Seo Master present to you: Google has long believed that users should be able to export their data and use it with whichever service they choose. For years, the Gmail service has supported standard API protocols like POP and IMAP at no extra cost to our users. These efforts are consistent with our broader data liberation efforts.

In addition to making it easier for users to export their data, we also enable them to authorize third party (non-Google developed) applications and websites to access their data at Google. One of the more common examples is allowing a social network to access your address book in order to send invitations to your friends.

While it is possible for a user to authorize this access by disclosing their Google Account password to the third party app, it is more secure for the app developer to use the industry standard protocol called OAuth which enables the user to give their consent for specific access without sharing their password. Most Google APIs support this OAuth standard, and starting today it is also available for the IMAP/SMTP feature of Gmail.

The feature is available in Google Code Labs and we have provided a site with documentation and sample code. In addition, Google has begun working with other companies like Yahoo and Mozilla on a formal Internet standard for using OAuth with IMAP/SMTP (learn more at the OAuth for IMAP mailing list).

One of the first companies using this feature is Syphir, in their SmartPush application for the iPhone, as shown in the screenshots below. Unlike other push apps, Sypher's SmartPush application never sees or stores the user’s Gmail password thanks to this new OAuth support.



We look forward to finalizing an Internet standard for using OAuth with IMAP/SMTP, and working with IMAP/SMTP mail clients to add that support.

This week the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory launched its online multimedia archive. This site features a large collection of documents, photos, and videos of and about Mandela, including private letters and diaries covering all periods of his life. The archive is built on Google App Engine and is supported by a grant from the Google Cultural Institute.

Last week we posted about an amazing ride-along video of the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster. Now, as a coda to that, take a look at these words and photos from the Space Shuttle decommissioning process. In their retirement, the Shuttles will eventually go on public display, now that they have completed their service in space.

Finally, if you find yourself relaxing this weekend with a glass of wine, ponder for a moment how you could use that wine to turn ordinary metal into a superconductor. Then go ahead and drink up.


Once a week we post a Fridaygram, featuring cool stuff that has little to do with developer announcements. Each Fridaygram item must pass only one test: it has to be interesting to us nerds.
