Unfortunately, you arrive a few months late. You could have applied for the University Research Google Program ( http://research.google.com/university/search/), but they have closed the applications now. You may try to contact them at [email protected] , or see http://research.google.com/university/ .

Good luck in finding an alternative :-) Gio On Mon, Nov 7, 2011 at 5:16 PM, Jeremy Geerdes <[email protected]> wrote: > The answer to your question depends on which API you're going to use.
