End-User Access to Cloud

Computing
Overview
• Rishi Chandra, a product manager for Google Enterprise, outlined in
an interview what he believes are key trends that will drive movement
toward cloud-based enterprise applications.
• Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings for consumers and provide an
overview of their benefits.
YouTube
• YouTube is the leader in online video, and a premier destination to
watch and share original videos worldwide across the Internet through
web sites, mobile devices, blogs, and email.
• It allows people to easily upload and share video clips on the YouTube
web site
YouTube
• Founded in February 2005, YouTube received funding from Sequoia
Capital and was officially launched in December 2005.
• Chad Hurley and Steve Chen were the first members of the YouTube
management team and currently serve as chief executive officer and
chief technology officer, respectively.
• Within a year of its launch, in November 2006, YouTube was
purchased by Google in one of the most talked-about acquisitions to
date.
YouTube API Overview
• The YouTube APIs and tools enable site developers to integrate
YouTube’s video content and functionality into their web site,
software applications, or devices.
YouTube API Overview
Widgets
• Widgets are simple page elements that developers can embed in a web
site to give it YouTube functionality.
• Simply adding a strip of videos or allowing users to perform a video
search on your web site can greatly enhance usability and acceptance
from those users.
YouTube API Overview
Video Bar
• The Video Bar is a simple way to integrate a strip of video thumbnails
into your site.
• Just clicking on a thumbnail opens a floating player for playing video
locally.
• For integration teams, YouTube provides a simple wizard to help
jumpstart the process.
• The Video Bar is implemented using the Google AJAX Search API.
YouTube API Overview
Video Search Control
• The Video Search Control also uses the Google AJAX Search API.
• It provides the ability to search through massive amounts of YouTube
content.
• Each Video Search Control search box is preconfigured with a set of
HTML tags that define and display thumbnails for the video results
obtained from the search.
• Clicking on a thumbnail of video search results will play it without
leaving the page.
YouTube Player API Overview
• The Player APIs let you control the YouTube player using JavaScript
or ActionScript.
• It is important to distinguish between the two types of players, the
normal “embedded” player you most likely have already seen on the
Internet, and a second, chromeless player, which is just a video box
without controls.
YouTube Player API Overview
Embedded Player
• The embedded player is the simplest way to place YouTube videos on a
web page.
• To customize the behavior and color of the player, developers can use
well-documented embedded player parameters.
Chromeless Player
• Interface elements and controls (such as toolbars and buttons) placed
around content are sometimes referred to as “chrome,” so a chromeless
player is, by definition, a YouTube video player without such controls.
Zimbra
• On September 17, 2007, Yahoo! announced that it had entered into an
agreement to acquire Zimbra, Inc., a company specializing in web-
based email and collaboration software, for approximately $350
million.
• The Zimbra email and calendar server is available for Linux, Mac OS
X, and virtualization platforms.
• Zimbra can synchronize with smartphones (such as iPhone and Black-
Berry) and desktop clients (such as Outlook and Thunderbird).
Zimbra
It works with any POP or IMAP email account, such as Yahoo! Mail,
Zimbra Mail, Hotmail, Gmail, AOL, Microsoft Outlook, or any other
work or personal email account that uses POP or IMAP.
Facebook
• Facebook, Inc., is a leading engineering company located in the heart
of Silicon Valley.
• Facebook was formerly called Thefacebook and is a free-access social
networking web site that is operated and privately owned by
