Doubt many people noticed -- but Yahoo Pulse is now Yahoo Profiles... They still have that lamer exclamation point generic profile pic...

Time to update a few igraph rules...

Unofficial Google phone support today:

* GTV Music app (won't play an album, only plays first song.)
* Picasa Multiple account + dasher fun (uploads going to wrong account, looks broken because both accounts have same name/profile photo) Figured it out by comparing obfuscated gaia IDs..

Lots of "Open Link in Incognito Window" required, sadly :(

Hey Sam Goto -- here's another worthy oEmbed partner...

I'm skeptical that we can support generic players for all these partners unless we don't give them a way to surface the amazon/itunes links that fund 'em.

If you have time on your hands try this:

1) Find spam comment on G+
2) Real time search for spam comment text
3) press report abuse as the spammer posts 'em.

(and then notify http://goto.google.com/es-escalations)

search quality peeps:

Can you autocomplete proper names that have stop-characters in them? Maybe pull them from freebase or something? #justsaying

cla4514war -- a book
ke -- a musical artist
3oh!3 -- another musical artist

Even odder is the prompt 'Search instead for cla4514war'

Note that that Youtube executes these searches properly. And an unreleased music product fails badly here (which was how I found this issue in the first place.)

First step to reducing most java binary sizes by 50MB is complete. Code that does not use custom balancers will not require a static version of lbv2client.

Thanks to @101926291824638317887 for coming up with the action plan (see attached doc...).

And big shoutouts to the folks that create and maintain TAP global presubmit and Rosie for making it somewhat painless.

4.1 breaks htmlunit 2.8, which breaks a bunch of js automation tests

nekohtml 1.9.15 looks upwardly compatible (crosses fingers)

A new future for Buzz?

Instead of getting rid of Buzz maybe we can turn it into what it's defacto become -- an echo of activity on the web.

Just as we have the games stream we can have the buzz stream -- the collection of imported content from you and your friends. Two simple changes are needed:

* Don't allow new posts to Buzz.
* Add +1 and share buttons to imported content -- allowing you to share the best stuff to your main stream.

Thoughts?

Is there any standardized igraph-like library for email address classification/normalization at Google?

I did a search for gmx.de and bellsouth.net and didn't find anything generic. Just lots of whitelists scattered everywhere like the following class. In any case if you're interested in this let me know since I'll likely be designing such a beast in the near future....
