Lessons learned launching a web service

<span class="byline-author">Posted by Nelson Minar, Software Engineer</span><br /><br />Seven weeks ago we launched the <a href="http://www.google.com/googleblog/2005/01/adwords-code-it-your-way.html">AdWords API</a>, and since then had the chance to reflect on what we learned creating a new web service. I just gave a <a href="http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/et2005/view/e_sess/5994">talk</a> at the O'Reilly Emerging Technologies conference about it, and here are the <a href="http://buzz.blogger.com/media/minar-etech-2005.ppt">slides</a>. Some of the (admittedly geeky) highlights: the value of document/literal style SOAP, a description of the real-world problems in building interoperable web services, and my opinion on when to use SOAP vs ReST. Despite the geek factor, perhaps it's useful for people building web services and developers using Google's <a href="http://api.google.com/">own</a> <a href="http://www.google.com/apis/adwords/">services</a>.

Google goes X

<span class="byline-author">Posted by Chikai Ohazama, Software Engineer</span><br /><br />Today is an amazing day: A small idea - a fun late-night coding jaunt to help me learn Javascript & DHTML - has just launched on Google Labs. I never expected it to make it as far as it has when I wrote it a month ago, especially since my "real" job is working on Keyhole, where I'm having the time of my life taking our cool 3D mapping application and putting the power of Google behind it. It's fulfilling to have the opportunity to reach the audience we always dreamed of when we started Keyhole five years ago, and that by itself is absolute coolness.<br /><br />And now there's <a href="http://labs.google.com/googlex/">Google X</a>, which came about because I wanted a quick fun way to access all of Google's services. I gave it to a few friends in the company, who gave it to their friends, some posted it on their blogs, others sent it around on mailing lists, and it eventually made its way to Marissa Mayer, who liked it enough to say, when do you want to put it up on Labs? So after some spit and polish from some enthusiastic Googlers and the keen eye of the UI team, Google X is here. I hope all of you enjoy it - especially Mac users, who I'm sure will appreciate its lineage.

Drilling down shows up

<span class="byline-author">Posted by Shuman Ghosemajumder, Product Manager, Ad Links</span><br /><br />Starting today, you're going to see a new AdSense ad format (we're keeping the "old" ones too) for content ads on websites, called AdSense Ad Links. These smaller-than-usual formats use a bit of shorthand to link to several categories of ads, rather than display the ads themselves.<br /><br /><img alt="adlinks.jpg" src="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/media/adlinks.jpg" /><br /><br />Ad Links are automatically matched to web page contents using AdSense technology. Our thinking is that Ad Links are useful for web publishers (who get a more flexible way to incorporate more advertising into their sites); advertisers (who get more inventory); and users (who get more relevant ads to choose from). All told, there's a greater chance you'll find precisely what you're most interested in.
