Here's my new recipe to keep consumer/corp accounts separate:

* Use Chrome Dev
* Activate the Mutliple Profiles feature in about:flags
* Create profiles for Corp/Consumer (and for me GA+) accounts
* Customize the theme for each profile so you can quickly tell at a glance that you're using one profile vs. another.

Done! No more multilogin hell! No more OTPs just because the session ID changed. And good visual cues to ensure I don't post something wrong.









 

 

LOL - comment from a thread on consumer + :

*Darren Bounds* - I hope the day never comes where I'm able to import RSS, Atom, Twitter or Facebook content directly into +. Give a Hoot. Don't Pollute.









 

whoa... people really want their facebook friends... I didn't think this would go that far and wide....

Good sign -- Dave Winer dislikes Google+









 

And the official blog post. http://t.co/hdKgR57

 

Finally! http://t.co/qBarcTr You're going to love it!

 

 

wow, *all* Yahoo Pulse profile pages are returning 404 pages right now. The sad part -- not a peep on twitter or blogs.

ouch









 

 

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://www.corp.google.com/~plindner/no_crawl/css.txt)

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..











 

 

Upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich this weekend. There are some negatives, instability, flaky&laggy gmail, etc. However it's all trumped by one feature -- support for multiple accounts in Talk.









 

Sparks-like thing for Yahoo Meme. Worth a look... Also where suggested followers show up.

Do I get a prize for sending 4 build-cop notifications today?

Everyone wants to break people.oz today :)









 

Now we need to add support for +1s of email messages.

Can zipit and other backends handle mid: urls as specified in RFC 2392?









 

RT @google: We're releasing +1 buttons to the whole web, making it easier to recommend content to your friends & contacts http://goo.gl/ ...

 

Coding to deadline and Adult Swim Google TV app don't mix!









 

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)

To anyone that naysays private java build rules I present one example of IDE autocompletion shame:

And let's not get started on com.google.inject.internal...









 

Interesting bumping+unread side-effect.

When you add a new person to your circles you get all of their posts at the top of the stream. I like that, but it's a little jarring since you see older content on top of the newer stuff...









 

Am I the only one excited about having this in blaze?

strict_java_deps = 1

Adding it to one of my build targets now.. Makes you realize the bloat you import, that's for sure!









 

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:

http://s/?fileprint=//depot/google3/googledata/quality/igraph/userid_handler_defs/README

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

OH: Opensocial may be dead at google, however we're getting plenty of use out of the corpse!
