 Google base has reach the age of…. 1

From google base blog.. what happened in the year..

Nice to see the uk mentioned as always

- The Google Base API that enables users to query items in Base and build their own cool mashups. Sites like Job Central, a national non-profit labor exchange, already are using the Google Base data API to include job listings from Google Base in their search results. Find a convertible car 4sale leads buyers to, yes, convertibles in Google Base, and plots their location on Google Maps

- Surfacing some Google Base results on Google when people are looking for items like used cars or pumpkin recipes

- Releasing such features as a rich text editor, reporting for clicks and impressions, and integration with Google Checkout and Google AdWords so that data providers can easily upload and manage their content and drive traffic

- Launching Google Base in the UK and Germany, so that people in these countries have a simple way to upload their data to Google

Graywolf just posted over on thread watch that yahoo had a invite only party…

Ask.com and Google both stepped up to the plate and sponsored an all inclusive party for anyone who wanted to attend. Yahoo however held an uber exclusive party for only 150 or so people. Now I’m sure I could have worked my network and gotten an invite, and someone else was very kind and offered me their invite, but I shouldn’t have had to. In fact after talking to several other people I found out there was an informal protest party being organized by others who got snubbed by Yahoo

If your not one of the 150 or not in Vegas the barry has posted some picture from in Hugh Hefner’s sky villa… !!

This quote is taken from SERT and a great write up by barry  from pubcon on yesterday

Aaron Shear from Shopping.com is next up, he did not have a presentation, but took the podium. He explains that highly trafficked sites that use load balancing can often run into problems with bad URL structures, with numerous URL “nodes.” He said if your site performs very slowly, it normally wont do well in Google. He said focusing on the long tail is very difficult to make sure all those pages are fully indexed. If you have to click 30 clicks deep to get to a product, it is not good user experience, and Google will see that. He said, consider inserting multiple navigational paths to get to the same product or landing page. A good approach is to sell the optimization as a giant needle mover for the company, but make sure the engineers get credit for it, will make them work harder, quicker and more for your department.

The depth is a very good point and i’m often playing around with nav’s doing tests and I really agrree .. google see the depth as a score!.

 Cheers barry keep them coming

The David Rumsey Historical Map Collection has been added to google earth.. http://www.davidrumsey.com/

This morning was incredibly exciting for me: when I opened up Google Earth, there were 16 of my historic map treasures floating serenely on the Google Earth globe. After months of hard work, the Google Earth team uploaded all the maps this weekend to the Featured Content layer of Google Earth. I was able to explore and fly around the old maps and use the transparency slider to compare the old world and the new; as I did this, I thought to myself that this is the perfect marriage of historic cartographic masterpieces with the innovative contemporary software tools of Google

Love it

google is now asking what we start our day off with ..

Well may day starts with a cup of tea and the news on the bbc…

After that a short bus ride and a short tube ride to my office..

Simple as that..

 So now google is offering the bit after all that.. The bit when I switch my laptop on and fireup my browser..

I’ve thought a lot about this challenge, and I’m excited to finally tell everyone about what I’ve been working on: a brand new feature of Google Apps for Your Domain called the “start page.” With this, organizations can provide a dynamic and unique-to-you central access point for essential information. Setting it up is quick and easy — much like setting up a Google Personalized Homepage — but with custom logos, colors and your organization’s own content, in addition to modules from our gadget library. Then each of your users can take your organization’s default page and change it up so it’s just right for them.
