Ciye, yang sudah ngerti bahasa Indonesia, maen terjemahin aja.

Walaupun masih rada-rada kacau, tapi dengan teknik statistical machine translation, Google bisa terus belajar dan belajar sampai bisa fasih dan akurat dalam menterjemahkan.

Google charts meet Pac-Man

Another kindness of Google, Google Chart API is out. Not much you can do with it, as willy noticed, but surely you could save some bandwidth by hosting your chart on Google. And for some people, there’s something amusing you can do using Google Chart API. They made pac-man. Haha.

Google to Give Developers Access to Trends API

Marissa Mayer, vice president of search products and user experience at Google, gave a hint that Google will eventually provide an open application programming interface for its Trends analysis tool, allowing users to embed the tool in their applications, or download data from the application for personal use.

“While I can’t [give] particular dates for such a launch, I do believe that we will be making an API available so you can take the Trends product and embed it and use the data,” Mayer said

Wow, this will be exciting. Knowing and analyzing what people looking for could be a valuable resource. With open API developer can create more informative and clever things with trends data. I’m really looking forward to this.

Aha, finally, Google developer podcast is coming to town. The first episode talks about Google Guice with its developer, Crazy Bob.

I can’t wait to hear the interview with Google data API developer. They’re rock!

Warning: this podcast is very very technical, not good for non-technical people.

Google search result in XML format

Eris Ristemena — Sat, 17 Mar 2007 01:55:52 +0000

Many people would love to have feeds on Google search results, like they do on Google news or Google blog search. You can do many thing with this, for example you can build Google search like in your website or blog.

But Google doesn’t show any interest on giving away this feature. Instead they gave us Ajax search API which of course has limitation in number of queries.

It’s just a matter of time until somebody finally hacked this out. All you need is three additional parameters in your query:

ch=xxx, xxx is series of checksum numbers
output=xml
client=navclient-auto

here is the example. And you can see the demo how to use this feeds on you website here. You can also grab the source code here.

This hack is basically derived from previous hack on Google Toolbar which is an extension in Firefox. Someone has figured out the algorithm to generate checksum by looking at the source, and all you have to do is to add output=xml to get the results in xml format.

I have to warn you though, this hack may conflict with Google Term of Services, but it’s still interesting enough to know it.
