An Indian company, tired of the unceasing attacks of an anonymous blogger, decided to file a lawsuit against him, as Blog Wired, citing a Wall Street Journal article, reports. But Gremach Infrastructure Equipments & Projects encounters a problem. The company cannot find out the identity of the blogger who made a habit out of denigrating it.
The cyber attacks over the company may have been conducted by a former employee or someone who was not satisfied with the services of the Indian firm. Since it doesn’t want to lose time trying to discover who the man is, the company claims that Google should provide it with this information because the man is a user of Google’s blog client, Blogger. “Toxic Writer”, as the blogger identifies himself, should be protected, according to privacy policies, against the disclosure of any of his personal information given to Google the moment he subscribed.

Bloggers are constantly looking to attract more readers. Of course, content is almost always everything, but spicing up texts or images with some interesting gadgets can definitely increase the popularity of the majority of weblogs. After a testing period, Google has finally launched the Google Gadgets for blogs.

People can choose whatever application they like from the Gadgets Directory, integrated in the layout of blogs. Users who have an older version of the dashboard, which displays the “templates” button, have to update it to the “layout” button.

Their height, measured in pixels, can be adjusted to make the applications more or less prominent on the webpage, according to personal preferences. Read the rest of this entry »

“Our nation typically uses only about five percent of one of our most precious resources. Unlike other natural resources, there is no benefit to allowing this spectrum to lie fallow.

Although Google did not prepare its users for the launch of a human translation tool, as of yesterday, people could access the homepage of the new Google Translation Center. One day after its early beta launch and the new application has already failed, probably because Google engineers only wanted to offer a preview of their new interesting product.
The Google Translation Center is basically a translation tool, but what it makes it special is that translations are provided by humans, instead of programs. People who want to have their texts translated into one of the 40 languages have to upload them and wait for the documents to be taken off their hands by professional or volunteer users.

Did you ever get into Second Life? Basically, you could consider it a game, but for a lot of people, it’s more than just that. As an example, it’s enough to say that, a few months ago, I read an article about a real world company involved in the real estate business… in Second Life! So, we have real estate brokers arriving at the office, starting the computer, getting into Second Life, and then doing what one real estate broker usually does - selling properties, virtual ones, to be more precise, and earning money, but real money, this time. Now, you are probably wondering what’s the link between all this and Hitsgarden, aren’t you? I’ll get to it right away…
My friends, it’s all about Google! No, it’s not about Google Docs, Google Mail, Blogger or another service/application currently developed by the Californian IT giant that we are all familiar with. For now, this is still a pet in Google’s backyard, but they have decided to show it to the world, although they claim this is only 20 percent done, for now. What is it? Google Lively, of course!
