So, if you read this (and I know there has to be at least 4 other people in the world that do), go ahead and hit the Join button on it, and let me know y&#8217;all are out there. (it helps to know one is writing to an audience instead of providing technical articles to the etherworld.)<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to worry about spam or anything &#8211; I don&#8217;t like it either.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, I&#8217;m also working on a tutorial entry that describes how to get data from a Google Docs Spreadsheet. Normally, I wouldn&#8217;t worry about trying to release this code, but since it was such a pain for me to figure out (like the <a href=\"http:\/\/thepizzy.net\/blog\/2008\/01\/how-to-setup-a-ut3-internet-server\/\" target=\"_blank\">UT3 Server setup<\/a>), I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s a pain for others to figure out as well.<\/p>\n<p>The code creates a secure-authenticated session to Google Accounts, and then requests the data from a particular cell on a spreadsheet. My code goes one step further though, and posts that data to Twitter &#8211; which means it also creates an authenticated POST request via the Twitter API.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why do that?&#8217; you ask&#8230;Well, if you want to be able to update a spreadsheet from, say an iPhone or other Mobile Browser, Google Docs will not let you. But I&#8217;ll explain more in the coming entry. Be looking for that sometime this week (I hope).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been part of the Google Connect beta since shortly after it came out &#8211; but it wasn&#8217;t until recently that I actually implemented it on my blog and the parent site, www.thepizzy.net.
