JSOS ver. 7.25

Coldbeans Software announced the next milestone in JSOS (servlets office suite) development. JSOS reaches the version 7.25.

This largest collection of Java servlets and filters provides 150+ "out of the box" components ready for building web-pages. One of the biggest parts is the rich set of filters. Package includes such components as XML and WML transcoding, access restriction, traffic restriction, caching, profiling etc. All components are configurable, so you may incorporate them into your own design frameset. Components from JSOS do support mobile web, so the same set of components can be used for wireless users too. At this moment JSOS provides a largest set of servlets and filters over the Net.

Development paradigms

"LAMP architectures are dead because few web applications want to ship full payloads of markup to the client in response to a small event; they want to update just a fragment of the DOM, using Javascript. AJAX achieved this, but when your server-side LAMP templates are 10% HTML and 90% Javascript, it’s clear that you’re doing it wrong.

To recognize this means shifting our view of the server from a document courier (HTML Age), or a template renderer (LAMP Age), to a function and data shipper. The principal role of the server is to ship an application to the client (Javascript), along with data (JSON), and let the client weave those into a DOM." - a great article about development paradigms changes.

Geo forums

Geo forums.
Mobile mashup introduces free discussions (forums) associated with geo locations. It is HTML5 mobile web applications, so this application works on any phone with HTML5 browser (iPhone, Android)

http://mtalk.linkstore.ru

(it is a mobile site).

You can copy this link right to your mobile browser with QR-code above. Alternatively you can use the following short URL: http://bit.ly/igPCBR

It is cloud based implementation. Mashup saves data in Google Fusion tables and uses forums from Disqus.

P.S. related links:

City forums - mashup combines places from Foursquare and cloud forums from Disqus.
Geo chat - web chat with geo locations

Mobile bookmarks for locations

Our mashup Location bookmark has been updated. It lets you create two things:

1) QR code for mobile map associated with the given address
2) HTML for putting that QR code on your site

So with this tool you can place on your own site (blog etc.) – e.g. somewhere in Contacts or About pages QR code for any given address (e.g. address of your company, office etc.). And any visitor of your site will be able simply to scan this code and load that map right into own phone. So they (visitors) do not need to write/print/remember your address/driving directions anymore. He/she can just load an appropriate mobile map right from your site. Loaded map could be simply bookmarked on the phone (loaded map is just URL).
And driving directions as well as many other interesting things will come automatically with the mobile map (we are using Geo Messages).

Of course, QR code created with this mashup could be placed anywhere. E.g. add it to some article in your blog, print and place it on the wall etc. Also QR – code is just a view that simplify loading of some mobile-friendly URL with map. Actually mashups creates at the first hand that URL and after that creates QR-code for it. So you can publish in your blog a mobile-friendly URL too. Your mobile readers will be able to open that URL directly.

P.S. similar projects:

QR map - lets you create QR code right from the map. This mashup also can create a link to mobile friendly map (iPhone, Android).
Mecard - lets you create QR code for loading address data (contact info) right from your site
Location from Twitter - lets you copy address info from Twitter (via QR-code again)
Tips - lets you copy address data right from social recommendations (Foursquare).

Mobile discussions

Our mashup Mobile forum has been updated. Mashup provides a new creation tool for mobile sites. It lets you create a mobile web page for the discussions (via Disqus API) and an appropriate QR-code for the quick access. Just place this code on any real (physical) object and you (your customers, visitors etc.) will get a forum for this object. Tested for HTML5 mobile browsers (iPhone, Android, Bada, Opera 10.1 etc.).

You can add Google Analytics code to the generated page and see your stats.

Similar applications from our directory:

Geo talk - discussions on the map
City forum - Places + discussions
Place card - Facebook Like button for the real objects
QR-code maker - mobilize your content with QR codes

About Google Talk Guru

Google has quietly launched Google Talk Guru, an instant message chatbot that can deliver search results and answer queries such as sports scores.

Yet another IM bot? Hey, even our project Twitter 411 is much more advanced. It supports programming models. In other words, you can program your own bots.
And all this for the big Twitter audience. There is even own Talk bot, programmed by this approach

Like for real objects

Our mashup Place card has been updated. Lets you place Facebook Like button on the physical object.

Mashup creates QR-code for mobile page (and that page itself, of course) with Facebook's Like button. As soon as QR-code (e.g. placed on the product's wrap) is scanned and an appropriate URL is opened in the mobile browser we can show Like counts. And of course, mobile user will see who from his/her friends likes that too. As a result – we have a simple recommendation system on the base things from Facebook.

It is possible also to check out stats for created pages (we are using FBstat here)
