Nice readings on OS related stuff
Mandatory field added to G-Spreadsheets:Form
Earlier, for any survey which one wanted to conduct online, one had to find a ISP, create a form with HTML coding, and then receive responses through emails (one way of surveying). But now with Google Spreadsheets, one can create Forms as easily as editing a word document. With standard G-feature, one can publish it, share it as collaborators, viewers and even ask people to fill it out. There is a readymade code for embedding onto any website. All the entries through this form, will enter one Google Spreadsheet as a row. Thus, the whole data is readily available for processing...so easy.
One feature which was a basic requirement for filling up a form is making a particular field mandatory or optional. There was now way, earlier, to make a particular field mandatory. But today when I opened it up to create yet another form, noticed their change in layout (More Actions), and addition of 'this field is required'.
Many more improvements expected to better the visual look of the form. Sure its on its way! ;)
Plan your Wedding, Google Way
This had to come here. How multiple Google products were used to plan out a wedding using GDocs, inform people using Gmail, help finding place through GMaps, show the whole schedule using GCalendar, goes on and goes on. Read the complete story here...
Scheduled Posting at Blogger
This got missed out yesterday. Learnt only now. There is a possibility of scheduling a post to a future date and time. Here are the details posted by Bloggers themselves.
How to logout from multiple G-Products
Suppose we are having multiple webpages open, each with a different Google Product. If one wants to sign out from all of them, then one signs-out from any of the webpage and you are off from all of them. There is no way, one can sign out of one of Googles' multiple products and be logged in other Google product, unless you are signed in as different mail ids. Again, one cannot sign into multiple accounts of Google in Firefox....overheard someone saying, its possible with IE, but yet to try that out. Another way one can be signed into multiple Google Products through different mail ids will be to log in using different browsers for each mail id.
If now suppose one is using Google Apps For Your Domain. Say, you are logged into Gmail (and/or other Google products through Gmail ID or Google Accounts ID) and are also logged into GApps account. How to sign out simultaneously from both the accounts (extendable to respective multiple G-products) without signing out separately?
Google uses Cookies heavily for its AJAX renderation. Does this blink any hint? Clear cookies from your Browser, O la la, you are signed out of all G-products, including GApps! Its eaiser to log out in Firefox with the Shortcut combination Ctrl+Shift+Del (note its different from Ctrl+Alt+Del - a Shift shifts the gear). With one key combination, logging out becomes easier.
