Google links Apps to Groups for quicker sharing

Google has linked its online applications suite with its Groups service, making it possible to share documents, sites, and calendars among defined groups of people.

Before the new functionality was launched Monday, Google Apps users wanting to share items had either to make them entirely public, or share them on a person-by-person basis.

The change means that, for example, a spreadsheet shared with a Google Group will be accessible immediately to anyone joining that group, or rendered inaccessible to those leaving the group.

Gmail push on iPhone? Meet GPush

The arrival of push notification in Apple’s 3.0 iPhone software whipped up excitement, though its real-world application still left users wanting more. On Monday, Tiverias Apps released GPush (iTunes link), a small (0.3MB), ninety nine cent application that fills in a gap with push notification for your Gmail account.

GPush alerts you to incoming Gmail messages with a red icon badge, a chime, and a semi-transparent alert window that reads the sender’s name and the subject line. (You can change these in the Notification settings.) The application interface itself does little, apart from collecting your login information once, and manually reregistering your credentials. All the rest works behind the scenes.

T-Mobile G1 Might Not Be Able To Use Future Google Android Updates

T-Mobile G1 Might Not Be Able To Use Future Google Android Updates

One of the T-Mobile G1’s most appealing features is that its Android OS can be upgraded to take advantage of new updates issued by Google. Allegedly due to limited system memory, the G1 may have reached its ceiling with the latest “Cupcake” version of Android OS. According to an Android engineer’s Twitter page:

“As much as I’m hoping that it’ll be possible to somehow continue updating the G1, I can’t promise anything.”

When the G1 was first released, the OS was raw and not quite ready for prime time. A lot of customers bought the phone anyway, banking on Google to improve the OS with updates. This has to be tremendously disappointing news for G1 owners. Android is getting better and better all the time, but there’s a chance G1 owners will not be able to enjoy the “Donut” and “Eclair” updates for Android. Of course this Android engineer could be totally wrong and there might be a way for G1s to continue to receive updates.

Any G1 owners in the house? How do you feel about this news?

Google’s Caffeine: a jolt to search rankings?

One of the largest behind-the-scenes updates to Google’s search technology in three years is underway, as the company reworks its computing muscle.

Last night Google quietly began soliciting feedback for “Caffeine,” a new system for Web searches that is being tested completely separate from the live search results currently found through Google.com. Google makes almost constant changes to its search algorithms and infrastructure, but it hasn’t made an update of this magnitude since 2006, said Matt Cutts, a principal engineer at Google and considered one of the driving forces behind its approach to search.
