google plus and pinterest share: how to not show unwanted images - google-plus

When user try to share my page on google plus, google gives suggestions for some extra images which I don't want. I wan't only one image to show up in share windows. Is any way to tell that? I already use og:image tag, but it doesn't help.
The same problem is when Google Chrome Pin it extension is used for Pinterest.

Although Google+ generally respects the "og" tags, it frequently has trouble doing so. What works much better is to use Schema.org microdata. You can find a configuration tool to help, and some very brief documentation, at https://developers.google.com/+/web/snippet/.
More information about Schema.org markup is available at https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1211158.

Link to change language of site

Does anyone know or recommend a method for a simple way to convert a site into a different language. I just need the site to change from spanish to english and vice versa, but the site will load in spanish first. Perhaps a plugin is available? Most of the content is dynamic and the site is being developed with Concrete5 CMS. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.
I think you need to install an add-on for this. Check out Internationalization, it's free: http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/internationalization/
Here is a YouTube video showing it in action, so you can quickly see if it's what you had in mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd936iaDLqw&feature=player_embedded
You need some automatic translation tool (since you said your content is dynamic).There are many in internet, you just have to search for "Automatic translation API".
I recommend you using the Google Translate one.

How does Safari's reader feature work?

I want to add a similar feature to a tool I'm making. I'm interested in how it works code-wise. I want to be able get an html page and exclude all but the article.
The Readability project does something similar for chrome and iOS. I'm not sure how it detects the content automatically but I know that Readability has an API for people who want to integrate it's features. You might want to check that out.

If you're working with Ruby, you could use Pismo. It extracts an article from a given document.

Embedding PDF on website - without uploading to other service

On our site we use Google's document viewer to let users view PDF and other documents in the browser. But Google's viewer is not very good, when used without being Google. Quite often it doesn't show anything, and the limit for the PDF file is around 10/20mb. The main issue is that it quite often just doesn't show any files.
So, we're looking for a way to show pdf (and other documents) on our site. It would be great if it could be done without us having to upload it to another service as this complicates the process.
The pricing is not an issue, so even if you know an expensive service, it would be great to let us know.
Or if anyone has other solutions then it would be great to hear of that too.
Thanks,
Tobias
Through another source we were suggested to use Scribd, and our first tests shows that it works great. The documentation is good-ish so it's easy enough to set up.

Where are the docs for the Chromium Embedded Framework?

I downloaded and started playing with CEF, but there doesn't seem to be any docs for it. Not even a working wiki… Am I missing something?
Most of the documentation is in CEF's header files. The binary distribution comes with docs generated from those files. It's well documented in terms of amount of content written, but I had a lot of trouble while learning to use it. The project's Wiki page contains a lot of useful content as does the cefclient sample program.
The CEF3 API documentation can be found at http://magpcss.org/ceforum/apidocs3/
and CEF1 API docuemntation can be found at http://magpcss.org/ceforum/apidocs/. These two links can be found on the Chromium Embedded framework (CEF) wiki home page: https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/Home
You didn't provide a link to CEF, so I Googled it, and found the project's Web site, which features a prominent link to their wiki.
The wiki has several pages, but the first one that jumped out at me is the General Usage page that shows how to create a "fully functional embedded browser window using CEF".
So I'm not sure where you were looking, but yes, it looks like you were missing something (grin). The wiki documentation is right there.

Getting started with a Picasa Plugin

Does anyone here know any resources on how to get started writing a plugin for Google's Picasa? I love it for photo management, but I have some ideas for how it could be better.
Riya-esque facial search: given a large enough corpus of faces and pictures (people tend to be repeated often in individuals' albums (family, friends), I would think some semi-workable version of this could be done. And with 13+ gigs/7 years of photos, it would be very nice for search.
Upload to Facebook EDIT: Someone already made a very nice version
Upload to any non-Google property, actually.
I know there are certain APIs and a Picasa2Flickr plugin out there, and I was wondering if anyone had seen any resources on this topic or had any experience
there is a an Opensource Project which created a "Upload To FlickR" Plugin. Maybe you could use it as an startingpoint...
I thought about facial recognition many years ago but my search only found a web API - no plugin api. My idea was to use an external facial recognition program to slowly index my entire catalogue of pictures and reliably tag them according to who was in them. It wouldn't need to be 100% accurate, but anything over 85% would be acceptable.
I would start with the Picasa API:
