A day on Social Web and OpenSocial with google

On Oct 17th, google hosted a seminar on Social Web and Opensocial api's. The Le' Meridian environment and quality of seminar was satisfactory. The Seminar was invite only.
It started with introductory note on social web and need of opensocial by Rajdeep Dua. The comes the next seminar much awaited "differences between 0.7 and 0.8 apis" by Anash Oommen. A very decent presentation by Anash.
With a small tea break a presentation on "shindig Architecture" by Rajdeep Dua who tried to make it a very complex topic as much as he can. This followed by a more complex presentation on "OpenSocial Compliance" ( God knows whether topic was complex or presentation :) ).
Then comes the lunch session but which was quite decent :). Immediately after lunch session Code Lab started ( I hate after lunch classes :( ) and team tried it best to make as complex as it can. It was a fail for me as my shindig php version was too adamant to run at all. I will dig it more as already got few interesting ideas in my mind.
In the end there were two presentation by google partners ( partners ? ). First one was by Impetus Technologies and was fair enough. Second one was by Satyam and the performance and content was dangerously below average. It was interesting experience for me ( for most of the others it was just another networking opportunity :) ). But overall I will wait for next google event.

Google API has a BUG

Recently i was checking Google federated login API implementation with Zoho. While using Google login facility with Zoho I encountered a BIG error. I logged in to Zoho with "Sign in using Google" facility. After using it when i logged out of Zoho, I found that i was still logged in in my Google account. Looks like this api has logged me in my Google account also in the background. This is a BIG bug in a country like India where maximum internet users use public places for internet access.

An Indian startup company

In an old essay Paul grahm has written three basic requirements for a successful startup. 1-to start with good people 2- to make something customers actually want 3- to spend as little money as possible. Lets analyse these three points in Indian context. Very first point is a problem in India. Who is good people ? If you want a real good software engineer then you have only one option in India is to hire peoplw from IIT's. But seeing salary centric work culture it will be a huge pressure on small pocket of a startup. So what is the alternative ? this the point where most the startup fail in India. They go for intermediate level of programmers ( 1-2 year exp) came out from horrable knowledge mines ( read new breed of engineering collages). Solution - Go for freshers and harnesh their infinte capacity to work on your dream project. The second point is well known fact whether you are starting a comapny or your PHD. You need to know which existing problem you are going to solve and how...

10% Innovation

I am really impressed by google's 20% innovation strategy. It gives space to an individual programmer to innovate and show his skills in his area or topic of choice. I will highly reccomend to new startup to adopt 10% innovation strategy. This will give startup a good amount of time to work on their project and simultanously give programmer also a fair amount of time to work for their choice of topic. Always remember that if google wouldn't have adopted this then they couldn't have develope adsense, google suggest and orkut like products. These products require efforts similar a full company product.
