Google Web Accelerator
Google Web Accelerator is an application that uses the power of
Google's global computer network to make web pages load faster.
Google Web Accelerator is feely available on net and easy to use;
all you have to do is download and install it, and from then on
many web pages will automatically load faster than before. The Google
Web Accelerator, released on May 4, 2005 and works with both Mozilla
Firefox and Internet Explorer on Windows XP machines.
Google Web Accelerator uses various strategies to make your web
pages load faster, including:
- Sending your page requests through Google machines dedicated
to handling Google Web Accelerator traffic.
- Storing copies of frequently looked at pages to make them quickly
accessible.
- Downloading only the updates if a web page has changed slightly
since you last viewed it.
- Prefetching certain pages onto your computer in advance.
- Managing your Internet connection to reduce delays.
- Compressing data before sending it to your computer.
- When the Web Accelerator was taken offline only six days after
its original introduction, it was suspected to be in reaction
to the security concerns.

Web API
The Google Web API (or Google Web Services) is Google's public interface
for registered developers. Using Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP),
a programmer can write services for search and data mining that
rely on Google's results. Also, web surfers can view cached pages
and make suggestions for better spelling. In other word we can say
that Google Web API gives developers the ability to open a pipe
between their apps and Google's amazingly comprehensive index of
the Web. Although the API doesn't give you access to everything
that Google offers via a browser, and it's still in beta, its features
give you the power to write some cool and maybe even useful applications.
