Google Calendar

TechCrunch has posted some exclusive screenshots of Google’s upcoming AJAX-powered Calendar web application. Dubbed CL2, Google Calendar is a fairly long way from a public launch and is currently under a very strict private beta.

As expected, Google services such as Gmail will be able to integrate with CL2 and might even feature SMS notifications, that is sending a text message to your mobile phone as a reminder. We’ll have to wait and see what comes of it, but 30 Boxes might have some stiff competition on hand.

Google GDrive is not a rumour

ZDNet points out that Google is planning a new online storage space.However, there is one key difference to note about GDrive. GDrive is said to map to your computer like a simple network drive, enabling drag and drop usability.

It would essentially function as a G:\ drive in Windows.

With infinite storage, we can house all user files, including: emails, web history, pictures, bookmarks, etc and make it accessible from anywhere (any device, any platform, etc). We already have efforts in this direction in terms of GDrive, GDS, Lighthouse, but all of them face bandwidth and storage constraints today.

Google Page Editor launched

Google has launched their own What You See Is What You Get(WYSIWYG) webpage editor.It’s easy to use and works well on both Internet Explorer and Firefox. Opera is not currently supported.

This new tool is especially useful to those who do not know HTML. The service allows to upload files including HTML documents.

The goal of this project is to give users the tools they need to create static pages rather than ones that are frequently updated like blogger.

If Google’s Page Editor becomes sucessful then the next step by Google might be to offer domain registration and DNS services so people can hook up a domain to their brand new webpage.

Google is updating their Database

For last few days Google is updating their database, I have seen changes in PageRank…I have noticed this site getting PR3 and my friend’s site getting PR5.

This time Google is giving very less importance to incoming links…

According to Deep, there is some more important factor than links this time…

You can check what your site’s Page rank will be by using SEO Chat’s Future PageRank.

Indexing new Sites faster

Have a new site? Want search engines to index it fast? Well, the best method to index a site quickly is to get it linked to an already indexed site.

Manually sumbiting your site to all search engines will take weeks or even months to get your site indexed. Sometimes they just don’t index it.

If your site has a blog, claim it in Technorati. Claiming your blog in Technorati will get your site indexed quick.

This site was indexed by Google even before I thought of submiting it. All thanks to Technorati !

Social Bookmarking Plugin for Wordpress

I have always wanted this plugin, a few days ago I did a Google search on social bookmarking plugin for wordpress and got what I wanted.

At first I had a few problems downloading the plugin as the page had issues when viewed with Opera. I contacted the author and he fixed it in a few days.

0.35 is the  current version of the plugin, but Sociable V 1.0 will be released in the next few days. It has been completely rewritten with a bevy of new features added including support for many more bookmarking sites.

I suggest you wait for the next release, but if you can’t wait then try out Sociable V0.35 which is currently in beta.

Download Sociable V0.35
