Internet Archive
These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to. That way, as the pages that are referenced are changed or taken from the web, a link to the version that was live when the page was written will be preserved.
Then the Internet Archive hopes that references to these archived pages will be put in place of a link that would be otherwise be broken, or a companion link to allow people to see what was originally intended by a page's authors.
The goal is to
fix all broken links on the web .

As you may have heard, we've released our IM/Voip system Google Talk into beta. Talk uses XMPP for its communications protocol, and the team has a document outlining how to use a standard Jabber client to communicate with Google Talk. This makes for a very nice programmatic interface for IM. There are interfaces in multiple languages, including Python , PHP , Java and C# , and the Jabber Software Foundation maintains a healthy list of libraries on their site. We hope you enjoy our developer-friendly Google Talk.
The Adwords team has released a new way to interface with their APIs via PHP. Previously, our client libraries were available in only Java, so we wanted to make it easier for those developers who prefer PHP. You can check out the APIlity code on SourceForge.

For instance, if you are a chess fiend, you could subscribe to all the chess related news with http://news.google.com/news?q=chess&output=rss . Alternatively, if checkers is more your style, then you could use http://news.google.com/news?q=checkers&output=atom as the feed. Both RSS 2.0 and Atom 0.3 are supported, so you shouldn't have any trouble consuming these feeds.entertainment , sports , or technology ) are also available. Read more about it and let us know what you think.

I traded some email with the Maps team and I saw something in a link they sent me that I wasn't familiar with. To best explain this, first load this map from Berkeley to Google in a separate browser window. Note in the "End Address" section, the Google . Now load this map of Sydney and note the label inside the callout. maps API . As you can see, you can arbitrary labels to your links like this chocolate shop or this restaurant . Have fun!
