Ive not found the freecycle community to be that successful for me. However I find that the Idea and the premise is something I want to see working. So I am constantly heartened to see how the idea grows in new areas. The internet proves a fruitful ground for growing ideas.

Changes to Google Docs permissions and security.

Straight from the in box of the Loudmouthman is the news from Google Apps that Publically facing shared Google docs will be indexes and searched by Google and other search engines. You can disable this feature in Google Docs if you wish.

Now I personally thought this was already occurring so this is news to me.

From the email :-

Hello Google Apps admin,

We wanted to let you know about some important changes around published documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.

In a few weeks, documents, spreadsheets and presentations that have been explicitly published outside your organization and are linked to from a public website will be crawled and indexed, which means they can appear in search results you see on Google.com and other search engines. There is no change for documents published inside your organization or shared privately.

If you wish to prevent users from publishing documents to the public internet, we now offer an admin control in the Google Apps Control Panel that allows users to continue to 'share documents outside the domain' without allowing them to publish the files to the public Internet.  To change this setting, follow these steps:

- Login to your admin control panel
- Select Service Settings > Docs
- Un-check the option 'Users can publish documents to the public internet'

If a user does not want their published Docs to be crawled, then the user must unpublish them by doing the following:

- Go to the 'Share tab'
- For documents and spreadsheets, choose 'Publish as web page'. For presentations choose 'Publish/embed'
- Click on the button that says 'Stop publishing'

For more details, please see this Help Center article: http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=60781

This is a very exciting change as your published docs linked to from public websites will reach a much wider audience of people!

Sincerely,

The Google Apps Team

Has twitter freshened up its Fail Whale?

I just Fail Whaled and to me it looked a little sharper and cleaner than usual. Have twitter updated a few of their iconic images and if so can we expect more failure reports in the future ?
