Does someone knows if there is any tool on the internet that makes possible to create and share events, so people can check things like: attend to, like it, favorite it and also post their own events. Also for that you could create different types of rooms or directories for example: inside the web design room/directory you can post and view other users events but just related to web design?
This sounds very familiar to me, but I don't know if I can find a tool that can do it all.
A friend of mine which is an artist is very interested to have a room like that so she could post her events there and ask other friends to share the same room and post their own related events (becoming a network).
If anyone know about something like this it would be great if you could share it.
I've tried to search internet over it but nothing solid so far.
Thanks in advance
It would rely on mysql backing. a table for each "room", a user table, etc...then use php/ajax/jquery for the posting of events, etc...Sounds like an interesting project! On a side note, i've been waiting to use something like this: http://www.stream-hub.com/ for ages. That would make one cool website...
I think http://upcoming.yahoo.com/ is something interesting close to what you want.

I am working for a business that deals with auto body shops - we have them subscribed to a service and want to enhance that service by utilizing the Goolge Places API.
I would like to update the places entries by adding or changing specific photos, descriptions and contact info. I realize there is a section of the documentation that deals with adding a 'place report' but I felt this flow was unclear and/or ambiguous.
In other words, what happens when i place this report? Is there a vetting process that only google is involved in? Does this even do what I'm asking it to do? Is this creating a new entry entirely?
Any help on clarification is appreciated. I may have missed the obvious here so if you feel that way let me know with a link please.
The Places Photo service is a read-only API that allows you to easily add high quality photographic content to your application.

Did you not understand the 'read-only' part?
Developing an app on android platform to get the ted videos which will replicates ted .
I want to give user experience and use based on these...
category based, views based, talkers based,tag name based.
Unfortunately after long googling still am not able to find a better way to get or separate the talks based on above conditions using the feedburner list like the below ones,
http://feeds.feedburner.com/TedtalksHD
http://feeds2.feedburner.com/tedtalks_video/
Is there any api like thing or some other way to get it done better. I tried with google reader api but in that the feeds are not listed based on its category.
I really appreciate your help.
At first I was thinking that it would be a job for a yahoo pipe, but after looking at the feed it looks like every item is tagged with the same Higher Education category. No luck going that route.
I think you might want to look at the youtube data api's.
http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_understanding_video_feeds.html#Understanding_Video_Entries
It looks like in that data set you'll get alot more information including the number of views and favorites on youtube.
Oops, forgot to mention that the TED videos are always on youtube at, http://www.youtube.com/user/TEDtalksDirector
We should be able to access some of it so that we can edit the placement of each GUI object inside of CoreGui. So, other than security reasons, why are we not allowed to edit placement of GUI objects?
Also, why can't trusted users use CoreScripts? What if they need to access HttpGet so they can provide a nice display showing where their best friend is at the current time and place? SocialService won't always do the trick.
Can a developer (or any other experienced Roblox player, particularly one that knows the UI in and out) please answer these questions to the best of his/her ability?
I asked this in the OBC cast, specifically about editing the UI inside CoreGui. I'm not sure what security reasons could be preventing this, however. They did reply - the answer was, "Well, we definitely don't want you moving the little help icon, or the exit button."
I got the feeling the general reason is because users would become confused if everything was misplaced. For example, if you went into a website where you could play several games all made by that company (like ROBLOX), would you expect the exit or help buttons to me placed differently in every game?
They did say we will be able to change the colours.
Hope this clears things up.
Some GUI objects like the report abuse button we don't want users to have the ability to be able to remove. Another sensitive area is the chat window. If it was completely scriptable, you could write a script to make it look like another user was saying something that he wasn't. This is not really desirable.
HttpGet is currently a privileged function for two main reasons:
It would allow users to get dynamic content into levels, which would make moderation a more difficult task.
Poorly or maliciously written scripts could HttpGet roblox.com in an infinite loop, sapping our server resources.
There was no obvious benefit, but some obvious downsides. We prefer to solve only the problems that need to be solved in order to ship features, so we err on the side of caution for things like this. If we later decide to open up new functionality, like making the ROBLOX social graph available through an API, we can do that with a dedicated interface that limits the number of requests you can make to the website in a given period, and only return the info that we are sure we want you to be able to get.
It's interesting to note that for a very long time Adobe Flash player didn't support TCP sockets for the same reason.
I am not sure this is possible, I've certainly never tried doing this before but I have a customer who wants to be able to know where someone came from when they visited the site. Was it from google, bing, a link from another website, etc. More importantly as well they want to know if the visit is a product of normal SSO or if it was a paid add like adwords?
I would appreciate anyone's thoughts on this and if it's possible?
Many thanks
Why not use something like google analytics. It should tell you pretty much all that information.
I have built a little Web UI for Pidgin(respectively all libpurple based messengers) together with DBus and Sinatra.
It was for fun and learning purposes and now I'm looking for ideas to extend it.
Can you think of any useful applications or extensions for it?
Since I work on this project to learn something new, ideas for other technologies to be used/combined are welcome.
Finally here is the link: pidgin-web-ui
I few things that that might use to many many people would be:
good and simple to configure https support, so that users in "monitored" countries to be able to still chat freely (if the server is somewhere else).
Unified Message Archive . Many IM clients have various archive functions, but are different, limited, hard to search, and many are "client only", so not accessible when one needs them the most. Since Pidgin can connect to so many IM networks, it would be cool to have such a "global message hub archive". This would ensure that everything the user is talking is archived (very useful for businesses too), easy to search, available on a server (so always at hand).
File Archive on the server. The same as the Unified Message Archive, but for the files/images users exchange. Having them on the server (with a hash for easy sync) as a backup and archive would greatly reduce the traffic if they need to be shared more than once.
The would be many more nice features, that would help many users, but the above 3 seem to miss from usual IM software.
My idea after a brainstorming minute:
Dropbot
Create a messaging account anywhere and add this account as a contact to your messenger. This contact is your Dropbot.
Change your interpreter UI so it does not display a conversation but a log. In this way you can just drop things to the contact like interesting links. There could be a Dropbot for a read later queue, your favorite citations or for a list of funny findings.
You could then extend your UI to a little mashup. It could follow the links and grap the title of the page and a content preview just as Facebook does it when posting a link to your wall.
You could further extend your app by adding post-drop behavior to the Dropbot.
Dropbot could post your link (probably with a message) on Twitter or Facebook.
Dropbot could automatically distribute the link to the other contacts of it (like your friends)
Ok, that sounds fine... but you could do that without a message bot inbetween. What's the deal?
For me the advantage would be that my IM is always open and it would be fairly easy to drop a link. You could do the link dropping with Delicious or post stuff to a Google Wave, yeah. But I don't like to go to a web page, log in and organize stuff in the UI. Actually I stumble upon those links when I should do more important stuff instead. So just dropping it to my IM Dropbot contact would be cool.
Why not extend it to cover all the basic features of instant messaging (sending/receiving messages, adding contacts, etc...)? Seeing how many features you can reproduce may be a fun exercise. Create your own little Meebo...
Want to have fun?
Make a Markov-chained-based chatbot integrated into the web app. Make it use scraped web search results for the content, after searching for terms parsed out of the human's responses. That should be fun, and will give you funny, and sometimes eerily smart-looking results. Have fun!
I have seen your code. Why not split dbus_thread into a event_machine daemon for further scalability?
Integrate it with Twitter. Trace conversations (#Replies), including multi-party involvement. Log them. And so on.
Many interesting features and a popular, original API to learn.
