Blogger: How to Embed Google Documents

Google Docs offers an undocumented feature that lets you embed PDF files and PowerPoint presentations in a web page. The files don't have to be uploaded to Google Docs, but they need to be available online.



Here's the code I used to embed the PDF file:

<iframe src="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://infolab.stanford.edu/pub/papers/google.pdf&embedded=true" style="width:600px; height:500px;" frameborder="0"></iframe>

but you should replace the bold URL with your own address. As I mentioned, the document viewer works for PDF and PPT files.

Some other sites that offer similar features: Zoho Viewer, PdfMeNot.

Update: The viewer is now available at https://docs.google.com/viewer. You can use it to embed PDF documents, PowerPoint presentations, and TIFF files.

Facebook: Change Your Facebook Fan Page URL

Step 1: Plan your page

Since today Facebook Fan pages can have vanity urls too. Meaning instead of the ugly
http://www.facebook.com/pages/the-long-name-you-chose/the-id-facebook-gave-you
you could have:
http://www.facebook.com/yourchoiceofname
In order to set the Facebook vanity url for your fan page, there are several things which need to be in place first.
  • You need to be admin of the page in question
  • It seems you also may need a verified account
  • You need to know which name you want for that page. Because once you have set it, you can never change it.
Facebook lists the following restrictions:
    • Create a username that is as close as possible to your public figure or business name (e.g. AshtonKutcher, PizzaHut).
    • If you own the rights to a given name, make it your username so that others cannot obtain it.
    • Usernames can only contain alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) or a period (".").
    • Choose a username you will be happy with for the long term. Usernames are not transferable.
    • Your username must adhere to Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities.

Step 2: Choose your vanity url

For choosing your pages url, visit http://www.facebook.com/username/. You will see something similar to this:

This means, that I have set my personal username and in the bottom you do find the "Set username for your pages". Click on this and you will see a new selection: image

Now, if my page for the Global Business Women had enough fans, I could now choose to enter a name for them and show you the rest. ;)

Step 3: Setting the URL

I will follow with more information once I have a page over 100 fans to check how this goes ;)

Further information from the help entry from Facebook:
  • Infringement: If you wish to report that someone’s username infringes your rights, please fill out our username infringement form. The form is located here.
  • I am an authorized representative for a public figure, brand or business and/or hold the rights to a trademark name. My username was claimed by another user. What can I do?
    If you wish to report that someone’s username infringes your rights, please fill out our username IP infringement form.
  • What is the process to request removal of an unauthorized Page of a public figure, brand or business?
    If you wish to report that someone’s username infringes your rights, all you need to do is fill out our username IP infringement form here.
  • Will usernames such as "flowers" or "pizza" ever be available for Facebook Pages? Can I sign up on a waiting list?
    At this time, generic words are not available as usernames. Facebook encourages all users and Page administrators to create a username that closely matches the true identity of their name or business.
