Google Docs chat show timestamp?

Is there a way to show the timestamp for Google Docs chat?


The short answer, No. There are ways around it though;


Example: Download AutoHotKey and paste the following into a script:

+!d:: ;Shift-Alt-D: Insert current date
SendInput %A_DD%/%A_MM%/%A_YYYY%
return

[FIX] Sorry, you have exceeded your sharing quota.

Many users report problems of trying to share google docs with other users and getting this error message, preventing them from sharing. It is especially common on new google accounts.

This is a spam countermeasure by google that has had some unfortunate layover into actual users. There is no way to simply remove the barrier. There are steps you can take though:


1. Ensure your account is activated and phone-verified.
2. Close out of the document and re-open it, try to share the document. (success!)


Alternatives:

1. It is suggested to wait 24 hours and try again.
2. Create a Google Group as an alternative
3. Complain on the Google Docs forum

How to remove referral spam from Google Analytics




Sites like www.trafficfaker.com , domar.ru , etc. are all annoying as they add nonsense to our blog traffic data. While there is no immediate way to block them from showing in our stats page, we can hide them from Google analytics. 











Here is a step by step process to do that:

1. Login to google analytics
2. Under the website profiles, click on "Edit"
3. Click on "Add Filter"
   a. Enter the name of the filter (ex: "Banned sites")
   b. Select "predefined filter"
   c. Select "Exclude"
   d. Select "Traffic from the domains"
   e. Select "That contain"
   f. Enter "trafficfaker.com"
   g. Select not case sensitive
And click on 'save changes'

Plused.net Review

Plused.Net Review

What is Plused.Net?

- You sign up and +1 other people's links in exchange for "coins"
- "Coins" can be used to get others' +1's on your website.

What's the catch?

- Google is smart. They undo fake +1's. All the +1's you'll get from this site will be nullified (even ones you +1 to your own site.)


Verdict:

- Don't waste your time. It won't work. You're better off advertising your site legit.
