Five Pictures should be equal to five thousand words- ergo here is some pictures from Google Plus duding. the only free advice for the boys of mountain view- the check your hair in Hangouts is bad for balding people. But Seriously.
Year: 2011
Google Takeout rocks!
I love the new Google Takeout. Just take out all the data stored within Google and download.
and unlike Facebook – it kind of builds this almost within a minute thus showing they are serious on privacy. Facebook takes too long to build the archive.
I would also prefer to download the data as a torrent or anything which is resumable if the connection breaks
Coming up-
yet another preview of Google +
Google Product Launches
So dear G launched a whole new set of Products. Some thoughts-
1) Join up the Social Invite List here – it is called Google Plus. We hope it doesnt end up like Buzz http://www.google.com/buzz or Orkut https://groups.google.com/group/opensocial-api/?pli=1 or Plus One http://www.google.com/webmasters/+1/button/ or Wave (email killer) http://googlewave.blogspot.com/
When the biggest cloud computing company in the world announces a phased rollout to a product- we wonder if they are really sure on launching the product rollout or just were in a hurry again.
Machine learning wont work with social , chaps. Well not everything in social. And the Google Social Blog forgot to write about it http://googlesocialweb.blogspot.com/
Well anyways, even Google Finance’s automated announcements feed failed to pick many of their own product launches (or it does in an automated manner depending on which time period you choose – yes still no social buttons up http://www.google.com/finance?q=google
BACK TO GOOGLE PLUS
https://services.google.com/fb/forms/googleplus/
Thanks for stopping by.We’re still ironing out a few kinks in Google+, so it’s not quite ready for everyone to climb aboard. But, if you want, we’ll let you know the minute the doors are open for real. Cool? Cool.

2) Google Web Fonts- Great product, how and hey http://googlewebfonts.blogspot.com/ when do you plan to monetize uhm web fonts. Not that would be awesome. Not even a single ad on those pages- not even for philanthropy. or poor poets. or even Google Book Authors who self publish . Sound of silence….

3) Google Analytics gets some groove back. I really want to see much better integration of Google Apps and Google Analytics and Google Desktop search. Ditto for the interface. Enterprise software uses different fonts than retail software, dude. More fries, http://analytics.blogspot.com/ ?
Feature 1- Custom Reports for metrics I can slice and dice on my own
Feature 2 Awesome analytics for In-Page Analytics (beta feature) Beta is boring if overused. Try Theta maybe?
Feature 3 Daily Automated Alerts for Unusual Server /Traffic Activity
Feature 4 event Tracking is cool esp for understanding social media impact
It is still too early for mobile (in terms of traffic) as well as tablet analytics (?)
4) Angry Birds is still the best feature in Chrome (but there are lots others at http://chrome.blogspot.com/) and esp http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2011/06/working-with-chromes-file-browser.html
Try http://chrome.angrybirds.com/
There are ways to make software that are not evil. Very very disappointed at total lack of monetization of this chrome app. Not even a T Shirt for me to buy ad . sighs
Funny thing- the product manager forgot to take off Facebook like button or even add the +1 button or even the Tweet this button.
5) What do you love?

Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Errors
If you cannot measure it, you cannot manage it- Peter Drucker
Here is a RSS feed/website for all security incidents
http://www.us-cert.gov/current/ and http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/techalerts/
You can also see http://www.onguardonline.gov/tools/overview.aspx for tools to be secure online.
But the new measuring system is http://cwe.mitre.org/cwss/ to help being secure. It basically creates a score or an anlytical approach for measuring vulnerabilities.
Common Weakness Scoring System (CWSS)The Common Weakness Scoring System (CWSS) provides a mechanism for scoring weaknesses in a consistent, flexible, open manner while accommodating context for the various business domains. It is a collaborative, community-based effort that is addressing the needs of itsstakeholders across government, academia, and industry. CWSS is a part of the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) project, co-sponsored by the Software Assurance program in the National Cyber Security Division (NCSD) of the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS). CWSS:
and the top 25 errors in software are http://cwe.mitre.org/top25/index.html
You can use the list at http://cwe.mitre.org/top25/index.html and check your own corporate vulnerabilities. It is better to sweat in cyber peace than bleed in cyber war, huh. |

Chrome
If you are new to using Chrome, there are many delightful features just beneath the surface.
If you are an Internet Explorer or Firefox or Safari or Arora or Opera or Sea Monkey browser user- this is one more reason to test, just test Chrome.
Ok so who Made chrome- (note the link i.e about:credits is what you type in chrome to see features)
- Will Google be able to monetize Chrome the way it has monetized Android (Atleast by locking in both search,computing and browsing platforms)? I like the Adblock extension- and I would be happy to see more paid extensions. or even two versions one free and other freer (in choice) browsers for ads /security etc. maybe even a premium paid browser which has tor embedded in it , adblock enabled in it, and encrypted chat (like Waste Again) as an extension…. Hmm Hmm Hmm There is a SOCIAL version of Chromium called Rockmelt used ironically by Google Social Nemesis -Facebook (see http://blogs.ft.com/fttechhub/2011/06/facebook-partners-with-rockmelt-on-building-a-social-web-browser/)
- Will Google share more revenue with open source contributors and thus create a new path in open source revenue generation just like it did with online advertising as an industry? Hmm Hmm Hmm. or Will Facebook continue to lead the way with extensions and applications (which did predate the mobile app place- so thats one innovation u gotta give to Zuk’s boys 😉
Workflows and MyExperiment.org
Here is a great website for sharing workflows – it is called MyExperiment.org and it can also include Work flows from many software.
myExperiment currently has 4742 members, 270 groups, 1842 workflows, 423 files and 173 packs
Could it also include workflow from Red-R from #rstats or Enterprise Miner
