Phoenix Network Forums

Okay, first off I have no idea whether this is in the right section or not (so feel free to move ) but anyway.

I have been working on some projects lately, that run on top of Google's services, but more like "Google how I see it". What I came up with so far are two things, which I'll divide in two sections.

--------------------------
Ideal Google Search?
http://google.l2-zeus.com

Simply input your search string, and my script will lookup your query and return the Google results in a flash, if not faster. The trick here is using well structured PHP, CSS styling (no tables) and making use of SOAP (WSDL) technology provided by Google's APIs (http://google.com/apis). Quite simply, I'm making use of widely available technology to do that. I'm planning to release this as a tool to search your own website without much experience (anyone with PHP could use) and easily stylable. Currently it searches the entire web. Post suggestions here

Cool email?
http://email.leaked.ca

I was thinking last night, I needed a catchy name for an upcoming website of mine. Since I'm Canadian, I went with the .ca option. Then, today I suddenly thought, "wouldn't it be cool if I could use my Google Apps account" (Google provided with 4000 accounts, that's 8TB of space), thus, I came up with free @leaked.ca emails powered by Gmail's service.

Personally, I think it looks cooler than @gmail.com Just pop by http://email.leaked.ca[/b]

So the second project is something like a mirror of gmail ?

No, it is hosted by Google entirely.

Wonderfull projects ,I`m interested in the first one ,a search for my site without the google advertisements would be fine.

I've seen links to the first one from slashdot before. Nice project. I personally think that the still could use a few changes (larger text, less border, and more padding), but it's a good idea.

I doubt that. Perhaps links to Google APIs, but the PHP adaptation that you see there is my work entirely. It might not be new, but I am working on a complex class to handle the results

No, I mean a link to your website. Or at least something that looked exactly like it. It's a popular thing to bring up during google flamewars.

Will you package this project so I can download it and integrate it in my site?I`m interested in putting a clean search to my site.

If my site has been Slashdotted, then it would be down I don't have enough bandwidth for that. Anyhow, yes I will release it in the near future.

nice idea, keep up your work
