Google Developer Day 2011 began with a lecture by James Whittaker, who responds as director of engineering at the Internet company.
What was the ninja code you've written?
In his presentation, James swabbed on topics as varied as Android and Google Chrome. However, the most interesting revelations - and less technical - just came in the segment of the keynote on social tools. "Google + is not only a social network, the service was done to make the entire web social," she says.
Plans for Google +, according to James, are very high. The chief engineer Google says the idea is to put the +1 button across the internet, no matter which site is that the user is accessing. "Why send an email, not a completely social experience," asks James in a play of rhetoric. During the presentation, a colleague showed the implementation of the button on the website Rotten Tomatoes, the film analysis - Google pushed the button +1, wrote a brief comment on the page for the film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 and then decided to share the page with only circle "Wizards and Witches" (the audience laughed out loud, of course).
Like this story is Orkut? "Orkut and Google + are two different products with different missions. We will continue investing in both, "replied the engineer has at his news conference after the keynote. The two social networks have APIs for integration with third-party applications (the Google + were announced yesterday), so that innovation is the responsibility of each developer to exploit this potential.
James Plus remember that Google is not yet fully open. Meanwhile, Orkut is still open and doing very successful in Brazil (although the record Ibope that Facebook has surpassed the social network in August). "Orkut has a clear penchant for communities," added Felix Ximenes, responsible for corporate communications of Google Brazil.
Asked about a possible migration of users of Orkut to Google + James said that this is possible and the opposite too. Using the two social networks is also a possibility, he says. And he concludes by saying he is confident in the ability to innovate Orkut team. "Some of the Orkut owns his own destiny," he says.
