Notelets for 2007.09.25

I was going to try Google Presentation, the new Powerpoint-like subsystem of Google Docs, until I learned that it doesn't export presentations to Powerpoint or OpenDocument. (See Can I download a presentation to my local computer?.) Now, I might create my PPT or OpenDocument presentation and then upload it to see how good the importing facility is.

There is a new YouTube API based on GData, but there is still upload and write-capabilities: YouTube API Blog: We hear you - we know that upload and other write capabilities are wanted by the community. These features are what we're focusing on next. There is a PHP-based library that lets you do YouTube uploading: PHPTube - YouTube API for Video Upload & Download » nonsmokingarea.com.

Some useful references for Chapter 17 on office suites

Fodder for Chapter 17 on office suites when I get to writing it in detail:

    "We definitely want to build out APIs, especially for the spreadsheets side, as spreadsheets are more data-oriented, but maybe also for he word processor," Google product manager Jonathan Rochelle said. "People will be able to do mashups with our tools for other things, and not be stuck behind our dev cycle for everything they want."
