May is here, which means Google I/O is just a few weeks away (May 28 - 29). If you haven't already, don't forget to register for the event.

Google I/O will be our largest developer event of the year. We'll have over 80 in-depth, technical sessions focused on building the next generation of web apps. If you haven't visited lately, you may want to check out the sessions related to the Google data APIs, including:
