Just for fun I thought I'd see what impact css-dashes have on the Google+ base-page.
So we start with a 312k base page:
*% wc Google+.html*
1341 17301 312802 Google+.html
If we grab id/class attributes (just the stuff in quotes) we see:
*% cat Google+.html | perl -nse 'while (m,(id|class)="([^"]+)",sig) { print ""}'| wc*
0 1773 50420
Whoa.. 1/6th of the bytes are class/id names! (see http://
If you just remove the dashes from the class names you save 13k. In practice you can gain more since the css obfuscator will choose a smaller identifier..

RT @google: We're releasing +1 buttons to the whole web, making it easier to recommend content to your friends & contacts http://
So wish I could +1 slashdot comments... Instead I post it here for you..
"That's the point of a Google profile! To let people more easily find you. I would certainly hope that they allow indexing of this information.
Why would you want a private profile? Like Creed from The Office, I can make a private profile with Microsoft Word."

Wondering why your flash-based transport is so slow?
Flash 10.1 will foul up your transport speed. Need a silent audio file added to the swf to maintain 8fps (otherwise it auto-throttles down to 2fps)

Here's an even easier way to improve iGraph coverage! Just cut-and-paste URLs into the following form and I'll take care of the rest. (My previous multi-step howto only resulted in about a half-dozen submissions..)
You can find a list of uncovered sites here:

By doing this you'll help improve the social search, improve authorship detection and make building the implicit graph easier.

Going to post this here as well as follow up with email...
Got some good feedback from @[email protected] on the gbus today..
* When selecting the visibility/acl for an item the word 'Custom' is confusing -- suggested text might be 'Specific Circles/People'? It's awkward no matter which way you look at it. Also the ACL choices need some kind of tooltip or help to assist the user choosing the right one.
* University/Employer auto-complete rocks, would like to have a button next to customized University/Schools that would allow someone to add this customized data to our corpus properly specified. It would also be nice to display the logos on the profile (is that waiting for badges?)
* It would be nice to list degrees instead of majors.
* Employer name is coming from 'companies' it does not find other entities like School Districts -- perhaps the entity query could be broader, or freebase data could be better co-typed?

The relief gbus was under-capacity so I'm sitting here with @[email protected] at the local McDonalds snarfing some attwifi while we wait for the 9:45 shuttle to arrive......

I can't believe that fundamental things like converting strings to character sets and back is so horribly horked in Java/OpenJDK to this day. A scalability / code style change I've been promoting turns out that it generates way too much overhead.
So I thought I'd see Android's implementation

sooo much better. Optimized converters for the most common character sets implemented in native code.

Had a great lunch with @[email protected] and @[email protected] ..
Based on our conversations I'm going to claim this idiom *social referer*
For a number of reasons it might make sense to send the originating social profile in an API request. For example a nytimes +1 could include an sgn URL with the API request.
POST /plusone/create
Content-Type: text/json
X-Social-Referer: sgn://nytimes.com?pk=12345
This would help with spam mitigation (we could throttle individual accounts at a third party instead of an entire site) It would also allow us to have a reciprocal relationship with our partners since they can see the profile information in one way only. Of course we should be willing to send social referers to sites we make API calls to as well.
POST /api/v2/contacts
Host: api.yahoo.com
X-Social-Referer: sgn://google.com?pk=OBFUSCATEDGAIAID
