seo New personalization features in Google Friend Connect 2013
Seo Master present to you: Today, we're excited to announce several new features for Google Friend Connect that make it possible for website owners to get to know their users, encourage users to get to know each other, and match their site content (including Google ads) to visitors' interests. Check out the Google Social Web Blog for an overview of these new features.
We also want to point out that there are APIs for developers who want to play with the interests data programmatically. With the new interest data described on the Social Web Blog, developers can write custom polls and access the interests data directly. Friend Connect provides API level access to both individual interests information as well as aggregate information for all users of a site. Interests information can be added programmatically for the signed-in user or via the poll gadget, and it can be accessed via both the JavaScript API and the OpenSocial REST API. The Guitar Universe example site should give you an idea of some of the things that are possible with this new launch.
As always, feel free to ask technical questions related to the Friend Connect APIs in the developer forum.

seo Google Buzz API adds Track and some improvements 2013
Seo Master present to you:
2013, By: Seo Master
Let's say you're really interested in coffee and tea and would like to know every time someone talks about them. You've been able to do that for the web with Google Alerts. Now you will be able to do the same thing for Google Buzz with our latest feature: Track. Plus, you can restrict your search to a specific geographic area! This API will allow you to enter a search query and from then on receive any new public Google Buzz posts—in real time—that match that query. It uses PubSubHubbub, which is the same open standard used by our fire and garden hoses.
To start receiving updates, you only need to send a query to the track endpoint, subscribe to the returned link, and then start receiving updates. If you'd like to take it for a quick spin, simply subscribe to a track endpoint via Google Reader (which happens to support PubSubHubbub). For example, if you’d like to receive all the new public Google Buzz posts about coffee or tea, simply open Google Reader, click "Add a subscription," and paste in the following URL:
https://www.googleapis.com/buzz/v1/activities/track?q=coffee+OR+teaTwo of our firehose partners, Gnip and SuperFeedr are already using this feature. Gnip was able to add the feature into their API aggregation service with only a couple hours of work; their service update should be live early next week.
We’re excited to see what you develop with this cool new feature. Please note that it’s experimental and we may make changes in response to its use.
Additionally, we’ve been looking for ways to make the development experience with the Google Buzz API easier. One of the things we think we can improve upon are error messages. So, over the next couple weeks we’ll be rolling out significantly improved error messaging.
For example, if you tried to read an activity without including the activity id before today, you’d receive an HTTP error code and nothing else. Starting today, you’d also get a detailed error message returned in the body of the response:
<errors xmlns="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005">
<error>
<domain>GData</domain>
<code>required</code>
<location type="parameter">postId</location>
<internalReason>Post ID is required.</internalReason>
</error>
</errors>
The count API we announced back in mid-July has been returning the the number of times a specified link was shared on Google Buzz. We have started including short links (e.g. tinyurl.com/runningwithfins) in the count as well. Now you can specify the long link or any corresponding short link to get the total available count. This will give developers a much more complete count of links to a certain URL, however indirect.
Please visit the Google Buzz API documentation site for more details on these updates and swing by the Developer Forum if you have any questions.
seo iGoogle adds support for OpenSocial 2013
Seo Master present to you: 
Developers using the OpenSocial API can now reach tens of millions of iGoogle users! As of this week, iGoogle now supports OpenSocial in both the US and Australia, with the plan to roll it out to more users soon. In general, we think "social is better" when it comes to the web - activities such as reading the news, doing a crossword puzzle, sharing a todo list, or watching a video are all better when done with a friend. These are all things that iGoogle users love to do, so making them social on iGoogle was the next logical next step.
If you're interested in getting started writing social gadgets for iGoogle, check out the full announcement on the iGoogle developer blog.

seo New Google Buzz API features, including a garden hose 2013
Seo Master present to you: 
It’s been less than a month since our last launch, but we couldn’t sit still so today we’re announcing three new features. We think these will help developers create deeper, more engaging user experiences.
First, we wanted to make the firehose experience available to those who didn’t have the required server resources to support that amount of traffic. So we built a “garden hose” that’s a random sampling of public Google Buzz posts with a query rate that’ll come under the free quota limit for Google App Engine. As such, many more developers will be able to easily get their hands dirty on this great source of real-time data.
Second, we’ve created an API to return the people associated with a particular activity query. That is, you can now search for people who have recently created a public post that includes an arbitrary string or related geo-location. For example, if you wanted to see the people associated with Red Sox near Fenway Park, you could use this URL for the JSON response.
Third, we now enable users to discover and explore content related to a particular post. With this new API, developers can now access and deliver Google search results related to the topic of that post. For example, given this post about Coworking Day, you could add ‘/@related’ to the end of the self link to get this JSON response of related links. Cool, huh?
As always, these features are documented in more detail on the Google Buzz API documentation site. Please swing by the the Developer Forum and let us know what you think!

seo New Google Buzz API features, including a hose of fire 2013
Seo Master present to you: Since we introduced the Google Buzz API at Google I/O, we’ve been working hard to make it better, broader, and more useful. Today we're introducing several new features that are the direct result of your feedback.
We're launching the Google Buzz firehose — our top developer feature request. With the firehose, all public activities are available as they are published with a single subscription, thanks to syndication via PubSubHubbub.
We’ve had some fun coming up with cool things to do with the firehose. For example, Bob Aman coded up Buzz Mood, an App Engine app inspired by Twistori. By scanning for posts that contain certain keywords, Bob’s able to give us a sense for the mood across all of Google Buzz in real time. Definitely take a look at the the source to get ideas for your own apps!
For more inspiration, also check out our firehose launch partners. Integrating with the firehose today are Collecta, Gnip, OneRiot, Postrank Analytics, and Superfeedr’s Track.
We’re making these new API features available starting today:

seo Everybody's talking: the Social track at Google I/O 2013
Seo Master present to you: I had a great time at Google I/O -- meeting lots of developers from around the world who are interested in developing applications that use social data. In addition to building web applications for traditional social networks like orkut, MySpace and hi5, developers are also looking at enterprise and mobile applications which take advantage of the social graph, gadgets for Google's platforms like iGoogle, Google Calendar and Gmail, and gadgets for the 5 million websites and blogs powered by Google Friend Connect. We had some important questions raised in many of the sessions and also in the fireside chats with containers and app developers. It was exciting to see the whole OpenSocial ecosystem come together to discuss the current status and progress of social technologies, as exemplified by the I/O Developer Sandbox.
All the sessions at Google I/O were recorded, and videos and presentation materials are now available on the Google I/O website. Here's a little more info about the sessions in the social track:
Google and the Social Web
Daniel Holevoet outlined all the ways Google uses social technologies, highlighting those services which allow developers to extend them using the OpenSocial APIs. During his talk, Dan announced the new support for OpenSocial gadgets in Google Calendar, which include hooks into a calendar-specific API for accessing the currently-selected date range. Dan demonstrated the Quartermile OpenSocial application he wrote along with Arne Rooman-Kurrik and showed how the app could be used for different purposes across iGoogle, Gmail and Google Calendar and talked about how it could be used on any website via Google Friend Connect or on traditional social networks supporting the OpenSocial APIs. Of course, Dan didn't get to cover all the exciting news about Google's social initiatives during this talk-- a real-time gadgets API was announced during the Developer Sandbox!
Google Friend Connect Gadgets: Best Practices in Code and Interaction Design
Jonathan Terleski (lead designer on Google Friend Connect) and I presented this session on best practices for building Google Friend Connect (GFC) gadgets for the millions of websites and blogs using GFC today. We gave a brief overview of OpenSocial, followed by some design principles and a basic framework to think about when building GFC gadgets: what are the social objects, how do users contribute them, and how to users consume them? In the last part of the talk, I discussed how to use page context in your gadgets for content, skinning and language while showing some small bits of code to accomplish each. Most importantly, we announced the opening of submissions to the Google Friend Connect gadget directory and support for OpenSocial 0.9 in GFC gadgets.
Beyond Cut and Paste - Deep integrations with Google Friend Connect
In this talk, Arne Roomann-Kurrik and Chris Schalk talked about how they built the Plane Crazy site for flying enthusiasts and the Chow Down site for restaurant connoisseurs as example sites demonstrating how to integrate Google Friend Connect with existing login systems and add social functionality using the REST and RPC APIs. While these sites were built on top of Google App Engine (using Java and PHP), they talked about the other client libraries and raw protocols available for similar integrations. The Chow Down site is already open-sourced, and the Plane Crazy site will be shortly.
Google Friend Connect and the Real World
Patrick Chanezon led this session along with Shivani York, Henry Chan and Srivaths Lakshmi of TIME.com and Paul Berry of HuffingtonPost talking about how they integrated Google Friend Connect into their sites. Both TIME.com and HuffingtonPost used Google Friend Connect to create social lists where you rank the top items from the news, such as "Top 10 Movie Catchphrases" and "The World's Most Famous Swimsuits." Khris Loux, of JS-Kit, concluded the session by addressing why it's a good idea to integrate with Google Friend Connect and how the web is enhanced by having open API access to social data.
Building a Business with Social Apps
Shawn Shen and Chewy Trewhalla, Developer Advocates at Google, and Gerardo Capiel, VP of Product Management for the MySpace Open Platform, led this session showing how developers can make a living by building social apps. Virtual currencies, the recent OpenSocial extension proposal for a virtual currency spec and implementations on hi5, 51.com and other networks were discussed. In talking with a wide variety of developers and preparing this session content, our team learned even more about this industry, and we hope you can too.
Designing OpenSocial Apps for Speed and Scale
How do you use standard web optimization techniques in combination with existing and new features of OpenSocial 0.9 to develop a fast social application which scales efficiently? Arne Rooman-Kurrik and Chris Chabot examined this question in great depth. They took the Quartermile application which they developed and dived into the bandwidth, cpu and monetary savings achieved by applying a variety of optimizations--from image spriting, to data pipelining and proxied content. From the naive implementation to the optimized implementation, they showed how you could improve latency by nearly 70% and drastically reduce the cost of hosting a social application.
The Social Web: An Implementer's Guide
Joseph Smarr, Chief Platform Architect at Plaxo, led this standing-room-only session about the current state of the social web and how "The Web is now social... and the Social Web is now open." He recapped progress made in the last year, with the emergence and increasing adoption of a variety of technologies which make up the Open Stack: Open ID, XRDS-Simple, OAuth, Portable Contacts, OpenSocial. He gave many demos, including demonstrating the death of the "password anti-pattern" leading to a 92% conversion rate on users importing their contacts from sites supporting OpenID+OAuth and Portable Contacts.
Powering Mobile Apps with Social Data
Many people today have a mobile device which has internet access, and they probably use those devices as much (if not more!) than they use their computers. I explored the different ways to use social data from the web to enhance the experience users have with their mobile devices. I demonstrated and dove into the code of three different types of apps -- pure web apps targeted at mobile devices, a web app which uses some native GPS functionality via Google Gears and adding a social scoreboard to the "Divide and Conquer" open source native Android application. I then spoke a bit about the future of mobile development and how the features available between native applications and web applications are beginning to merge with the new HTML5 and W3C standards which provide access to native functionality such as databases, app caches and GPS location data.
OpenSocial in the Enterprise
Social networks are typically thought of as tools for personal communication, but they've increasingly become important in the enterprise world as well. Chris Schalk of Google led this panel along with representatives from IBM, Salesforce.com, Oracle, eXo, SAP and Atlassian to share the ways enterprises have used OpenSocial technology outside of and behind the firewall.
There's a wealth of new information in these presentations which were all prepared especially for Google I/O, including several new announcements. The presenters also developed quite a bit of code for Google I/O, which we'll be releasing as Apache-licensed open source projects over the next couple weeks. Stay tuned to the OpenSocial blog for those releases.

seo LinkedIn Adds “Mentions” Feature Similar To Facebook 2013
Seo Master present to you:
LinkedIn on Thursday unveiled the new feature called “Mentions” which makes it easier for LinkedIn users to involve with their connections and companies in conversations and status updates on LinkedIn.
This new LinkedIn feature work similar to Facebook and twitter. On Facebook, once you start typing the person’s name into your status update field on the homepage, a drop-down menu appear and you can select your friend from the drop-down list, then type your comments and post it. While in twitter, you can trace the users by simply mentioning “@ABC” in compose new tweet box and tweet the comments to the relevant person.
In LinkedIn, you can simply enter the name from the connections list or company’s name in the status update box. You’ll see a drop-down with the best matches, select the name and post it. The user or company will receive your status update in their notification list. You can also mention other LinkedIn Members(excluding first-degree connections) as long as those members are involved in same conversation in the comments section of the post on LinkedIn Home Page.
We think that LinkedIn’s new feature “Mentions” will be an easiest way to initiate the conversations with your connections and allows you to respond immediately when someone begins a conversation with you.
As per LinkedIn, “Mentions” feature is available only to English-speaking users. The company is planning to roll out “Mentions” across all global members very soon.
Do you think “Mentions” is a boon for LinkedIn?

LinkedIn on Thursday unveiled the new feature called “Mentions” which makes it easier for LinkedIn users to involve with their connections and companies in conversations and status updates on LinkedIn.
This new LinkedIn feature work similar to Facebook and twitter. On Facebook, once you start typing the person’s name into your status update field on the homepage, a drop-down menu appear and you can select your friend from the drop-down list, then type your comments and post it. While in twitter, you can trace the users by simply mentioning “@ABC” in compose new tweet box and tweet the comments to the relevant person.

seo Who's @ Google I/O - spotlight on the Social Web 2013
Seo Master present to you: Google is making the web a more sociable place by contributing to new standards and releasing new products that make it easy to integrate your website with the social web. We've invited a few friends that are helping build the social web to Google I/O so you can learn what's coming next and what it means for you.
Learn from successful developers
Social apps can grow up fast, and some have attracted tens of millions of users. We're planning sessions to help you understand the business side of social apps, and we'll have a panel where you can pick the brains of some of the biggest social app developers in the world.
Make some new friends
There's more to a successful social app than just a creative idea. From analytics to payment processing, there's a lot of code to write beyond the core functionality of an app. Luckily, companies have been springing up to fill the needs of this ecosystem. You can meet some of these new companies in the Developer Sandbox and see how their products can make your app better (and your life easier).
Meet the containers
One of the key benefits of OpenSocial is the incredible distribution it provides to app developers. Building your app on OpenSocial makes it possible to reach hundred of millions of users around the world. We've got sessions planned to let you meet the folks building OpenSocial platforms and learn more about what kind of apps work well in different social environments.
The next generation
IBM, Salesforce.com, Oracle, eXoPlatform, SAP, Atlassian - not who you'd expect to be speaking on an OpenSocial session. Speakers from these companies will come together to talk about how the enterprise software development community is bringing social concepts and technology like OpenSocial into the enterprise.
To see all the sessions we've got planned to help you learn about the social web, go to http://code.google.com/events/io/sessions.html, and search for 'social'.
*Keep up with the latest I/O updates: @googleio.

seo Who's @ Google I/O: spotlight on Social Web (including Buzz!) 2013
Seo Master present to you: Following on the heels of today's announcement on Buzz, we're excited to bring you the latest on all things social at Google I/O, starting with a session on Buzz APIs and a new panel session!
What's the hubbub about Google Buzz APIs?
Google Buzz is a new way to share updates, photos, videos and more, and start conversations about the things you find interesting. In this session, we'll take a deep dive into building with the Buzz APIs and the open standards it uses, such as ActivityStrea.ms, PubSubHubbub, OAuth, Salmon and WebFinger.
Where is the social web going next?
With the advent of social protocols like OAuth, OpenID and ActivityStrea.ms, it's clear that the web has gone social and is becoming more open. Adam Nash (LinkedIn), Daniel Raffel (Yahoo), John Panzer (Google), Lili Cheng (Microsoft), Monica Keller (MySpace), and Ryan Sarver (Twitter) will discuss the importance of such emerging technologies, how they've adopted them in their products and debate what's next.
Here are additional sessions that'll give you a deep dive into the emerging technologies and standards that will help you create a more engaging user experience for your web applications and sites, and enable a people-centric web.
To learn more about and register for Google I/O, visit code.google.com/io. We add new sessions and content to the I/O website each week, so follow @googleio on Twitter to keep up with changes!

seo Join the Conversation Around Google Buzz 2013
Seo Master present to you: This morning we announced Google Buzz, a new way to share updates, photos, videos and more, and start conversations about the things you find interesting.
We'd like to take this opportunity to invite developers to join us as we prepare the Google Buzz API for public launch. Our goal is to help create a more social web for everyone, so our plan for the Buzz API is a bit unconventional: we'd like to finalize this work out in the open, and we ask for your participation. By building the Google Buzz API exclusively around freely available and open protocols rather than by inventing new proprietary technologies, we believe that we can work together to build a foundation for generations of sites to come. We're ready to open the doors and share what we've been working on, and we'd like for you to join us in reaching this goal.
Please visit the Buzz API site on Google Code, subscribe to the Social Web Blog, and most importantly, join us on the Buzz API mailing list.
We'll have advanced sessions on Buzz APIs at Google I/O, our annual developer conference in May. To learn more about and register for I/O, visit code.google.com/io.
Update: Fixed typo in the first sentence.

seo URLs are People, Too 2013
Seo Master present to you: By Brad Fitzpatrick, Software Engineer
So you've just built a totally sweet new social app and you can't wait for people to start using it, but there's a problem: when people join they don't have any friends on your site. They're lonely, and the experience isn't good because they can't use the app with people they know. You could ask them to search for and add all their friends, but you know that every other app is asking them to do the same thing and they're getting sick of it. Or they tried address book import, but that didn't totally work, because they don't even have all their friends' email addresses (especially if they only know them from another social networking site!). What's a developer to do?
One option is the new Social Graph API, which makes information about the public connections between people on the Web easily available and useful. You can make it easy for users to bring their existing social connections into a new website and as a result, users will spend less time rebuilding their social networks and more time giving your app the love it deserves.
Here's how it works: we crawl the Web to find publicly declared relationships between people's accounts, just like Google crawls the Web for links between pages. But instead of returning links to HTML documents, the API returns JSON data structures representing the social relationships we discovered from all the XFN and FOAF. When a user signs up for your app, you can use the API to remind them who they've said they're friends with on other sites and ask them if they want to be friends on your new site.
The video below can walk you through the API in detail, but if you're eager to get started check out the Social Graph API homepage and the developer documentation. And let us know what you think in the Social Graph API Group.
