Today we'd like to share with the web community information about SPDY, pronounced "SPeeDY", an early-stage research project that is part of our effort to make the web faster. SPDY is at its core an application-layer protocol for transporting content over the web. It is designed specifically for minimizing latency through features such as multiplexed streams, request prioritization and HTTP header compression.

Decapod is a project focused on building a low-cost digitization solution that will allow for rare materials, materials held in collections without large budgets, and other scholarly content to be digitized into a high-quality PDF format. This project will work to incorporate the hardware and software necessary to accomplish this goal.

from book binding to dust jacket full of advertisements, there is now for paper books the decorative item. In Japan, all bookshop clerks will propose a book cover once you bought one. Indeed, in the train, café, subways, you will never know what people are reading.

The last evolution of the advertisement on books is advertisement in books with patents by Amazon for in content ads on the kindle.

With such a large amount of content, searchability was essential. For this we built a custom technology stack based on Solr, Lucene and Haystack. Then, to keep all the previous links pointing in the right direction, we created a customizable scheme of Django regular expressions and Apache mod_rewrites.

The day of reckoning has arrived in the Valley. Online content pirating, increased competition, a flooded market, the economic crisis, and a series of federal obscenity indictments have completely transformed the business of making adult movies. Consumers are no longer interested in paying for what they can get online for free. Across the board, those I spoke to reported profits have fallen by an estimated 30 to 50 percent.

As updates and content flow in real time around the Web, conversations around the content are becoming increasingly fragmented into individual silos. Salmon aims to define a standard protocol for comments and annotations to swim upstream to original update sources -- and spawn more commentary in a virtuous cycle. It's open, decentralized, abuse resistant, and user centric.

It occurred to me that Wikipedia could be the basis of an all-purpose machine tag format to describe just about anything in the universe. Wikipedia aspires to have topics on everything, so creating tags associated with Wikipedia topics could be a foolproof way to disambiguate content.

In a plain HTTP interaction, the Content-type and Accept headers carry information about the type of the data being transmitted and accepted, respectively. You’ve seen these media types in numerous examples, e.g. a typical request or response might have a Content-type header with the value application/xml.

When searching for something on the web we’ve all had the experience of clicking on a link in a search engine’s results page only to find that the page no longer exists. If there’s no information on that page other than a default error message, the most likely course of action on the user’s part is to press the back button and try the next search result.

As site authors we can make our error pages more meaningful to our users, so that an error becomes an opportunity to bring the user back into a site and show them content that’s relevant to what they’re looking for. In this article I’ll show you how to do just that.

This is surprisingly easy, but there is a dependency. You need information. You need to understand what you are trying to achieve, what users of the service need and know, and you need to know the content well. If you don’t have these things, it will be hard. But if you do have them, pulling them together into a first draft is surprisingly easy.

n the same vein, our goal is to capture the world’s geography as it is used by the world’s people.

Orthogonal to these strategies, which revolve around the nature and scale of content being created, there are those sites with look to aggregation methods across a variety of data types (from weblog feeds to traffic news streams). In addition, there are various services and technologies which can enhance the data and provide some plugin style publishing components (e.g. maps with events pinned on them) for hyperlocal sites to leverage.
