I'm trying to display a google map on a webpage. The address that the map displays is dynamic. I'm getting the address from a database. Is there anyway to use this address and display it on a webpage?
I followed this tutorial with no luck: http://www.thetutorialblog.com/php/php-class-for-google-maps-api/
If anyone has any other links or suggestions i'd appreciate it.
Here's a SO post that does the geocoding on the client. The only thing your php would have to do is provide the address string.
Maybe try this PHP Google Map API, which appears to be a fork/update of the API talked about in the tutorial that you used. The demos look pretty clear.

Using Linkedin via Buffer, I can share content with only an attached image. ie no accompanying comment, url, or any text. It is also possible via the web interface.
However, when using their share API, you are forced to include a URL and it displays with the content. Buffer must be using the API in some way, so how do you get around this?
I have been looking for the same solution.
How to get large LinkedIn Image Share Format
basically you just pass the image url in submitted-url field and don't pass submitted-image-url paramter in the json.
I was unable to find a this solution in google and in stackoverflow. I hope this help someone in the future.
What is the web technology behind displaying live feeds like twitter search results and dailybooth live feed? Can I get similar results from any RSS with some coding?
The main technology behind such websites often is Ajax. This is used to dynamically change the webpages instead of reloading the whole page.
Yes, you can! You will probably need a realtime (PubSubHubbub-enabled feed) to achieve this, and plug it into some kind of websocket/comet/ajax/longpolling client... but that should work easily. Check this, for example. It's the firehose of gowalla checkins posted to a google map. All the code is on github, so it's quite easy to build, play with!

That's a google tool you can add it from your adsense webpage.
If you have an adsense account the address is this one https://www.google.com/adsense/cse-settings
they "pay" you for using this kind of service
You can customize a google-like search engine for your site. Google itself provides this feature.
Here's a link:

Dear all,I am now using a webtool
http://fiddesktop.cs.northwestern.edu/mmp/scrape?url=
to parse a webpage.
For example,we can parse newyorktimes homepage,we do:
http://fiddesktop.cs.northwestern.edu/mmp/scrape?url=http://www.nytimes.com/pages/world/index.html
in the address bar of our browser,it will parse things nicely for us.
However,it just fails for google pages.
For example,if I want to parse Google news headpage,like:
http://fiddesktop.cs.northwestern.edu/mmp/scrape?url=http://news.google.com/nwshp?hl=en&tab=wn
I will always get 500 Internal Server Error.
I am sure that is somthing to do with google website,I think probably we need some API for google,does anyone have any idea how to to sort this out for google pages?
Many thanks.
Per the google.com robots.txt file, you are explictly requested not to scrape their content. Google does not provide an API for machine-readable search results; they want to control the presentation of their content via widgets and embedding strategies.
