The German news magazine Spiegel zoogles (“zoogeln" for “Zufalls-Googeln”, which means “random googling”). Here’s how zoogling works:
Note: a variant of this game is image-zoogling.
Scott suggests the following Google search to find MP3 music downloads (where “jackson” can be replaced with any artist):
“index of/mp3” -playlist -html -lyrics jackson
Imspire developer Zach send this in:
“The entire Imspire team is pleased to announce the release of GSuite
1.0, our new application to further
enhance the Gmail experience by adding several useful
features not available from a completely web based interface.
Among the features added are new mail notification, mailto: URL
handling, easy access embeded browser, and tray access to Google & Gmail
search features.”
As Steve R. informed me, several Gmail notifiers have stopped working. Someone’s commenting this “seems a little evil”, another one’s saying “Google is fast becoming the new Microsoft”.
Now while the Gmail add-ons are nice things and we all wish for a Gmail API, until the day Google releases such they have the right to change the workings of Gmail (upon which these tools rely) whenever they want to. Everyone writing screen-scraping tools knows the risks involved.
Alek mailed me the following information:
“A while back, Google announced Google Compute – here is their FAQ:
http://toolbar.google.com/dc/faq_dc.html
Again, it’s a good cause and GREAT they did this, since a lotta
non-tech savvy people can’t figure out how to work the FAH client
which you use from Stanford - see:
http://folding.stanford.edu/
The “bummer” is that Stanford updated the “core” (or executeable)
that does the computations ... so what NEEDS to happen is that Google
has to “approve/accept” that core, and provide that update to the Toolbar
users - the total number is actually in the hundreds of thousands.
Since they have NOT done that yet, those people running Google Compute
are now “stalled out” ... since they can’t run any more work units from
Stanford until Google upgrades the software on their end.”
