Today is Google Developer Day! We're hosting events for developers in ten cities around the world, as you can read about fromMatt Cutts and on ourGoogle Blog. Jonathan Simon and Maile Ohye, whom you have seen on this blog, at conferences, and in ourdiscussion forum, are currently hanging out at the event in San Jose.

I've been at the Beijing event, where I gave a keynote about "Plumbing the Web—APIs and Infrastructures" for 600 Chinese web developers. I talked about a couple of my favorite topics, Sitemaps and Webmaster Tools, and some of the motivations behind them. Then I talked a bit about consumer APIs and some of our backend infrastructures to support our platform.

Check out thevideo of my keynote on YouTube or see some of the other videos from theevents around the globe.
