Google+ Badges Will Let Users Search For Your +Name
Nov 9th
Google has begun the rollout of Google+ sidebar widgets for websites to promote the new brand pages. It’s only visible to members of the Google+ platform preview group, which anyone can join, but Google is not yet launching this feature to the public. There is a publicly visible configuration tool to create badges and preview badges.
The widget displays a +1 button and an ‘Add to circles’ button for the chosen Google+ page. Google+ is joining Facebook and Twitter in providing sidebar widgets for users to promote their social media pages from their own websites. But Google+ badges come with a bonus: they enroll the page in Google+ Direct Connect, so users can find them with a Google search using a +, like “+ReadWriteWeb“.
Sponsor
In addition to letting page owners promote their Google+ content from their own websites, using the Google+ badge qualifies the page for Google+ Direct Connect, the service that lets users go straight to a Google+ page by searching for “+[name]” on Google.
As of yesterday’s launch, only select partners have access to this new keyword search. Once Google+ badges are available to the public, enrollment in Direct Connect will be a strong incentive for Google to drive adoption of badges.
Don’t forget to add ReadWriteWeb to your Google+ circles.
What do you think of Google+ pages so far?

With Square’s Card Case, Pay By Saying Your Name
Nov 3rd
Today Square updated its Card Case digital wallet app. If you leave Square’s “auto open” tabs feature on and walk to your favorite merchant, you can place your order just by saying your name. Merchants who have signed up for Square will be able to see users who are within 100 meters of a location. Just say “put it on [insert name here],” and the payment will be completed. Then you’ll receive a push notification on your phone with the charge amount.

“We want to make payments fade away,” said Megan Quinn, director of products for Square. “People don’t appreciate that; they enjoy making a purchase and feeling like a regular at places they shop.” 
In his presentation, Jack Dorsey described mobile purchasing as something that should feel “magical,” like a one-click Internet purchase.
Merchant cards can be synced with a business’ Twitter stream. (After all, this is Jack Dorsey’s other start-up.) By integrating business’ Twitter streams into the app, users can see if there are any additional deals or discounts. Users can also tweet at a business with any questions, comments or feedback.
Over 20,000 merchants are catalogued in this directory since it opened to the public in August. Currently, 800,000 merchants have activated Square.
In August, Square updated its app, no longer requiring a signature on purchases under $25. Square launched Square Register, a tool for payment processing and for merchants to organize menus, sales and receipts, in May of this year.
Square is not an NFC. It’s also not a dongle, which turns your smartphone into a credit card reader. This new feature places Square in competition with dongle providers Verifone, Intuit, Erply, ROAMPay, TRUSTe and PayAnywhere.

PhoneGap Applies to Apache Software Foundation, Contemplates Name Change
Sep 29th
Popular open source mobile development framework “wrapper” PhoneGap has applied for consideration to the Apache Software Foundation and contemplating a name change. In a message in PhoneGap’s Google Groups development page, Nitobi software developer Brian Leroux said that the project has “initialized the process to contribute PhoneGap to the Apache Software Foundation” and that they may change the name to Apache DeviceReady.
Except for the name change, this would potentially be a great move for PhoneGap. The Apache Software Foundation is a top-level community of developers and users that provides organizational, legal and financial support to open source projects. Many consider ASF to be among the “developer elite.”
Sponsor
There are a couple potential sticking points for PhoneGap concerning the name change. As commenter Matt Lacey said in regards to the name, DeviceReady is an Android testing service that checks applications for compatibility across various Android builds and devices. Leroux said the name change and move to Apache were in part motivated by the battle over the PhoneGap trademark.
Here is what Leroux wrote in PhoneGap’s Google Groups forum:
Hello contributors, friends and PhoneGap hackers,
We have initialized the process to contribute PhoneGap to the Apache
Software Foundation (ASF). The process is straightforward beginning w/
a submission of a proposal to the ASF that describes the move in
detail. We’ve been looking at different options for a foundation
contribution since the beginning. Now is the time. PhoneGap is hugely
adopted and the IP belongs in an org aligned w/ our goals, philosophy
and the web. It will remain free software, licensed as it always has
been: Apache/BSD/MIT.A key point of consideration w/ the move currently is the name
PhoneGap itself. As some here may know, we have had some litigious
posturing over the PhoneGap Trademark. This is, sadly, common in the
free software world. We wanted to choose something that was in the
spirit of PhoneGap, illustrated the move beyond phones, and did not
relate us to any companies producing khakis. We’re thinking, Apache
DeviceReady. Kudos to Jesse for cooking that beauty up after an hour
of anguished brainstorming.I will post the proposal to the PhoneGap wiki sometime this week. Your
early feedback is appreciated and encouraged.Thanks,
Brian
That was posted on Tuesday, Sept. 27. Checking the PhoneGap Wiki, Leroux nor any other Nitobi developer has posted the ASF proposal as of Sept. 29 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time. Nitobi is based out of Vancouver, so it could come later today or tomorrow.
The Apache Software Foundation hosts a variety of top-notch projects, including XML, HTTP Server and CouchDB (among many more). PhoneGap would benefit from the legal protection of ASF. That would probably not help with the trademark issue but would protect Nitobi’s PhoneGap intellectual property going forward.
What do you think? Does PhoneGap have what it takes to be part of ASF? How would this affect their development infrastructure? Let us know in the comments.
