The Singapore Google Technology User Group (SG-GTUG), hosted at http://sg-gtug.org/, is the Singapore chapter of the global Google Technology User Groups. SG-GTUG is a non-profit professional developers group to learn, know and share about Google technologies. The group was started by a group of Google fans and enthusiasts who are interested in using Google's evolving technologies and APIs. Membership is open to developers, managers and organizations who use or plan to use at least one of Google's technologies in their projects.
SG-GTUG's vision is to become the first-stop top-notch Google developer group in Singapore where individual and corporate developers can interact with, and learn and share from one another.
SG-GTUG's mission is to make available various channels for the developers to interact. Their channels would be both virtual and real. They are building a strong web presence through many of the leading social networking websites and tools. In addition, they plan to organize regular developer events where developers can showcase their products and interact with other developers.
The 1st big kickoff meeting for SG-GTUG will take place on Aug 29 (at Google Singapore's office) and features talks on Google Web Kit and Google App Engine -- for event details, please refer to http://tinyurl.com/sg-gtug1

Project Wonderful - Publishers make the most money
Tuesday, August 11, 2009
Instead of setting a fixed price for advertising, they use their innovative Infinite Auction model. Advertisers name the price they want to pay (and when they want to pay it), and whoever is willing to pay the most gets their ad shown! It's profitable and fair to both you and the advertiser, and allows prices to respond quickly to changes in your site.
Step 1.
You create a personalized advertising area for your site. You set the terms of the auction and can approve every bid.
Step 2.
Readers bid on your advertising space, competing for the best deal. As soon as someone is the high bidder, their ad is shown. Anyone can become the high bidder at any time, and you can cancel any bid you don't like.
Step 3.
Profit! It really is as simple as that.
