And no, the lonely Google subscriber you see in the screenshot isn't me. So I'm guessing it's easier to leave it to Feedburner to do the heavy work and implement just the basics in Google Sitemaps. It shows you popular queries for your site and is covered extensively by Google Analytics. An example of this is Top search queries. Well Google Sitemaps already contains features of other Google products, although they aren't as detailed as the separate Google products. So you're wondering what Google is doing? Why don't they simply track every subscriber? Note that Feedburner has been bought by Google recently. If your site publishes feeds of its content, this page will display the number of users who have subscribed to these feeds using Google products such as iGoogle, Google Reader, or Orkut.Īh, so it's like Feedburner's stats except it's limited to only Google products. do you see something extra? Let's see what Google says about Subscriber Stats. Not much difference in terms of usability as far as I can tell, although it does look better design wise. Other than the highly publicized Google Lunar X Prize, Google also gave Google's Sitemaps a new look and added a new type of tracking statistic.Īs you can see, the navigation bar has been shifted to the left instead of appearing at the top in the older version. Obviously you have to do better than that to get the prize, but it doesn't really matter since most of us aren't rocket engineers. $30 million is yours if you can get something to fly to the moon (and back, I think Google got this idea from Savage Garden, just kidding). You probably heard about the launch of Google Lunar X Prize to accelerate space research. I think that sums up what you can find at the site. Additionally, there are several first person accounts, a scene description at the Master Chief site and places where you can enter 180 or 360 degree mode. Gravesite, another video, is slated to be released on Oct 1 2007.
Update: You can download these 11 wallpapers in the Halo 3 Believe Wallpaper pack at .Ģ more videos, one called Hunted, another called Translator are also heading your way on 25 Sept 2007. Certain Firefox extensions (I can't remember what they are) may also provide such batch downloading.Īside from the diorama wallpapers, here are some Halo 3 character wallpapers. Off the top of my head, I know Flashget (Classic version recommended) has such a functionality. But for non-programmers, a download manager should do the trick. Of course, there are several images of this scene that are just slightly different.Īnd with this simple discovery, the coders among you probably are already thinking about setting up a simple script (iterating from 0001 to 1666) to download every single image from Microsoft's server.
The other half is the wallpapers you could create. If you thought that's neat, it's just half the fun. You can manually navigate through the whole battle scene or just click the autoplay and sit back as it brings you from one place to another. Microsoft has got a nifty interactive flash thingy out at Halo 3 Believe which allows you to explore the entire diorama. You could however visit TechCrunch for a few screenshots of Mash.Īnd for those who really want one, invites are available at InviteShare (by TechCrunch). If you wanted a preview, don't bother clicking the link above or visiting Mash since you need an invite to Mash. But I'm thinking iGoogle but instead of being viewable by yourself, it'll be made public. TechCrunch didn't mention this in detail so I'm sure how this would work. The slightly more useful feature is the ability to "mash" different Yahoo apps together. It seems your friends can add modules to your page, which is not something I'd be fond of, since on social networking sites, friends come and go like the unpredictable rain here. Mash doesn't seem to include any special or attractive features that aren't already in other social networking sites except for some mashing capabilities. Yup, at the moment, it's in beta (everything seems to be in beta). Just a couple of hours ago, Yahoo gave a selected few a peek at its new social networking site called Mash, though I'm not too sure why Yahoo bothered at all.
