Google Bets Big on HTML 5: News from Google I/O - O'Reilly Radar
“Never underestimate the web,” says Google VP of Engineering Vic Gundotra in his keynote at Google I/O this morning. He goes on to tell the story of a meeting he remembers when he was VP of Platform Evangelism at Microsoft five years ago. “We believed that web apps would never rival desktop apps. There was this small company called Keyhole, which made this most fantastic geo-visualization software
Adhearsion - next killer app for Ruby? - O'Reilly Radar
Foo camp attendee Ben Black alerted me to Adhearsion, a framework for developing applications in the VoIP space. Think of it as a Ruby on Rails for telephony. Developed by Jay Philllps who got frustrated by the slow uptake of Asterisk. Adhearsion is written in Ruby and lets those even without any VoIP experience write applications intuitively and productively or simply download and use a pre-writt
OpenSocial: It's the data, stupid - O'Reilly Radar
While I'm a huge fan of the idea of an open social networking platform, I'm bemused by all the enthusiasm over Google OpenSocial. As I sit with what I learn, the mild skepticism I expressed the other day has turned into full blown disappointment. This is nothing like the social network operating system that I got so excited about when I first heard Brad Fitzpatrick and David Recordon's thought's o
Mark Cuban, Facebook, and OpenSocial - O'Reilly Radar
Mark Cuban is, as usual, insightful when he describes the potential of Facebook profiles to be used as the basis for smarter social applications outside of Facebook. His call for a truly open Facebook API is a must-read for anyone thinking about open social networks. When you go to my Facebook profile, you get the real me. Thats not to say I answer every profile question. I don't. I'm not going to
Web2Summit: Opening Up the Social Graph - O'Reilly Radar
Brad Fitzpatrick and I just got off the stage at Web 2.0 Summit, where we talked about social networking love and hate. You'll see coverage elsewhere about what we said, though our slides can be found on SlideShare. Here, I'd like to take you behind the curtain and show how the talk came to be. But first, what I hope will be the news: Today I announced a new service for developers that is a key pi

The new standard will allow developers to create Facebook-like apps on any social network site that implements it with the same calls. The open API will have three parts People Storage Activity stream All of these calls will have a GData counterpart and they will use HTML and Javascript only. Google is considering adding OAuth (R
Good News, Bad News about Facebook Application Market: Long Tail Rules - O'Reilly Radar
My team at O'Reilly Research has been crunching the numbers on the rise of Facebook as application platform, and we've released a new report today, entitled simply The Facebook Application Platform. The good news has already been widely disseminated: there are nearly 5000 Facebook applications, and the top applications have tens of millions of installs and millions of active users. The bad news, a
What is Web 2.0? - O'Reilly Radar
I took a stab at answering the question What is Web 2.0? in an essay I wrote for distribution at our Web 2.0 Conference. The essay will disappoint those who look for a hard and fast definition, because I tend to think about the gravitational core that holds a solar system of ideas and experiences together, rather than some kind of box to contain them. But hopefully, it's a useful contribution. If
Google Uses Crowdsourcing To Create Maps In India - O'Reilly Radar
Google has been sending GPS kits to India that enable locals to make more detailed maps of their area. After the data has been uploaded and then verified against other participant's data it becomes a part of the map. The process is very reminiscent of what Open Street Map, the community map-building project, has been doing. The biggest difference is that the data (to my knowledge) is owned by Goog
O'Reilly Radar > Google is Supporting GeoRSS
GeoRSS, a very simple to use OGC format that extends RSS by adding location data, can now be consumed via Google Maps and the Google maps API. Congrats to Mikel and the OGC! As Google stated on the Google Maps API blog: To start we now support GeoRSS as a data format for geographic content in Google Maps. We want to enable users to create data in whatever format is most convenient for them, and fe
