Seo Master present to you: Developers of applications that require end-user authenticated interaction with Google services now have several options for authenticating:

• Installed Applications: "The ClientLogin API lets you incorporate programmatic login into your desktop or mobile applications. This API incorporates CAPTCHA for greater security against password trollers."
• Proxy for Web Applications: "The AuthSub API gives your web application the ability to access a user's Google services accounts without handling the user's login information. This API offers a secure mode, in which the web application can register with Google for greater security."

Seo Master present to you: Google engineer Mihai Parparita's latest Maps mashup is just too nifty not to mention here on Code: Overheard in NY + Maps' API + Reader = Overplot

His blog post explains a few of the specific problems he encountered while creating it:

• "The most basic issue with implementing this is geocoding all of the location strings (like "Canal & Broadway") to a latitude/longitude pair... It is not perfect, but since the set of addresses is pretty tightly constrained, I was able to add some rewriting rules to make the input more easily parsed. As of right now, 54% of the addresses are geocoded."
• "I didn't want to directly scrape the HTML of the site to extract all of the quotes. I ended up using the data stored in Google Reader's archive of the site's feed. This allowed me to get at the quotes themselves more easily, without having to worry about the chrome of the site."
• "Instead of each marker being its own overlay, I put all of them in the same overlay (see the QuotesOverlay class). Additionally, I did not split each marker into several layers (shadow, image, click area) - having the shadow be part of the image works well enough."
