I get the same 'your network is infected' warning after only a small amount of searching / browsing.
I was very much hoping that google would introduce a keyword – much like the 'playable:true' option we have with Google Video – that would return only results where full texts are available. (I keep trying things like 'copyright:false' but to no avail =)). |
the [copyright:false] idea is really nesacsary. i want to be to search through those books when i want a good read.
do you think google will also join the open content alliance?

I think Google is getting a beating somehow. Maybe that explains the outage? |
Have you tried with a US proxy? Daisy Miller comes in the period that is only not copyright in the US, not the entire world. I'm in Australia, and have the same problem (but haven't tried a US proxy). |
Yeah, I did try a US proxy... no results still. |
That's cool Hanan! Yes, I provided 1 or 2 hacks for Google Hacks (2nd edition), and 2 for Yahoo Hacks.
As for Google making available O'Reilly books in their entirety (showing full browsable pages instead of just snippets), I suppose O'Reilly is part of the Google Print Publisher Program http://print.google.com/intl/en/googleprint/publisher.html
But why isn't there a direct link to buy the book? The only link to O'Reilly goes to OReilly.com via a logo. Shouldn't there be a "buy this book" somewhere, if only out of fairness to O'Reilly so their book gets bought (it would also help the Google Print user, of course)? |
Does GP has an API? If it does, here's a new website idea for you, Philipp. Enter a name and see how many results you get. Store the names and numbers of results and see how your name ranks.
From my bookmarks:
Dave Winer – 0
Robert Scoble – 7
David Winer – 9
Jason Kottke – 11
Jorn Barger – 22
Doc Searls – 51
David Weinberger – 167
Jeffrey Zeldman – 478
Rafe Colburn – 558
Andrew Brown – 2600 |
Well, if there's no API you can always screen-scrape :)
Now how do I get this list of bloggers? I could then program it :) |
