Get more out of Google for Students

Posted by Theo van der Sluijs on 23 Nov 2011 in General | 0 comments

So you are a Student?

So you have to do some research for your essay or school assignment?

Try to do some diggin at Google!

There is a lot more to efficient Googling than you might think: in a recent study on student research skills, 3 out of 4 students couldn’t perform a ‘well-executed search’ on Google! When the success of your term paper hangs in the balance, using Google effectively is crucial, but most students serprisingly just don’t know how!

In the infograph below there are some crucial tips for refining your Googling, as well as some other great places to hunt down that last study you need for your thesis.

Google Flex index test

Posted by Theo van der Sluijs on 24 Sep 2010 in Adobe Flex/Air | 2 comments

I wanted to see if google would actually index this page and if google will index the text inside the flex app shown below.

So this somewhat strange app with strange words in it, should be searched for within a day from google search.

If this actually is searchable you will be able to write non-scrapable websites.

Google Latitude for Joomla! 1.5

Posted by Theo van der Sluijs on 29 Oct 2009 in Joomla! | 1 comment

Wanna let your friends know where you at ?

Start using Google Latitude on your mobile phone ! And show it with this module on your Joomla! site

Google Latitude is a location-aware mobile app developed by Google. Latitude allows a mobile phone user to allow certain people on to track their location. Via their own iGoogle accounts, the user’s cell phone location is mapped on Google Maps. The user can control the accuracy and details of what each of the other users can see — an exact location can be allowed, or it can be limited to identifying the city only. For privacy, it can also be turned off by the user, or a location can be manually entered.

It works out of the box, just put in your Google Latitude Id and start using it !

Look here to see it work !

You know what the best part is of this plugin ? It s comes real  cheap !
