Google's 4Q profit soars on rising online ad sales

 Google Inc. reeled in more Internet advertising during the holiday shopping season and approached $2 billion in quarterly profit for the first time, providing the strongest sign yet that the online search leader has shaken off the recession's doldrums.

4 Countries Clear Hurdle for Non-Latin Web Names

 
  Egypt, Russia, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are the first countries to win preliminary approval for Internet addresses written entirely in their native scripts.

Since their creation in the 1980s, Internet domain names have been limited to the 26 characters in the Latin alphabet used in English, as well as 10 numerals and the hyphen. Technical tricks have been used to allow portions of the Internet address to use other scripts, but until now, the suffix had to use those 37 characters.

Google Releases Open Source Tools

GOOGLE has decided to release as open source several of its key application development tools, hoping that they will prove useful for external programmers to build faster Web applications.

     Google has used the tools in some of its most popular Web applications, including Gmail, and Google Docs,    Google Maps, said Amit Agarwal, a Google product manager. “By enabling and allowing developers to use the very same tools that google uses, we hope that they can not only build rich applications but also make Web really, really fast. That’s our primary motive in getting these tools outside to the global community,” he said.


        The tools include Closure Compiler, which streamlines, optimizes and consolidates Javascript code to make it run faster and more efficiently, the company announced in November.

         Google is also releasing Closure Library, a Javascript library that contains a set of standard application services and components that run across different browsers.

Google Chrome Beta Gets Bookmark Sync

                THE latest beta version of Google’s Chrome Web browser is making it easier for you to keep track of your entire favorite Web sites across multiple computers. The search giant introduced bookmark syncing this week as a feature of Chrome’s latest trial version.

    Once you’ve downloaded the Chrome beta, you can access the new feature by clicking on the wrench icon on the far right side of your browser window. Then select “Synchronize my bookmarks,” and a pop-up window should appear asking you for your Google Account information. Sign in, and Chrome will store your bookmarks in your Google Docs account.



     When you add, delete, or edit your Chrome bookmarks on any device, those changes will be updated across all your computers. You can also add bookmarks from other Web browsers like Firefox and Internet Explorer by importing the data into Chrome.

      If Google Chrome is not your thing, but you like the concept of bookmark syncing, you can also get the same functionality on other popular browsers. Internet Explorer users can download the Windows Live Toolbar to store and sync bookmarks with Microsoft’s online storage service, SkyDrive.

     Firefox users can download the Xmark add-on that allows you to synchronize your bookmarks and passwords. And Opera users can get in on the syncing action through Opera Link. If you don’t want to be tied down to a specific browsers brand, try out Delicious, the social online bookmarking site.
