The new demos of Android, Google’s mobile operating system, are very impressive. The UI has had a makeover, and there’s some impressive stuff going on here. Supposedly, Android will be shipping on some phones later this year, I just wish we knew more about the hardware that will be running it.

Google Jumps Head First Into Web Services With Google App Engine
Bookmarked via Ma.gnolia on Monday, April 7, 2008 @ 21:53 CDT by Daniel Andrlik
Google provides major infrastructure for web app hosting, in direct competition with Amazon’s Web Services. Google’s service is free unless you go over your limits, which look reasonable at the outset. Your app needs to be written in Python (more languages available later), which will be a limitation for some, but as you may have noticed I am quite fond of that language. 
That being said, the platform is pretty proprietary, and at this point I don’t have enough info on how easy/difficult it is to get your stuff back out of it if you need to. This is an exciting offering, but one I’ll probably wait and watch on.

Introducing the Google Contacts Data API
Bookmarked via Ma.gnolia on Thursday, March 6, 2008 @ 21:39 CST by Daniel Andrlik
Finally, Google has provided a secure way of accessing contact information from a Google account. I for one will be happy to no longer have to hand my password over to a third party to access my account data. It’s also nice to have a standardized way of getting that data that does not depend on screen scraping.
Kudos to Google for releasing this much needed API!
Official Google Blog: Yahoo! and the future of the Internet

OK sure, it’s troubling what Microsoft could do to Yahoo’s openness and the quality of their products. Microsoft has got a rep for acquiring and then ruining properties. But come on, Google, are you really that worried?
Mentioning the “overwhelming share of instant messaging and web email accounts”? Is this a petty revenge for Microsoft making such a stink about you buying DoubleClick?
I mean, I share some of these concerns, particularly how it could affect services/products like Flickr, Delicious, Pipes and the YUI libary’s development, but something just seems off here, oh mighty Google.
Rough Type: Desperately seeking the “killer best way”

Nick Carr has a pretty good article on the problems being faced by both Facebook and Google when it comes to monetizing the social networking space. A lot of us have been skeptical of ads on social networking sites, but what’s interesting here is how Carr concludes Beacon was an act of “deliberate risk-taking, if not desperation.”
I’m not sure I’d go that far, but he’s not far from the mark even then.

Wow, this is awesome. Having both Google and Facebook commit to portable data is a huge step.
