Building a Site in the Times of Google


It's interesting to see how a company like Google could change the way people create sites.
You don't even need to know HTML or to buy expensive software like Dreamweaver to build a simple site: Google Page Creator can do it. If you have pictures and want to share them with your friends, you don't have to spend hours building a gallery - you have Picasa Web Albums that hosts your photos, creates very nice slideshows and it's easy to set up. You don't have to worry about embedding videos: what format to choose, who will see it, how to balance the stream rate? Google Video, YouTube and many other sites take all the burden.
Blogs give you more freedom of expression and Blogger is the perfect complement for Page Creator. Share the latest news, talk about what's on your mind and get feedback. If you want to expand the discussion from your site, it's not necessary to setup a complicated forum: Google Groups might be all you need. It's easy to manage and it lets you rate posts, upload files and create wikis.
Google Docs & Spreadsheets lets you collaborate with you friends or partners and it's a good way to host documents and spreadsheets. If you write open-source software, Google is nice enough to host all your files and give you access to all their versions.
If your sites grow, Google Search comes to the rescue and lets you create a custom search engine. You can also keep track of your visitors with a professional solution like Google Analytics and monetize your sites using AdSense.
If you happen to have a store, Google can put you on the map, host your database on Google Base, make your merchandises visible in Google Search or in the sponsored links section and process the purchases (for free in 2007).
So it's astonishing to see how many things you can do without paying for hosting or learning to code. Google tries to connect the dots in Apps for Your Domain, by integrating all these services in a meaningful way.
Some will say it's not smart to depend too much on Google, others will want to stand out and build their own custom pieces, but the thing is that it's really easy to create a site and only focus on content.

Gmail


gmail是google2004年4月1号的愚人节推出的,当时给大家的反映是google又开愚人节的玩笑,但后来事实是google真的推出了1G的大容量的邮箱gmail。而当时的hotmail才3M,雅虎才4M(1G=1024M),国内的邮箱就更不用提容量了。现在的gmail已经2G多了,而且还在一直增加。虽然容量大可以让你永远不要删除任何邮件,但容量大只是gmail的优势之一。那其他的优势呢?当然这都是相对其他邮箱来说的:

1)gmail发送速度快。有次看到同学用163的油箱发送一张毕业照,发送了N久还是在"发送中",而gmail给你超快感的发送速度。当然只可以发送10MB的附件,这是个遗憾。

2)gmail里的邮件可以以对话的形式一封一封地叠在一快,因为你们的邮件是同一个话题。而其他的邮箱呢?上个月的邮件可能在第N页了,而且还不知道上一个邮件都谈论了什么东东。

3)gmail的用某一类邮件可以归档,用gmail的话来说是给/她的邮件个"标签"归类。比如N多信笺里有一些是你和他/她的,你可以新建个标签"他/她",这样你就可以很快地找到有关他/她的邮件啦。

4)gmail的自动保存功能。你有碰到过当你很辛苦地写了上千字的邮件,而这时突然宕机或更糟糕突然浏览器崩溃更或者是突然停电。这下你是真的是要哭死啊。有了gmail后你就不必要担心这样的事再次发生了:因为当你书写的时候gmail每隔20秒自动保存你的内容。

5)gmail最酷的功能是内嵌了google的IM聊天工具,google talk也叫gtalk。只要他在线你轻轻一点鼠标就可以立刻跟他文本聊天的,而且更可爱的是保存你的聊天记录。当然你要说不能发送图片啊?傻啊,可以通过gmail发送图片啊。而且最近有了新的功能,他/她离线也可以发送消息了。

6)gmail和google的其他主打产品的整合力度很大,只要你拥有gmail就可以登陆blogger/docs/photos/calendar/groups/reader and so on。

7)gmail的好处真的是三天三夜也说不完的,一说起来就犹如滔滔江水连绵不绝。可是你会说,我还没不会注册gmail呢?对,gmail不公开注册的,而是需要别人邀请你来注册的。这样就过滤掉了一些低端网民,不像qq,什么人都有。现在我gtalk里的好友全部都是国内的牛人啊,比如keso/aigaogao/liuren/maitian/flipig/bumian/laobai,你可以google下,他们可都是走在互联网的前沿啊。来个急刹车,回到主题上来,提供两种注册gmail的方法:从这进去 http://kedooo.cnc.sx08.urhd.com/gmail/按照提示就能注册你想要的ID;也可以留下你的email,我发个邀请给你。

8)你还不知道gmail在哪儿?很好记的,直接输入www dot gmail dot com( www.gmail.com),enter回车!

9)关于gmail,你可以google gmail 可以查到很多有关gmail的文章。也许他们说的更全面,在这我只当是抛砖引玉。最重要的是要勤于用搜索引擎,你将会发现你发现你越来越开窍啦。:)

A field trip to Google


[We often host visitors in Google offices. Just recently, as part of a Chamber of Commerce program, a group of Seattle-area high school students visited our Kirkland office. The point of such visits is to inspire teens to think about working in technology some day. Here's a firsthand report from Jenna Warman, a student at Lake Washington High School. - Editor.]
I had no idea there was a Google campus located in Kirkland, but recently 35 of us filed off the bus and into the large brown building. As the large metal doors slid open, we all fell out of the elevator and took in our very first sights of Google.
What I liked most about the Google building were the different Google Doodles all along the walls and the lava lamps in the reception area that were Google colors. Then we met some of the Google workers, who showed us their current projects they had been working on, such as Google Maps and Google Talk. I had never known about Google Talk or Gmail until then.
After that they each grabbed a small group of kids and led us up and down the hallways showing us the different offices and mini kitchens. My tour guide explained that at Google the employees do not just sit in their offices all day -- they walk around and visit each other. The environment and atmosphere seemed warm, welcoming and friendly.
When the tours were finished we all piled into the reception area again and we all squished together to take a group photo so we could always remember our wonderful visit to Google. But wait, it did not end there -- we got back on the bus and were driven to Carillon Point where we would be eating lunch with many different people with many different and interesting jobs. We had the privilege to listen to Dr. Bonnie Dunbar talk about her exhilarating adventures up into outer space and the Museum of Flight. Listening to this amazing and courageous woman explain about the different experiences she had in space, about the telescope they were working on the space station, it kind of made me want to become an astronaut.
After that, it was time to go back to school and brag about what an amazing opportunity we'd gotten, and all of the wonderful things we saw and learned about at the Google campus. The last thing that I have to say is thank you to all of the people that gave me this wonderful opportunity. I hope other young students will be able to experience something like this during their high school career.

Google Invests in Chinese Site


The New York Times reports that Google invested in Chinese Xunlei.com in some kind of partnership. The NYT writes “people close to the companies said Google paid about $5 million for a 4-percent stake in the company” and that Google is now “allowing the Chinese Web site to use Google’s search capabilities.” From Germany, I can barely connect to Xunlei.com (and its various blog subdomains) due to timeouts, but according to the NYT the site “allows users to download music and video clips.”

Google联手中移动07年1月4日推出移动搜索


次消息从2005年施密特秘密拜访中国移动董事长兼首席执行官王建宙开始,Google将与中移动合作推出移动搜索的传言不断,此后中移动也曾透露正在和Google公司探讨合作的可能。但未得google和中国移动的证实。
但是,网上流传得越来越厉害。据了解,目前Google给中国移动提供的“移动梦网”搜索服务已经在诺基亚6681、摩托罗拉等5款手机上上线。“一两个星期前上线后,通过我们的检测显示,手机用户移动梦网流量就上涨得非常快。”上述Google人士告诉记者。
“中国移动无疑是一家高度中国化的公司,Google和中国移动的合作,某种程度上说明它在中国的本土化取得了突破性的实质进展。”互联网评论人士、中科院经济管理学院院长吕本富对记者表示。是不是将来得google在中国之路将变得畅通些,google搜索和其他服务再也不会被“碰墙”,google“网页快照”也可以顺利打开?
google和baidu也将展开全面的竞争?虽然目前百度在移动搜索方面涉及的还只是文字搜索,而Google和中国移动的合作更集中在对彩铃、图片、动漫以及网络游戏等多媒体搜索上。上述Google内部人士对记者表示。虽然百度和google市场份额大大高于其他公司,二者在北京和上海的市场份额合计占到80%以上。百度的市场占有率在上半年上升很快,在北京、上海和广州都超过10个百分点,google的用户数基本保持不变,但市场份额在下降。
但请给李开复google本地化一点时间!李开复表示,Google来到中国的战略,会严格按照四个步骤来进行:第一招聘、第二产品、第三流量、第四赚钱。
06年12月25日,双方宣布达成合作协议,中华电信将与Google合作向台湾用户提供移动搜索服务,两家公司将分享提供移动搜索服务获得的收入。具体合作形式是在中华电信的“Emome”平台上将提供一个搜索引擎,Emome平台是中华电信在台湾向其用户提供的移动互联网服务。国内主要的下载服务提供商迅雷证实与Google合作07年1月5日宣布融资成功!
google将再中国展开一系列的本地化之路和收购,李开复透露Google所衡量的标准,至少要具备技术、团队或是用户规模等其中一项的优势。
