use to power real-time web apps: the App Engine Channel API and the Feed API v2 with push updates. Learn how the new Channel API allows you to push data from your App Engine app to an end user’s browser.

Social Web - Brett Slatkin
This session will go over how to add support for the PubSubHubbub protocol to your website. You’ll learn how to turn Atom and RSS feeds into real-time streams. We’ll go over how to consume real-time data streams and how to make your website reactive to what’s happening on the web right now.

Use Facebook Connect

Schönes Tutorial mit guten Erklärungen wie man Facebook Connect auf der eigenen Seite nutzen kann.

This tutorial will guide you to the process of integration of your web community with Facebook. This means that when a visitor comes to your site it can log in with normal credenditals if it has, but if it has not it can click on the “facebook connect” button and try to log in with its facebook account, automatically.

Flickr für WordPress

Joe Tan hat ein flickr Plugin für WordPress geschrieben welches sehr gut aussieht:

This Flickr plugin for WordPress will allow you to pull in your Flickr photosets and display them as albums on your WordPress site. There is a pretty simple template provided, but you can customize the templates 100% to match the look and feel of your own site.
On the backend, this plugin will also add a new Flickr icon to your WordPress edit screen which will allow you to easily insert your Flickr photos into your blog posts with just a couple clicks.

Twitter Search Widget

Dustin Diaz verweist auf einige nicht dokumentierte Features des Twitter Search Widgets.

So there is a features object that you can pass into your constructor. There are currently four of these features.
the features object

new TWTR.Widget({
 id: 'my-element-id',
 ...
 features: {
 hashtags: true,
 timestamp: true,
 avatars: true,
 fullscreen: false
 }
}).render().start();

Albeit mostly self explanatory, they each do this:

• hashtags: defaults to true. setting to false will hide them.
• timestamp: defaults to true. setting to false will hide them.
• avatars: defaults to true for search. and false for profile widget. setting to false will hide them.
• fullscreen: (I love this feature!) defaults to false. setting to true will give you a full viewport sized widget, perfect for displaying on large screens at events, conferences, etc.

GeoMarker

Christian Heilmann stellt den Service GeoMaker vor.

In just three steps you can either get from URL to map or from text to map. If you add the site address to analyze as a URL parameter it even goes down to two steps.

Der Service nutz Yahoo Placemaker und versucht die Geo-Informationen aus dem Text zu extrahieren. Neben einer Map werden die gefundenen Orte auch gleich als hCard formatiert.

Ich habe es gerade ein wenig getestet. Die Ergebnisse waren nicht immer perfekt, aber trotzdem recht nützlich wenn man bedenkt wie wenig Arbeit es einen kostet
