When I use Google search service, the result is somehow odd. Google adds this description below my website link,

But I never added this text no any part of the WordPress or... I don't know. Where does this text come from?
This is my website link.

Probably this:

I am developing an navigation android app that use Skobbler SDK. Currently, the advice received is totally voice data, but I would like to know the name of next path in the route.
Could anyone tell me how can I get the name of the next path when navigating. For example, when I get the instruction is "turn left in 200 meters", how to know what is name of the next path after turn left.
Thanks.
In the 2.3 version, by default the street name is not included in the audio advices - this is due to the fact that we use mp3 files for the audio and street names can not be handled this way.
In 2.4 you will have the possibility of using TextToSpeech as an alternative audio engine so you'll have the possibility of using street names.
What can you do in 2.3?
Handle the didChangeNextStreetName (iOS) callback - this should provide information you are looking for (on Android it's onUpdateNavigationState and call in the SKNavigationState object the getNextAdviceNextStreetName method)
Modify the config file of the advices engine to include the name of the street in the advices (send an email to support for this information)

This may be simple question. But i did quite a bit research on Google, Stack-overflow & ebay for last 2 days before posting here.
Scenario
My company sells items via ebay. I am working on a new listing template (HTML page which describes about selling item).
Please see http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/4x-SAMSUNG-CLP-680DW-680DN-CLP680-CLT-506S-CLT506-506-CLTK-506-TONER-REFILLS-/380697552903
In the listing, blue color portion is the template created by me.
Problem
I have 5 Anchor links (PAYMENTS, POSTAGE & HANDLING, OUR LISTINGS, WARRANTY & RETURNS, CONTACT US) on top of the template, which takes customers quickly to corresponding sections on the listing.
Actually listing template itself is a html file, which we used to modify as per product spec and upload together with ebay listing. All works fine on me local PC.
Once uploaded in to ebay, Ebay amends with some wired URL and navigation doesn't work at all. In ebay, once i hoover over the link, it shows following link,
example for PAYMENT,
http://vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=380697552903&t=1376555146000&tid=-1&category=16204&seller=tonerstop&excSoj=1&rptdesc=1&excTrk=1&lsite=15#pay
I can see # tag is appended correctly. But somehow its not functioning as expected.
Interesting Finding
Adding more complexity, this issue apparently not consistent too. Sometimes it works as well. In some situation it forms a complete different link and works. See example below.
example for PAYMENT,
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/4x-SAMSUNG-CLP-680DW-680DN-CLP680-CLT-506S-CLT506-506-CLTK-506-TONER-REFILLS-/380697552903?#pay
But once you refresh the browser, it stops working again.
Tried Solutions
1.Rename anchor text assuming there may be other anchor text with same name. Didn't work.
2.Tried java script. But its not supported by ebay listing.
3.Looking for slimier template on ebay to see if those working. (Still looking)
Questions
Why its happening intermittently?
Is there any special ebay requirement for anchor texts?
Am i missing (of course) any thing here?
More Info
Issue still exists. Did check with 20+ different vendor's listing.
Had a long chat/email communication with ebay. But couldn't get passed to a developer other than customer support team.
So no choice for me other than to remove all the anchor menus.
I got the same problem and solved it by using another method:
onclick="document.getElementById('XXXXX').scrollIntoView(true); return false;" href="#XXX
etc. like a normal anchor.
Bye!

Is there a mark-up language to describe meanings?

I am curious if there is actually a mark-up language to describe the meanings of a text:
Here some example of what I mean and how it could look like:
<text>Stack Overflow is a programming Q & A site that’s free. Free to ask questions,
free to answer questions, free to read, free to index, built with plain old HTML, no
fake rot13 text on the home page, no scammy google-cloaking tactics, no salespeople, no
JavaScript windows dropping down in front of the answer asking for $12.95 to go away.
You can register if you want to collect karma and win valuable flair that will appear
next to your name, but otherwise, it’s just free. And fast. Very, very fast.</text>
And now I want to add meta-information to it so that i can give the text a meaning:
<mark from="0" to="14" object="Stack Overflow">Stack Overflow is a online community for coders.
The website is: www.stackoverflow.com</mark>
<mark from="20" to="31" object="programming" source="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/programming">
Computer programming (often shortened to programming or coding) is the process of
designing, writing, testing, debugging, and maintaining the source code of computer
programs</mark>
I hope there is already some language out there which I didn't find because of my bad "search"-abilities.
EDIT: I dont mean languages that are actually like HTML.
This is for me a standard html markup:
<p>My really <span class="important">interessting</span> paragraph</p>
I want to enable intersections and describe one part multiple times and not touch the original text like in my example above:
<text>Stack Overflow is a programming Q & A site that’s free. Free to ask questions,
free to answer questions, free to read, free to index, built with plain old HTML, no
fake rot13 text on the home page, no scammy google-cloaking tactics, no salespeople, no
JavaScript windows dropping down in front of the answer asking for $12.95 to go away.
You can register if you want to collect karma and win valuable flair that will appear
next to your name, but otherwise, it’s just free. And fast. Very, very fast.</text>
Now I want to markup "Stack Overflow" at the first line and describe it. Next I want to describe "programming" and tell what this is and next "Q & A" and after that comes a tricky part: I want to describe what a "programming Q & A site" is.
Here something i just make up:
<mark type="description" line="1" from="0" to="15" subject="Stack Overflow" language="English" source="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_overflow">
In software, a stack overflow occurs when too much memory is used on the call stack.
</mark>
<mark type="description" line="1" from="25" to="40" subject="programming" language="English" source="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/programming">
Computer programming (often shortened to programming or coding) is the process of designing, writing, testing, debugging, and maintaining the source code of computer programs.
</mark>
<mark type="alias" line="1" from="42" to="47" subject="Q & A" language="English">
Question and Answer
</mark>
<mark type="description" line="1" from="25" to="52" subject="programming Q & A site" language="English" author="xMRW">
A website that offers people answers on questions related to the subject programming.
</mark>
<mark type="description" line="1" from="25" to="52" subject="programming Q & A site" language="German" author="xMRW">
Das gleiche in Deutsch.

Yes, it's called semantic markup. For an example you can read about RDF.
Start reading this article on Wipikepia about Semantic Web and this introduction about Semantic Markup, they are a good startpoint with many other links and references.

Wiki, it's not really semantic markup but it matches more what you write in your example.

I would like to code a little web site that will contain several sections like "Home", "Gallery", "Contact Us", "FAQs", and so on.
I thought to do this in one HTML by putting each section in a div and show only one div per time (using Javascript / jQuery), based on the chosen menu button.
Alternatively, I could create a separate HTML page per section, and link these pages to the menu buttons.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of these two methods ?
The first method means longer loading times since you have to load everything on the site up front, and it's totally broken for people who have disabled Javascript or whose browsers don't support it. The second method means the user only has to load the content they are actually looking at, and it should work even with non-Javascript browsers.
The main disadvantages that comes to mind for the first method are:
Poor SEO: Google will only see your home page as Google bot doesn't execute javascript.
Back/Forward buttons won't work.
Takes longer time to load initially.
As site becomes bigger, it'd need more memory and might slow down the browser and even the machine
The advantage of the method would be speed, when navigating you don't need a round-trip to the server.
It also has a couple of disadvantages the main ones are;
You can only link to the front-page, not directly to for example the about page because it doesn't have a separate url.
The back button in the user's browser won't work anymore.
The Advantages of the Javascript solution are mainly that you dont need to reload the page which is very nice for the user.
On the other hand you have the visitors with javascript disabled who wont be able to load the different pages. Also you cannot navigate over Javascript pages with the browser's back and forth buttons.
The last thing I see is that your code could become messy if you're not very careful and organized.
SEO for one thing - Googlebot will likely only ever index the home page, and your other pages will be effectively invisible to search engines.

How to get a description of a URL

I have a list of URLs and am trying to collect their "descriptions." By description I mean what comes up, for example, if you Googled the link. For example, http://stackoverflow.com">Google: http://stackoverflow.com shows the description as
A language-independent collaboratively
edited question and answer site for
programmers. Questions and answers
displayed by user votes and tags.
This the data I'm trying to accumulate for the URLs I have.
I tried parsing the URL's meta-descriptions, however most of them are lacking a meta-description (yet Google and other search engines manage to get a description somehow).
Any ideas? Should I just "google" each link and scrape the data? I have a feeling Google wouldn't like this...
Thanks guys.
Different search engines have different algorithms to get the description out of the page if/when they are lacking the description meta tag. Some ignore the tag even it it's there.
If you want the description Google has, the most accurate way to get it would be to scrape it. Otherwise, you could write your own or look around on the web for code that does it.
These are called snippets.
Google use proprietary (and possibly patented) methods to garner this information, so there is no simple answer.
As you suggest, they will use meta-description information if it is there. (How to set the meta-information to help Google.)
They will also honour requests from the page authors to NOT include snippets. (How to prevent Google from displaying snippets) You should probably respect this too (as well as robots.txt, of course.)
You may have some luck with existing auto-summary packages, such as OTS.
You may want to check AboutUs.org (i.e. http://www.aboutus.org/StackOverflow.com).
But, there's little chance that the site will have an aboutus page and not have a meta description.
Some info that might explain how google does this:
Webmasters/Site owners Help
Adding a URL to google
I am not familiar with Google APIs, but perhaps there is an official way to get such information.
Interesting. some sources are better than others.
For "audiotuts.com" google has a worse description than AboutUs.com.

I hate problems like these... they should be trivial but they aren't!
If you can assume English content, you can first look for Meta Description, and if that doesn't work, you can look for the first two or three sentence-like word sequences.
A product I worked on looked for the first P or DIV that contained more than one sequence of > n "words" delimited by periods. It would use the two or three sentence-like sequences, up to x total words, as a summary paragraph. It wasn't 100% accurate, but good enough for the average case. The number of words was adjusted a few times to eliminate things like navigation elements.
