Feeding twitter with feeds from Twitter

2010-01-23T06:31:00.000-08:00

Below are some old news about twitter.

1. Twitter Search results for any keyword(s) can be subscribed in the form of RSS feed.
2. Anyone's tweets can be subscribed in the form of RSS feeds, i.e, tweets are published in the form of RSS.
3. Any RSS feed can be automatically tweeted through Twitterfeed.com

Retweet: A retweet is a tweet, when someone reads a tweet, likes and spreads it, or replies to it.

Unintentional retweets:
Consider if someone takes a feed from twitter - say twitter search result for Google, and feeds it to Twitterfeed for automatically tweeting. All the tweets containing the word Google will be automatically retweeted.
This is not just my imagination, I have really seen some of tweets being retweeted immediately. I was wondering how this could happen, and found out that the twitter accounts @Fotosketch and @tweetsgadgets are just retweeting all the tweets containing a word "Gadget" through twitterfeed.

Will twitter take any action against this kind of accounts which feed the tweets back to twitter?

Subscribe to RSS feed : Dismissible message

2010-01-23T06:12:00.000-08:00

Here is a simple way to do it.

Copy the below code (do not forget to change the feedURL to your site's RSS feed URL) and add it to any part of your site.

<script>var subscribe = {
feedURL: 'http://www.didiknow.com/feeds/posts/default'

Orkut tries to add more users

2010-01-23T05:06:00.001-08:00

Google has removed “Friends Suggestion” feature from the Orkut home page.

That feature is replaced with a new feature to “Email friends to join orkut” which shows random 5 contacts from GMail contacts, who either do not have an orkut account or use a non gmail email account.

This clearly shows that instead of making users to add friends who are already using Orkut, Google tries to make the users invite their friends to orkut, who are new to orkut.

why dont Orkut photo albums integrate with Picasa?

2010-01-17T07:08:00.000-08:00

In how many websites do you upload the photos, and have redundant data in the web?

I used to upload my photo albums to Picasa, Orkut and Facebook. (stopped uploading to Flickr because of the storage limits)

I hate uploading the same photos which I already added to my Picasa album, again to Facebook / Orkut, just for sharing with my friends.

Facebook has a very good solution for this. Fotofan app can directly bring my Picasa albums to my Facebook profile, with a separate tab called Picasa tab. In addition to this, updates will be posted to my wall automatically whenever I add photos to Picasa.

Orkut and Picasa being Google's own products, Orkut doesn't have a similar feature. Orkut apps are not even comparable to Facebook apps. Long way to go for Orkut applications.
But Google has merged photos uploaded to Blogger blogs, to Picasa albums. The blogger buzz post asks "Ever wanted to see all the photos you've uploaded to your blog in one place?" and the Blogger photos are integrated in Picasa, I am wondering why Orkut albums cant fit with Picasa? If Orkut albums integrate with Picasa, even the photo comments can be synced between Orkut and Picasa albums. Let us wait if it can ever happen.

Configure Google Friend connect Recommendation gadget for Blogger

2009-12-29T08:55:00.001-08:00

Google Friend connect ‘s recommendation gadget can be added to blogger blogs, since all the blogger blogs are setup with Friend connect.
The “Recommend it” button needs to be present for each blog post, and the Aggregation gadget will be only one for the whole blog.

Installing the Aggregation gadget is easier. But, how to add the “Recommend it” button for all the posts?
Copy the code provided under “Add this to the pages where you'd like a button to appear:” from Google Friend Connect .
It will look like,

<!-- Include the Google Friend Connect javascript library. -->
<script type="text/javascript" 
src="http://www.google.com/friendconnect/script/friendconnect.js"></script>
<!-- Define the div tag where the gadget will be inserted. -->
<div id="div-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" style="width:100%;"></div>
<!-- Render the gadget into a div. -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var skin = {};
skin['HEIGHT'] = '21';
skin['BUTTON_STYLE'] = 'compact';
skin['BUTTON_TEXT'] = 'Recommend it!';
skin['BUTTON_ICON'] = 'default';
google.friendconnect.container.setParentUrl('/' 
/* location of rpc_relay.html and canvas.html */);
google.friendconnect.container.renderOpenSocialGadget(
 { id: 'div-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
   url:'http://www.google.com/friendconnect/gadgets/recommended_pages.xml',
   height: 21,
   site: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
   'view-params':{"pageUrl":location.href,
"pageTitle":(document.title ? document.title : location.href),
"docId":"recommendedPages"}
 },
  skin);
</script>

Some changes need to be done to the above code, for it to function in Blogger. See the below snippet, the red portions of the text are the ones you need to remove, and the green ones to be added.


<!-- Include the Google Friend Connect javascript library. -->
<script type="text/javascript" 
src="http://www.google.com/friendconnect/script/friendconnect.js"></script>
<!-- Define the div tag where the gadget will be inserted. -->
<div id="div-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" style="width:100%;"></div>
<div expr:id='data:post.id' style='width:100%;'/>
<!-- Render the gadget into a div. -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var skin = {};
skin['HEIGHT'] = '21';
skin['BUTTON_STYLE'] = 'compact';
skin['BUTTON_TEXT'] = 'Recommend it!';
skin['BUTTON_ICON'] = 'default';
google.friendconnect.container.setParentUrl('/' 
/* location of rpc_relay.html and canvas.html */);
google.friendconnect.container.renderOpenSocialGadget(
 { id:  'div-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' ,
    id: '<data:post.id/>',
   url:'http://www.google.com/friendconnect/gadgets/recommended_pages.xml',
   height: 21,
   site: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
   'view-params':{ "pageUrl":location.href,
"pageTitle":(document.title ? document.title : location.href),
'pageUrl':'<data:post.url/>','pageTitle':'<data:post.title/>',
"docId":"recommendedPages"}
 },
  skin);
</script>

This code snippet has to be added to the Blogger template.
How to do it?
1. Goto Blogger dashboard of your blog.
2. Goto Layout tab, click "Edit Html"
3. Check the "Expand Widget Templates" checkbox
4. Locate
<div class='post-footer'>
in the template.

Google Transliterate and Google IME (Input Method Editor)

2009-12-21T08:38:00.001-08:00

Google transliteration is a Google Labs feature, which allows you to type in any Indian language (Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, and more) or in Nepali, Persian, Greek, Urdu and more languages using the normal English keyboard. (Type phonetically using roman characters. Supports 17 languages.)

Google Transliterate was first announced as Google Indic Transliteration service, which was available only for indian languages. Now it has been expanded to many other languages like Persian, Greek, Urdu.

This feature can be installed into any website, to allow the users to type in any of the available local languages. Read the Google Transliteration API documentation for configuring this feature for your website.

Not only from the Google transliterate page, and from websites, Now the Google transliterate feature can be installed in your PC, so that you can start typing in your local language in any window (Notepad, Wordpad, or any Text area). Once installed, you need not have internet connection for the transliteration to work, it will just run from your computer.

Google IME (Input Method Editor) is the software, that you need to install, to enable the transliteration in your PC. After installing it, use the Language bar in the task bar, to choose the language to type. The complete installation / uninstallation / usage guidelines are available here.

Google IME is now available only for Windows (Windows 7/Vista/XP (32-bit)). Unfortunately I have a 64 bit PC running Windows 7 and could not try this for now. Hope this will be soon available for 64 bit, and also for Mac and Linux.

Try Google transliterate and Google IME and share your comments below.
