The Google Ajax API playground (http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?exp=maps#map_markers) provides a nice exemple to add random markers to any map: function initialize() { if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) { var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas")); map.setCenter(new GLatLng(37.4419, -122.1419), 9); /...
I'm using Janrain's PHP-OpenID 2.1.3, and I've managed to get it working with all the providers I have tried except for Google and Yahoo. The major difference here seems to be that Google and Yahoo, unlike most other providers, don't use a user-specific URL, but rather have the user discovery framework all on their end - which throws the...

Boy, there's a lot of hype about the release of Google's Fusion Tables. The collaborative editing is something that seems fantastic, and might interface well with Google Wave. The visualization seems to shine mostly in it's ease of use. Aggregation over multiple disparate data sources is also just a really great and timely idea. Stil...
I'm trying to use the Google Analytics Data API to get data filtered by country. I am using the .NET library at http://google-gdata.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ which works beautifully as long as I don't try to filter by country. This works fine: const string dataFeedUrl = "https://www.google.com/analytics/feeds/data"; var query = new D...
Hi, I'm considering putting the Google Analytics tracker on my blog to get better stats (right now I use Summary.net, which is fast but occasionally of questionable accuracy, though way better than awstats).

It should be possible to use the APIs for ...
