A few months ago, Google reported that it would be adding alerts on suspicious activity in the accounts of users. And for suspicious activity relating to unusual patterns in the sessions: if a person logs on to Madrid, and in half an hour from Los Angeles does, surely there is something to be suspicious. Are those situations that cause the above warning. This only happened when working in the environment of GMail, because it is currently the most used services. Due to the good results obtained from this practice, Google has incorporated this alarm system in more pages, now in the homepage of the Dashboard (board) where they are shortcuts to the links on Google, you can see notifications this style.

It seems that it is a new layer of protection for users, which may expand to other services later. Until that comes, now there are two places where we can check for suspicious activity in the accounts. Congratulations to Google for this initiative.

We woke up today with new news for those who use the Google online office suite, Google Docs is that many users use their handsets to work from it and Google could not let the opportunity to launch a document viewer without the need for download any of them and occupy memory.

So, Google Docs Viewer is available to users with terminals Android, iPhone and IPAD, provided that they brought into the address bar of your browser the following address: docs.google.com

It would also be more than the company began to think of an online publisher of the documents that we store on our account, because with the trend that we have lately in the market with enough terminals and possible Oversized Tablets that appear on the market, would all a point in favor of Big Brother on the network.

If anyone could make a web store applications in conditions, that is Google and we were not disappointed. At the Google I / O that takes place during these two days, we introduced the Chrome Web Store, an application store, destined to be one of the most important features when it appears on the scene Chrome OS operating system.

And is that the user from their browser will have all sorts of web-based applications simply getting from the Chrome Web Store both free programs and after logearnos payment to our account in any modern browser that uses modern technology, not only Chrome all versions, we get a pesteña the same which gives you all the apps downloaded as you can see in the picture accompanying this post.

The Chrome Web Store will be available to users and to developers before the end of the year, taking the last access before the general public and there will be hanging up their own applications.

Very interesting movement on the part of California, where not only will win more converts to Chrome, but Chrome OS is gradually taking shape and as we have said, is a fundamental part of its dedicated operating system in the cloud.

Kevin Lynch, chief technology officer (CTO) of Adobe, said publicly that he presented at the Google I / O (an important event that will take place in May) a trial version of Flash Player 10.1 Android compatible with 2.1.

In the event many developers will attend, so the idea is that they see the product and encourage them to create software using this technology for mid-June and users can enjoy Flash 10.1 on their Android phones.

Other manufacturers, and companies like RIM, Palm, Microsoft and Nokia, have already confirmed their inclusion of Flash on their platform, but it seems that Google has given people a hand to get the Android version faster.

Although Barcelona, Google showed this feature, which could only translate texts from German, is far from the Android Market when we have the latest service updates Google Goggles, which from a photograph taken with our terminal with operating system and application installed, we can get enough information.

But in this presentation and update, Google has sought to provide Goggles capacity to translate texts from a photograph. The example I have found very successful. You never have traveled and have had to ask a waiter what the hell was what it said or what was that dish?

Surely, after the response, you may have been sweet pulp thinking "if I knew the translation would these things." Well that's exactly what Google Goggles is concerned, take a picture of a text and translation will be simultaneous from your terminal. Yes, Goggles does not recognize any language, although we assume that will increase with the updates. Currently you can read Spanish, English, German, Italian and French and can translate a few more.

From time to time leave some tips or advice on SEO, and some are good but the truth is that almost always the same. Fortunately there are many sources of information which can provide information relevant and useful enough. In SEOptimise has published a list of 30 factors or tips on search engine optimization (SEO) that bloggers should take into account when optimizing their content. Many of these tips are trivial and known by those who have an average level of knowledge about SEO, but that does not diminish the value of the item. For example:

• Only the first link account. If you link to one URL several times in a document, it appears that the first link is the one with more weight.
• nofollow links if they are important but have less weight. Many people's worst despise the truth is that a nofollow link is useful, but obviously it is less than a dofollow link. It is recommended to link to articles to increase the amount of incoming links.

And so we go through the whole list, if it is not an encyclopedia or a secret source of knowledge is a good collection of practices to consider when we try to please most search engines.

There continue to be more details on the attacks on Google in China, this time are more specific and relate to the safety of all users of Google services. Here is a brief account of the facts:

• Chinese Hackers attempt an attack on Google.
• Noticing this, the Mountain View company ceases to censor their search results.
• Start the bickering. The Chinese government warned Google to comply with its rules and if he leaves.
• Representing U.S. interests outside the White House position on the facts.
• The Chinese government denies any connection with the attacks.
• It is found that the Asian nation's government is lying. They start out the first names.
• As highlighted, the Beijing government promises to punish those responsible.
• The tension grows and Google takes a defiant stance predicting his departure from the Chinese market.

It has been much criticism of Google for defending their interests in such a way, but to learn more about the role of attack, we note that no wonder. Now comes to light that the real objective of the hackers was not simply attacking dissent, the jackpot was violating the Google login system called Gaia and serves as identification for many sites such as GMail.The problem is that there are Google services for which people pay, which means that billing information (credit cards, bank accounts) could be exposed and used in ways harmful to users. The sensitive data here is that the attack was possible to obtain the source code for Gaia with which the security of our data is in doubt.

Although until now nothing has happened relevant to this situation, we should not be so trusting. Google does not officially pronounce, so it is speculated that there is already a backup plan to ensure the protection of user data. In any way change the password regularly is not a bad idea, whether or not hackers.

The searches are the main strength of Google and Twitter is one area where searches can do more, so the California launch new services, in pilot phase at the moment called Follow Finder.

You know that on Fridays many Twitter users do the Follow Friday or # FF, where each user recommend to others so that their followers Follower or take note of who could follow, but if this method does not convince you, is when Follow Finder enters into game.

Simply enter your username, no password, and will show two columns with different results. The first one shows you the potential user to which you would like to Follow, while in the next column you must for users who have a likeness as the followers of their disposal.

Which was impossible is to continue the new user through the service, I get an error, though you can always sign up your name and complete the Follow the traditional way.

Some enthusiasts have managed to carry a version of Chromium 32-bits made for Debian, the project behind Google's browser. Unlike other projects where only part of the project portal, this is the full version of the browser, as it is available for computers, thus all the advantages that desktop users, owners also have a Nokia N900. The process to install the browser on the phone has been published, and impressively is not very difficult since it only requires a few commands executed from a terminal. These are the steps required:

• Download the needed packages and put them in the root of the N900.
• In the console, type root and press enter.
• Type cd / home / user / MyDocs / dpkg-i file-name-descargado.deb
• Run dpkg-i file-name-descargado.deb
With that technically it is sufficient to have a full version of Chromium on the N900, with support for various plugins (Flash course included). I wish there were benchmarks (performance tests) to see if it is usable or is it just to have it as an experiment.

Apparently Google is not running as to remove Google Voice concerns and also the service, where users gather all the phone numbers and can receive voice messages as if it were an email.

So it's best to compete in the IP telephony world, what better way to begin to develop a desktop application or Desktop, where the user can recir, send calls from both the network and from mobile phones or fixed lines, as we have the majority in our house.

For now, Google has not confirmed anything, but from TechCrunch and "half confirmed" and that they would begin testing the application internally very shortly.

Google is unstoppable in terms of shopping, and more and more companies added to its portfolio of acquired entities. This occasion has purchased a video platform called Episodic, who had a role in providing tools for those in the field of broadcasting and transmission of events in high definition (HD), such as sporting events. Besides offering a platform for on-demand videos, Episodic offered its customers a sort of Google Analytics on each video, to record the user activity. The number of observers, the time spent watching video, place of origin, connection speed, geographic location, etc..

In conjunction with the statistics module, Episodic made available to users, a system of monetization of content, through advertisements in the videos (such as in YouTube). Given these characteristics, it is logical to assume that the backend of Episodic YouTube will reinforce in many tasks where the site is weak.

No details were specified on the transaction (do not know what was the final purchase price), but it is clear that Google is going around in terms of Internet videos.

Now that Twitter is available not only in English, are doing many positive things for internationalizing the service as possible, given the enormous volume of users from around the world. It would not be surprising that the staff is preparing Twitter developments regarding the ability to view content in one language or another.

A basic feature would be for example, tweets automatically translate to the language preferred by each user, would like to incorporate a translation service perfectly camouflaged in the Twitter interface.In fact since this can be achieved, although it is by no means official. Using some Greasemonkey scripts can make twitts automatically translate, but it is always better to have an inhouse solution (developed by the same developers of Twitter) for reasons of performance, interoperability and efficiency of course.

All this comes in the wake of a screen shot of Mark Hachman, AppScout editor who realized that there is a link in the sidebar to translate Tweets. For now you can only translate from any language into English, and the service is provided by Google.

Although at least this change, I think it is an interesting addition but especially useful, especially for those who follow people of different nationalities. Let's see if more news comes about Twitter and the use of language in the information.

Theft of mail accounts are quite common and the truth is that even if we find someone outside us is swarming our domains.

Google for its part is trying to increasingly less the accounts that are stolen and if it already had a section where we could see the activity of our own in recent sessions, whether by phone or a computer, now it will alert differently and more graphically, without you to be the need to go to the location of the tool.

From now on, Google will notify you with a message highlighted in the header of your account, where he also will inform you what part of the world are accessing. This function can be enabled or not, because the tool is that if you enter the account from a geographic area far from the usual, so if you're traveling, it is normal to skip the ad.

Google knows that a meeting between people is not so easy. Everyone squarely facing its agenda and timetable should not be holy devotion of everyone, so new tool to all users of Google Calendar called Smart Rescheduled.

With this tool you can find on Google Labs, the organization of your meetings will be much easier and that is through search algorithms used by the company, in which field are specialists, the tool will find more favorable time slots to perform events.

Once you activate it and want to go to rearrange a meeting Rescheduled Smart will give different options to choose without you, you're the person in charge of the agenda of the assistants, the head have to getting motion sickness, of course, that these agendas will be shared with Google Calendar to be carried out.

Might not work as you thought, but you can always try and draw your conclusions to continue to use or not to continue wasting time and continue with the traditional method.

Although this service was available in its English version, Google has wanted to expand it to other domains of your property, so if you're a person who is quite influential in the network with your Twitter messages or conversations you have on Facebook, is likely to leave in search results of others.

Although for all of them, you must have a profile for free and unrestricted appear on the Google search engine. But here is not everything, but against more followers can be provided more relevant results, although the contents, as Dylan Casey, head of the department of real-time search will also be taken into account in the algorithm used.

The facility should be operational from midnight of the same March 19, so we will leave a box with real time results with the talks dealing with issues that interest us.
