I'm creating a contact with google People API, but I can't figure out how to "tag" that contact with an existing tag of my account.
If anyone knows, will help me a lot.

I want to create a store website using amazon's product advertising api, and as I understand, what you actually get from amazon is the products with a shop now button that is taking you to the amazon website to purchase it, something like this:
but I really wanted to create a full experience in my website, and wanted to know if its possible somehow to mask the purchase and keep the user in my website, does someone know something that can help?
According to the documentation,
https://developers.google.com/people/api/rest/v1/people
https://developers.google.com/people/api/rest/v1/people#skill
it is possible to define the field "skills" when creating a contacts through the People Api. I tried to create a contact with skills populated, and the information are correctly saved in the contacts.
What the field is used for? Is it possible to display such information in Google Contacts? Is there a way to search contacts based on this field?
Thanks in advance to everybody
Those seem to be legacy fields from GPlus days. They aren't used in any UIs. I'd recommend not using them.
I have done some research, looking for the right answer, but nothing was specific. First of all, I saw sites on how to create a cookie, but it was not clear how it would be useful for me.
Recently, I was buying a gift for someone and went to a clothing store online. I purchased some items, no when I go to Facebook, for example, I see that clothing stores ads. I assume there was a cookie put on my computer, in my temp folder, and then Facebook knows to show that ad.
I want to do something similar, but with Google Adwords. When people go to my website, I want to add a cookie to the user's computer so that when they see Google ads, either through the Display Network or in the Search Network, my Google Ad will come up because they had already shown an interest in my product/service by coming to my site.
This is obviously possible with Facebook ads, but can I do it with Google Ads? I would like to know how to do this. Any details or step-by-step resources would be greatly appreciated.
You can do this with remarketing: https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2453998?hl=en
When I am logged into my Google account and I search anything on Google,
these days if it is a blog or a profile, Google shows the name of the owner. and also tells me if I am connected to that person.
I can understand if Its a blogger blog where the author might be having a Google+ account which I am connected to.
But under my Facebook friends account in Google search results.
It reads "You are connected to XYZ on Facebook" on hovering over is name.
Is it because I told Google Plus about my other profile links, ie Twitter and Facebook ?
I don't think connections are accessible under Graph API without any access token and I don't remember giving Google any such permissions.
It is likely due to your logged in facebook session. If this is active, it will show up on websites allowing you to comment on certain things, from the random website, straight onto facebook. Or like it, etc etc.
Google is most likely just using your logged in session.
If you dont like such features (I personally hate facebook apps on websites ), you can block them using script blocking addons for your browser.
I.e. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/
The Google dashboard at https://www.google.com/dashboard list what Google knows about you, under the section "Me on the Web" I believe you can adjust what twitter/Facebook profiles are linked to you Google account. I don't have any so I'm not %100 sure but a good place to check.
I would like to create some kind of open free "group" posting of photos with geotags
First I thought about Panoramio, but seems there is no API for photos upload.
By now I can see only two ways:
Flickr - there are groups but you have to approve group membership anyway, or use tags for grouping which is bad for maintenance
Custom server solution which will cost efforts and hosting
Can you suggest other free photo services with geotags functionality, or opensource solutions?
Thank you!
EDIT
:) Want to add, that I am intrasted in services with open API that is why I thought its a good idea ask this question at SO...
I guess, Picasa may be an alternative in some way.
Picasa access in android: PicasaUploadActivity
it also seems like panoramio does have an API based on services with responses in JSON
the request will be something like
http://www.panoramio.com/map/get_panoramas.php?order=popularity&set=public&from=0&to=10&minx=-124.29382324218749&miny=36.089060460282006&maxx=-119.8773193359375&maxy=38.724090458956965&callback=MyCallback
