Develop Your Own Applications Using Google

Develop Your Own Applications Using Google.

With the Google Web APIs service, software developers can query more than 8 billion web pages directly from their own computer programs. Google uses the SOAP and WSDL standards so a developer can program in his or her favorite environment – such as Java, Perl, or Visual Studio .NET.

Program ideas:

- Auto-monitor the web for new information on a subject
- Glean market research insights and trends over time
- Invent a catchy online game
- Create a novel UI for searching
- Add Google’s spell-checking to an application

I can’t really think of an application that would use the Google API. I do like that spell checking application though.

Google Smackdown is an example of an application that uses the API.
