Dear Google user,

We're getting rid of over 60 different privacy policies across Google and replacing them with one that's a lot shorter and easier to read. Our new policy covers multiple products and features, reflecting our desire to create one beautifully simple and intuitive experience across Google.

We believe this stuff matters, so please take a few minutes to read our updated Privacy Policy and Terms of Service at http://www.google.com/policies. These changes will take effect on March 1, 2012.


One policy, one Google experience
Easy to work across Google Tailored for you Easy to share and collaborate
Easy to work across Google

Our new policy reflects a single product experience that does what you need, when you want it to. Whether you're reading an email that reminds you to schedule a family get-together or finding a favorite video that you want to share, we want to ensure you can move across Gmail, Calendar, Search, YouTube, or whatever your life calls for with ease.

Tailored for you

If you're signed into Google, we can do things like suggest search queries – or tailor your search results – based on the interests you've expressed in Google+, Gmail, and YouTube. We'll better understand which version of Pink or Jaguar you're searching for and get you those results faster.

Easy to share and collaborate

When you post or create a document online, you often want others to see and contribute. By remembering the contact information of the people you want to share with, we make it easy for you to share in any Google product or service with minimal clicks and errors.


Protecting your privacy hasn't changed

Our goal is to provide you with as much transparency and choice as possible, through products like Google Dashboard and Ads Preferences Manager, alongside other tools. Our privacy principles remain unchanged. And we'll never sell your personal information or share it without your permission (other than rare circumstances like valid legal requests).

Got questions?
We've got answers.

Visit our FAQ at http://www.google.com/policies/faq to read more about the changes. (We figured our users might have a question or twenty-two.)


Notice of Change

March 1, 2012 is when the new Privacy Policy and Terms will come into effect. If you choose to keep using Google once the change occurs, you will be doing so under the new Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Please do not reply to this email. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered. Also, never enter your Google Account password after following a link in an email or chat to an untrusted site. Instead, go directly to the site, such as mail.google.com or www.google.com/accounts. Google will never email you to ask for your password or other sensitive information.

    TwitVid.io Adds Media Context to your Twitter Stream
    May 27, 2009 at 12:37 pm


    picture-7TwitVid.io is the latest site to launch a tool that adds media context to your Twitter stream. What TwitVid.io does is allow you to upload a video and share the link through Twitter. Similar to its photo-centric counterparts such as TwitPic, the Fliggo-powered TwitVid.eo works by uploading video content directly from your computer and enabling you to share your uploaded content via links spread through Twitter.

    As a blogger, there are two different ways in which you can take advantage of a site such as TwitVid.eo: add another layer of media to your text-based tweets, and build your brand by driving content to more rich, video content.

    If you’re looking to shake things up on your typically textual Twitter updates, sharing links that lead to photos and videos are great ways to go. Since Twitter itself doesn’t offer direct media uploads, we have to rely on third party sites which are integrated with Twitter’s platform in order to incorporate multimedia content.

    Why is this beneficial for you? It adds more interesting content to your Twitter stream, and makes you look more involved in the social media scene. As a blogger, it’s important that you share content to other sites you find interesting, as well as semi-personal information about yourself to appear less spammy. The more personable you are, the less likely readers are to think you’re only using Twitter to sell a brand, product or service. Even if you are using Twitter for one of these purposes, engaging users within a community such as Twitter means you’ll have to attempt to be genuine. Personal video content is one way in which to do this.

    While the genuine and personal touch can be rather necessary for Twitter branding, you can also use Twitter updates as easy ways to share links and drive traffic to sites where you can further elaborate on your brand, service or product. Upload a video demo, a welcome greeting or an interview you’ve done for your blog, and share it through TwitVid.io. This can be used for direct messages, your public Twitter stream, and replies to other Twitter users. Create a repository of video content that you’d like to reserve specifically for Twitter use, and take advantage of it for promoting your own brand.

    There’s not yet any direct mobile integration for TwitVid.io, though emailing in video content from your phone to TwitVid.io does offer some on-the-go capabilities. And unlike similar services such as 12seconds, TwitVid.io is pretty reliant on the Twitter service itself. In this regard, mobile applications would vastly help TwitVid.io’s current feature set, and make video-blogging via Twitter that much easier for users on the go.

    Serving post ratings in your blog
    May 27, 2009 at 10:00 am


    Certain uses for WordPress, such as a showcase or gallery site might call for a user rating system. You may also want to implement one in your blog just to see how you improve over time and how it affects your user’s experience.

    A popular plugin for serving up star ratings to your visitors is WP-Post Ratings. Its easy to display the rating form with a function, and you can customize the rating images in a variety of colours and styles. Also, WP-Ratings allows you to filter the ratings by different groups like by author, category, month, or year. This would typically be the first plugin you would find searching through WP.org for any sort of rating system, but dig a little deeper and you might unearth some of these useful gems.

    Vote the post - This is a simple plugin that doesn’t nag at you with a lot of options. It offers a simple, user-friendly rating system with votes like "Below Average", "Needs Work" ,"Average", "Very Good" and "Excellent".

    Post Star Rating - This plugin installs quick and easy. It shows the highest rated posted for the month. It also lists the most popular posts at the moment and moves them up and down the list in realtime.

    Star Rating for Reviews -

    6 Tips to Avoid Blog Abandonment
    May 26, 2009 at 6:19 pm


    technorati-logo

    A recent survey by Technorati found that, of the 133 million blogs they had tracked since 2002, only 7.5 million had been updated within the past four months and, of those, only 1.5 million had been updated within the past 7 days.

    This means that, of all the blogs Technorati has tracked, only 5.6% are active, even within the last four months, and only 1.1% are active within the past week.

    In short, the vast majority of blogs are abandoned.

    Blog abandonment can happen for many reasons. Some people have shifts in their personal life that prevent them from finding the time (why I had to abandon my personal blog), others lose interest in their topic, others suffer some form of catastrophic failure while some just move on to something else.

    However, if you want your blog to be around for a few years to come, here are some suggestions to make sure you won’t abandon your blog once the going gets rough.

    6. Get Paid Hosting

    Though there are many wonderful blogs that are hosted on free services such as WordPress.com and Blogspot and many that have been around for a long time, it is still much easier to walk away from something you haven’t invested in.

    If you are serious about blogging, you should look at getting your own domain and your own paid Web host. It only costs a few dollars per month for most bloggers and not only adds a great deal of professionalism to your site, but helps you stay focused.

    Besides, when you have your own domain, you can make the site more personal to you, which makes you both more personally and financially invested in your site.

    5. Blog in Private

    Before starting a new blog, especially if you intend to make it a business of some variety, try blogging in private for a while. This has two functions:

    1. Ensures Passion: It ensures that you have enough passion in your topic to survive the first few months, when traffic is likely to be almost non-existant.
    2. Lays the Groundwork: This also works to have a stockpile of articles ready and live when your site goes online. This gives the search engines something to go through and new readers reason to stick around.

    How many posts you you want before you go live will depend on your planned blogging. Typically though, you’ll want at least a month’s worth of posts live, more if you are posting infrequently. Just make sure you have enough to ensure your site looks “open” when you actually let the rest of the world in.

    4. Blog on a Schedule

    Here’s a tip that every blogger should know, put your posts up on a schedule. It doesn’t matter if your posts are daily, weekly or something in between, having your posts go up in a timely manner makes it easier for your readers to follow along and for you to keep writing. It becomes a part of your routine.

    How often should you write? At least weekly is best, but one of the best solutions is to figure out how many posts you can do per day/week and then schedule to do only half that. This allots you time for email, research, redesigns and other blog-related projects.

    If you find you can write more posts, you can speed up the schedule later. It is much easier to add more posts per week than to scale back.

    3. Forward Post When Possible

    Most people have to be in a mood to write. As such, it’s a good idea to work with those moods. When you feel like writing, write a lot and forward post it to your site. Not only does this help you make the most of your inspiration, but it also ensures your site will be active even if you don’t want or can’t write.

    This helps you avoid missing a post, even when a more serious personal need arises, and it makes it easier to get back into writing for your site when you return. Many find that, once their schedule has been thrown off, it is very difficult to get back on it.

    2. Read Up on Your Topic

    Writer’s block is the enemy of every writer on a deadline and doubly so for every blogger. Staying on top of your area of interest will help you keep writer’s block to a minimum by feeding you a stream of new ideas.

    Subscribe to blogs on a similar subject, subscribe to Technorati Watchlists, Google Blog Search feeds and even Twitter search feeds for your relevant keywords. Read what others are saying and then respond.

    This isn’t to say that you should always respond or echo what others are saying, but being part of the conversation means listening. Not only can find news to report on and conversations to join in on, but you can often get great ideas for truly revolutionary stories.

    1. Take a Break

    For many, burnout is the enemy of blogging. If you feel yourself getting too stressed out about it, take a break from it for a while. If you forward post your articles, your readers may not even know the difference.

    Take a weekend away to clear your mind, being sure to leave your laptop behind, and step away from the Web. You have to make sure that blogging is in balance with the rest of your life. If you spend too much time blogging or doing blogging-related activities, you’re going to have to quit to preserve your sanity.

    Treat yourself well and don’t let your blog overrun your life. That may be the most important tip to keeping your blog around for the long haul.

    Bottom Line

    Even if you follow all of these tips, the odds are still stacked against you and your blog. Most blogs close within a few months of opening,

    Still, if you take these suggestions, you can at least improve your chances of having a long-running blog and enjoying the audience, personal satisfaction and, possibly, money that comes with it.

    Make no mistake, blogging is a lot of work, but if you enjoy it and you make it a routine part of your life, it doesn’t have to feel like a job.

    The End of Subject/Verb Agreement: The Final Rules
    May 26, 2009 at 3:17 pm


    Today we’re going to finish up our series in Subject/Verb agreement.  Aren’t you glad?  Did anyone remember how many rules there were between subject and verb agreement or had you forgotten like me?

    Many of our words in the English language are singular nouns but they have a plural form.  Words like civics, gymnastics, mathematics, mumps, and social studies are singular because they refer to a single thing even though the spelling suggests they are plural by having an -s on the end.

    When we have words like this we should use a singular verb for subjects that seem plural in form but are actually singular in meaning.

    Measles is a very contagious disease.
    The evening news is on every night at 10:00.

    There are also other groups of words that are plural as their form suggests and another group of words that can be singular or plural.

    Plural: data, eyeglasses, media, scissors, slacks, barracks, pants.

    Singular/Plural: acoustics, headquarters, ethics, politics.

    My eyeglasses were found in the office.
    The headquarters for the CIA is located in Washington.  (This is singular because it represents an administrative office or center.)
    The headquarters were located outside of town. (This is plural because it represents a group of buildings.)

    If you’re referring to a pair of something and use the word “pair” in the sentence, the verb is singular and has to agree with the singular noun pair.

    The scissors are missing. (Plural)
    That pair of scissors is missing. (Singular)

    Doesn’t it make sense to use don’t?  These words are contractions and to check them for agreement with the subject, you should read or say them as the two original words used to make the contraction.  (Does not, do not)

    Some contractions are singular and some are plural. 

    Singular: Doesn’t, hasn’t, isn’t, wasn’t.
    Plural: Don’t, haven’t, aren’t, weren’t.

    The verb part of the contraction has to agree in number with the subject.

    This cold room doesn’t bother me. (Does not)
    These rules don’t make sense. (Do not)

    That boy doesn’t want to play. (Does not)
    Those boys don’t play fair. (Do not)

    Sometimes a subject has a linking verb.  Linking verbs are commonly the forms of be: be, is, am, are, was, can be, could be, has been, had been, etc.

    A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and identifies, renames or explains the subject.  It is considered a subject complement which completes the meaning of the linking verb.  If a subject and its predicate nominative don’t have the same number, the verb still has to agree in number with the subject.

    An important crop in Florida is oranges. (The singular verb is agrees with the singular subject crop even though the predicate nominative is the plural oranges. 1

    If we turn that sentence around to read: Oranges are an important crop in Florida.  The subject is then the plural oranges and the verb should match it and not the singular predicate nominative of crop. 2

    Titles are singular and take singular verbs.

    The Langoliersis a novel by Stephen King.
    Glover’s Cloth Goods is having a fabric sale.
    The Grapes of Wrathis a John Steinbeck novel.

    Who is it which does that? Who, which and that are generally relative pronouns and become the subject of a clause.  An antecedent is the word the pronoun replaces or refers to.  In this case the number of the verb will agree with the pronouns antecedent.

    George caught a fish that was 12 inches long. (The antecedent of the word ‘that’ is ‘fish’.  Since fish is singular in this sentence the verb was is also singular.)
    Find three books that deal with economics. (’Books’ are plural so ‘deal’ must also be plural.)

    This concludes the series of subject and verb agreement.  If all of this has left you confused, don’t feel too bad, it can be a bit complicated.  Just refresh yourself with all these rules on a regular basis and it will eventually seem like second nature.

    WordPress 2.8 - Widgets, Themes and Tags (oh my!)
    May 26, 2009 at 10:00 am


    No software version is ever released on time with every requested feature in place - but WordPress 2.8 is looking to have a ton of new features.  None of these changes have a dramatic impact on the interface, so the transition should be very easy for most administrators.

    WordPress Widgets

    One of the best features of WordPress 2.8 is the update to the widgets section.  The current widget management often involves these steps:  Your theme has two sidebars/widget areas and you want to move your text widget from first to the second sidebar.  First, you remove it from the first sidebar and save changes. Then you select the second sidebar from the drop down menu, click “show" and add the widget to the second sidebar.

    In version 2.8 all your sidebars are now visible at once and you can drag and drop the required widgets into them.  It’s a little bit of time traveling here, as an earlier version of WordPress had the widgets like this and it’s a welcome return!  Plus, as soon as you place the widget into a sidebar, it will automatically show the widget's properties which can then be modified as needed.

    Another new widget feature is that you can have multiple instances of the same plugin.  This long requested feature will allow you to use the widget, most likely with different settings, in different sections of your site.

    WordPress Themes

    The new features in theme management will make theme hunting as easy as plugin hunting.  Essentially everything you can do with plugins you will be able to do with themes.  For example, if you go to Appearance > Add New Themes and you will be able to search for a theme by any keyword you want.  The search will allow you to apply different filters based on colors, columns, width and subject.  Once you find a theme it will also be easier to try out a new theme - no more FTPing!  This will be a huge boon to theme makers as many more users will be willing to try out new themes.

    In WordPress 2.7x when managing themes, you would have to click on a particular theme's image and then activate or discard them from the preview screen.  In version 2.8 all you have to do is click on the activate link and the desired theme gets applied directly without showing you a preview.  Additionally, you can also delete any unwanted themes from the same screen by clicking on the delete link.  Old themes and plugins and like day old fish - best get rid of them before they smell too much!

    WordPress Tags

    In this version of WordPress, Tags finally get equal treatment with categories.  Considering the role that tags play in search this is a valuable addition.  A new sub-section has been added to the Posts section called Post Tags that contains all the tags that you have created for this blog. Similar to categories, you can now change the Tag name, Tag slug and even add a description for your tags (something that Drupal users have been accustomed to).  This feature will be most useful for blogs which have multiple authors where the use of tags can quickly gets out of control with “tag, tagging, taggs, tags, WordPress tags” instead of just “WordPress tags.”

    Many More New Features

    This is just a summary of three areas where there are new features in WordPress 2.8.  There are of course many behind-the-scenes updates for WordPress developers - particularly for widget developers.  If you want to see ALL the new features, check out the official list of new WordPress 2.8 features.  As always, it’s worth updating only after checking to make sure all your plugins have been verified to work in the new version.
