The official blog for the latest news from Google Commerce
Mark your calendars: HTML5 Hackathons
7/15/11
(Cross-posted on the
Google Code Blog
)
Over the past year, the web application ecosystem has been growing at an accelerating pace. Faster browsers and powerful web platforms like HTML5 have enabled developers to switch from native code to web based apps.
That’s why the Google Chrome and Commerce teams are holding several HTML5 Web App hackathons around the United States in early August. This is a great opportunity for developers to socialize, network and play with the latest web APIs. During the hackathons, we'll cover the end-to-end process of developing an HTML5 application, publicizing with
Chrome Web Store
and finally monetizing with
In-App Payments
.
In true hackathon style, participants will have the opportunity to create teams and work on a project together. At the end of the day, participants will present what they have created, and vote on the best apps or games. And of course we’ll have some awesome prizes for the winners.
The event is free of charge but space is limited. For more information and to register, please visit the location-specific links below:

We’re looking forward to seeing the applications and games you build!

Shopping, saving and sharing on the Google Commerce Blog
5/25/11
Today we’re launching the
Google Commerce Blog
to bring you news, trends and ideas about shopping, retailing and payments from across Google and beyond.
Google commerce products help buyers easily find the things they're looking for no matter where they are. They also help retailers attract and retain customers. For example, retailers can list their items for free in
Google Product Search
and reach buyers right when they’re searching for that product.
Google Shopper
,
Google Maps
,
Google Places
and
Boutiques.com
aim to make savvy shopping easier and faster. And with
Google Checkout
, you can buy online quickly, safely and conveniently.
Commerce isn’t just about physical goods. Content providers like newspaper, book and magazine publishers and game developers can also sell their digital wares with a single sign-on using
Google One Pass
,
In-App Payments
or
Google eBooks
. Readers and players can access their paid content from any device, on the desktop, tablet, or mobile phones because it is stored in the cloud.
To share updates about these products and more, and to help developers better monetize their businesses, we recently hosted the first
Commerce track
at
Google I/O
featuring sessions from five commerce product areas. We want to keep that conversation going, and give you a window into what's new year-round.
Follow this blog for ways to make shopping, buying and selling in-the-cloud and on-the-go better.
