Nice to have met you again Alfredo, back from those “seo cloaker” days while I was doing SEO for “that company” – black hat i think was not a term used back then. oooopppss.

For a developer (as if) :P , i think it was disappointing because there wasnt much discussed or if you where expecting more than your usual “awareness campaign”. Like that guy from domain.ph who was expecting more answers. Personally the GADGET is just the WIDGET google (G + DGET ) reinvented hehe, or the API grown to the next level.

From an SEO’s perspective, the only thing that bothered me was like RSS feeding, whats the impact of a GADGET “fed” content to Google’s criteria on duplicate content policy? They clearly emphasize that content can only be approved if it came from a site that gave you permission to use it. Here is a scenario (stupid as it may sound), i “scrape your content” place in my page and feed it my GADGET. Technically the content is alreay mine and i will ofcourse approve permission.

And how would the links generated by these content be treated by the Google Algorithm?

From an affiliate marketeers perspective, Im seeing GADGETS replacing or augmenting banner ads as a point of action to even a point of commissionable action. If the PORN or ADULT industry starts doing that in 2-3 months then thats where i suppose its going. You would see live on cam videos fed to partner site which you can customize relative to location or preferences set either by partner or the user himself (” select BIG BLONDE _ _ _ _”), with the GADGET based FREE TOUR now.B)

Google OpenSocial opens alot of possibilities specially for social media sites or is it an elaborate scheme to “profile” people based on their search behavior and network? This can also be the TROJAN horse for a segment of the online landscape that GOOGLE or any other Company has NO control of.

Need some sleep. Whoever invented deadlines should be dragged out on the street and skinned alive.
