The Data Liberation Front is an engineering team at Google whose singular goal is to make it easier for users to move their data in and out of Google products. We do this because we believe that you should be able to export any data that you create in (or import into) a product. We help and consult other engineering teams within Google on how to "liberate" their products. This is our mission statement: Users should be able to control the data they store in any of Google's products. Our team's goal is to make it easier for them to move data in and out. - Yaniv Golan

"The server-side detection sees the browser as IE, with one tiny exception: it adds a string “chromeframe” to the User Agent that you could easily look for and act on. The client-side detection sees the browser as Google Chrome — the exact same User Agent as when you visit the page using the Chrome browser." - Yaniv Golan

"I share your pain, Ilan. You asked me on Twitter – what will I switch to. I don't have an answer yet, but one thing I know is that I will not be so quick to switch to another service that holds that much power over my content *I've* created. Power corrupts One thing though – while I appreciate the compliment, I do have to say that this is not doing Thomas justice in fact, when I grow up, I want to be a Thomas Hawk." - Yaniv Golan

"+1 I can see why users and marketeers would choose to use bit.ly and its like. It solves a real problem, it’s easy to use, it’s well integrated, and it’s got cool stats. I cannot though understand why content publishers are promoting bit.ly. Setting up their own URL shortener is such a minimal effort, and the benefits - both in terms of eliminating risks and gaining new opportunities - are significant. I actually went on and an on about this here: “Of Breweries and URL Shorteneres” http://yaniv.golan.name/blog..." - Yaniv Golan
