Re:Is there any roadmap for Google+ API? on Thursday July 07, 2011 @05:08AM (#2737807)
I agree with @noahth that its a easier way to prevent from Spam post. However, it may reduce activities of users. There are pros and cons and its tricky to balance them.

Do you mean it is not going to come soon? They should provide graph API if they want to make it as a platform.

Which is better, Google +1 or Facebook Like?

I have used +1 in my site http://www.lolzwow.com. I believe Google social plugin will help in Search Engine Optimization too. Who ever wins the battle making the web content more social we Internet user will be the winner for sure. Please if you like my site Give +1 for it.

I am also facing the same issue. Number of facebook likes for my sites is also inconsistent. Change in the number is not that significant, however, the inconsistency problem is there.
I think it depends on the product you are lunching. However, in general following things may help to gain early users

1) Using social media (Facebook and twitter) for marketing

2) Make Facebook app/ Facebook fanpage it may help in viral growth

3) Search engine optimization

4) Service\content you are providing should be magnetic so that early visitors will be converted into early users

Which programming language is the best for programming beginner?

QBASIC was the first programming language I learned in my secondary school. It has already been more than a decade.Some of the engineering colleges teach "C" as introductory programming language. However, i somehow feel like Python is very intuitive and easy to understand. Is it a good idea to begin computer programming with Python?

Do you see the possibility of making Computer Science PhD work as a some real product rather than just few publications?
Thanks for the links.

Startup or PHD, which is better option for computer science graduate?

i am a working in a datamining and information retrieval research project. I was thinking of applying for the PHD. Working couple of hours a day after office time for 2 months i was able to lunch a website and a Facebook application. This fun project motivates me to do similar projects, at the same time it confused me whether to go for full time project of my own or go for PHD.

Yes, datastore backup and restore using bulkloader is not comfortable. For getting backup in local machine i am using bulkloader. However, i am doing online backup using backup(dummy) appengine project. I am coping data back and forth between production and backup projects for backup and restore purpose. Its comparatively easier.
