Make HiQuality video with your Photos

2012-01-04T19:35:00.000-08:00

This 2012 i'm bit busy on making videos for web and while digging through different sources, i came across a wonderful site "Animoto". It's a rocking site for the people who love to capture photos and have desire to make videos out of them.

As you know, videos now a days are beast and are virally shared most on internet. In other word, videos are easily digestible than all other forms like text & images.

Recently, I captured few of my own images in my mobile and i wanted to share them with my readers but one thing always restricted me to do so.. that was, why people gona see my images? There must be something valuable in it..

So came with an idea of making a well presentable informative video out of my own images. And that worked!

Many people not only viewed my video but also reshared because of the tips i added about "how to become an expert".

Here's it it! Check out my video..

I created the above video with Animoto. If you want to make similar kind of attractive video out of your photo then you can give a try.

How can this book be useful?
I personally don't consider this book as a normal book because it's a kind of task book or a routine sketch of successful bloggers.

It consists of the case studies of the bloggers who have achieved success in different niches and even Darren himself posses a better example. All the "things to do" and "things not to do" in blogging are mentioned clearly.

Flipkart strange shopping experience

2011-11-11T10:02:00.001-08:00

You’ve read my posts on homeshop18 shopping experience.. And this time, I had a serious face-to-face with flipkart. I really respect this indian online shopping brand Flipkart which gives Hi-Quality product at a very cheap price.

On 9th November 2011, I was searching for a hi-quality video camera to capture my video entries. So, I been to different suggestion places like Yahoo answer, Quora, etc… and atlast, a guys over Quora referred me to a cheaper $100 webcam which shoot HD videos. The resolution of the webcam is too high .i.e. 1080dpi. That’s really great! anyway, I’ll someday write a review about that webcam. Lets back to the main topic!

So, I searched the Webcam “Logitech C910” over flipkart and found that $100 product at only Rs.457. I was really surprised with such a cheap price and was excited to order it. But was still not sure about the displayed price tag so I took its screenshot and tweeted @flipkart about it and even shot an email to the customer service querying about its cheaper price. I got in reply from them appealing that “There are absolutely no hidden charges when you make a purchase with Flipkart.” So, now no one was there to stop me…

Without wasting my time, I quickly placed an order on that product with credit card. After the order successfully placed, I got an order no. And even the order status displayed “Payment Successfully Authorized”. I was really very excited to receive it earlier.. So on the very next day, I tweeted flipkart asking about my current order status. hmm… now there came a twist!

I got a call from them! They told me that the price of the product was Rs. 4500 which is far high than that of the money deducted from my credit card (.i.e. R457) and they told me the reason which was a technical error. And I got bit disappointed with them.. It’s very natural that you’ve expected to get a delivery of a product you recently ordered and now you’re asked to “cancel” it because of their technical problem or the problem with their price tag.

At first, I was fixed to my decision for not canceling the order like a pole star and asked them to send me that particular product with the amount I ordered because it was totally their technical fault not mine… and even I didn’t hesitated to pay them.

I too warned them to blog about flipkart bad shopping experience and re-pointed out their following “faults”:

displaying of wrong price tag.
no information to the customer about their technical error.
accepting of payment and issuing an order no.
wrong information from the customer service about the product.
no reply to my tweets.

He accepted their fault and showed his humble apology, which cooled down my anger.

At last, it was my emotion and my love for their trustworthy brand, which forced me to cancel my order and accept their concession of Rs. 500 stroke credit which they offered me to buy any of their product within that amount. So, I ordered 4 books of Rs. 498.

If I had forced them for that product, then they would have bound to give me coz everything was in my favor, but my heart which stopped me to do so…

Now you say me, whether i took a wrong decision or a correct one.. what do you think?

Interview: Craig Martin, The Co-Host of Travel Podcast Blog

2011-10-23T00:48:00.000-07:00

An interview with a Co-Host of an Award Wining Travel Podcast Blog “Indie Travel Podcast ” - Craig Martin. He and his wife Linda is running this blog since 2006. They share their tips to the travelers for better and less price traveling experiences, in their blog…

They traveled more than 40 countries and has far better experience in travelling… Here in this interview, i got to know many new things about how they started this online radio show blog and at end of the interview he also shared “traveling safety tips”… Don’t miss it!

The are featured in PC Magazine, Podfinder UK, Alltop's travel section, the final ten of travel section in the Podcast Peer Awards, top 10 for the Bloggers Choice Awards for Best Podcast and won the the Best Podcast category in Lonely Planet's travel blog awards. -Great!!!

The interview begins, Enjoy!

Why you thought of taking the blog platform to conduct your online radio show or online podcasting?
We started Indie Travel Podcast in 2006 after we had spent six months traveling around Europe. We considered starting a magazine site or a blog to share our tips and what we learned, but we decided to make it a podcast because not many people were making travel podcasts and it sounded interesting. We chose WordPress to create it because of some excellent podcasting plugins and integration options.

I found that you traveled many places... Did you traveled those places only for your blogs content or for spending Holidays?
It's not really work or holidays; it's our lifestyle. We have been traveling full-time for over four years now and visited over 40 countries. We're always taking photos and video, and using the internet to publish our stories and audio programmes. It's good fun.

Do you feel like a RJ, when you are talking in the internet radio show?
Not really. It's very lo-tech! We have a portable microphone and we often sit in a hostel room or sometimes outside and just talk about that day's topic. We also use Skype to interview other travelers and interesting people around the world.

What type of advertisement you mainly use on your blog to earn money? Any Voice ads?
We use banner ads, affiliate programmes and Adsense/Chitika as well as audio spots on the podcast. Since we won the Lonely Planet "Best Podcast" award, we have had lots more interest from new audience members and from worldwide travel advertisers.

You And Linda is running this blog... but who first got the idea of this "Travel" Blog Topic?
I think that was my idea, but Linda really helped bring it to life, along with another friend Paul. Paul created the first version of the website for us and provided free hosting for our first year or two. Now, I'm still the driving force, and Linda the balancing force.

Common Tips you like to give the readers about "traveling safely"... Traveling safely?
I think a little common sense plus research can be really helpful. We were recently "attacked" in La Paz, Bolivia, where a man threw a gel on my friends' bags then a man in a suit told them their bags were smelly and they should take them off. Because we had all read about this scam (the criminals would steal the bags when they took them off ) they were able to keep moving to a place of safety. In general, the world is quite a safe place: don't panic about leaving home! Go and explore! We try not to put ourselves in danger, and seldom have had any problems in over four years of travel.

Ragu Sir, Ranvijay & VJ Bani's Feedback about me! - Roadies 9

Roadies Audition behind the scene

2011-09-21T10:55:00.001-07:00

First of all thanks to BlogAdda and Gayatri (of @viacom) who had been our coordinator for a day to Roadies journey.

I’m feeling myself lucky for being a part of such a great event .i.e. MTV Roadies kolkata audition. I was among the 3 bloggers who were selected for the day.

The night before the audition was really the difficult one coz I couldn’t sleep out of excitement. Morning, we 3 selected bloggers reached Swabhumi where we met Gayatri, always smiling and she guided us to enter different gates. She was always attending us and kept rescuing us wherever we’re blocked by the guards.

Tough Security

Believe me, the security over the audition gates were very tough and I must appreciate those crew members and guards who were controlling the crowd.

Received a Press Pass..

We were continuously asking Gayatri for a Press Pass, the reason we gave her was quite different from what I was thinking. Actually, I wanted to show off the participants telling them that we are from “Press” and we need active replies from them.

Atlast we received 3 press passes and each of us hung it on our neck to show others that we’re from “PRESS”. We’re really feeling great that time…

New Technology “Finger print scanner connected to Facebook and Twitter.”

Finger print scanner present over there was something which took my attention. It was not a simple finger-print scanner but a tool to update your twitter or facebook status, which shares your current roadies position with your friends. Mean to say, if you’re on the desk filling the form and whenever you scan your finger, your friends knows that you’re in the roadies audition desk. And again when you’re entering the GD room, your friends are notified after a finger scan. Likewise, every levels of audition has such scanners working the same.

The Finger print Scanner.

Captured the Participants – Asked Question.

We guys wearing press cards looking good but feeling bit uncomfortable to reach the participants to ask them questions. But later Rakesh, Agnivo and I gained confidence and interviewed few of the participants. A common question “Why you want to be a Roadie?” ..

A participant faced our camera and we also gave him a small task to perform. Check the below video:

A participant named Vinay Jaiswal.

Here’s a Duplicate Raghu from Kharagpur:

Time for the Blast!

Ya, it was a time for blast when Gayarti told us that the two Indian Bulls are free sitting at producer’s room along with Ranvijay and vj Bani after the press release.

We rushed toward the producer’s room and it was the time I exclaimed …. OMG! they’re there. @# . I can’t believe my own eyes that they’re the roadie kings. 4 of them were discussing and I was standing back of Ranvijay and facing Raghu, Rajeev and vj Bani. I quickly hold my camera in one hand and kept the other hand over Ranvijay’s shoulder and suddenly he turned around and said me “Hello!” and I excitedly replied “Hi!” … and in a second Rajeev came forward with his hand for a shake, I did the same back.

We bloggers started getting friendly with them and were enjoying their company.

Ranvijay & Bani’s Laughed on my PJ’s.

We guys had a smiling pic.

Raghu told me to promise for supporting the show if I feel the guys are working hard… and I promised him.

Ya, From my point of view… Roadies is a show which can’t run without hard work and I feel the whole roadies team is working hard and I honestly support them.

And I had a friendly discussion with Rajeev about “blogging” … The conversation with him was in “Hindi” and I think it was the worst hindi I ever spoke- mixed with bengali. Hehehehe!!

And this is how the day came to an end and I reached my home .. called up my friends and told about my experience with MTV Roadies.

Happy to announce that I’m thinking to start an unofficial blog about “roadies”. Preparing for that!

Magical Touch connects the Dots, That’s what Galaxy 750

2011-08-24T17:48:00.000-07:00

Waving away fingers over a tablet is a fun time for me. It might be cutting of fruits with colorful blades (fruit Ninja) or tweeting out updates through twitter app. All I do with few smooth touches of finger.

The extraordinary build up of Samsung Galaxy 750 has enabled me to connect all the dots with my finger touch.

(Imaging Myself as a Lucky Galaxy 750 User)

My Tablet collects all my dots when I wake up to start a fresh day.. As I’m a pure gadget lover and is highly dependent on it, I consider each gadget as my true friend.. it doesn’t mean that I don’t have real friends but these gadgets fills up the space of my friends when they’re not with me.

As I consider gadgets as my friends and through out my digital friend circle my Desktop, Samsung Corby phone, my electric guitar.. Samsung Galaxy 750 is the most closest one because it never leaves me alone and even, I can’t live without it for a single second.

Every Morning it Begins like that,

Tring! Tring! … Sounds common? actually it’s the ringing sound of my Alarm which my Tablet utters to wake me up. Not only that, it vibrates to shake my pillow to let me know that “Hey! it’s morning and you should wake up”.

Then I Wake up and Pick it out of my pillow (maximum time, it hides itself inside the pillow cushion but I finds it out without any obstrucle because I can feel its heart beats .i.e. its beep for low battery charge . ) I set it for charging.

Morning Prayer Starts: Thanks to its Prayer App, which gives me a fresh breathe and divine sound. I reach to heaven for minutes while hearing the prayer of hindu gods.

Bathing Activities…
Secret Moment!! By Throwing out my Night Shirt and Pant, I go for completing all Sh*ting jobs and then to have a pure bath.

After puring myself with the sweet water of Ganga (home supply water of calcutta) I go for meditation which keeps me fresh through out the day.

Meditation: Again, I connect myself with my close friend galaxy 750. It plays the meditation musics for me from the Album “Songs from a Secret Garden”. I really love to hear those series of soft violin music.

Anyway, meditation completes with a smooth flow of pure blood on my body. Now, I prepare myself for the daily activities.

Study Books: I’m a school student of 12th standard and I usually prefer to go through the book pages faster and the search box above my pdf reader helps me to find the topic faster. Actually, I’ve added the pdf version of my NECRT books on my tablet, which I downloaded from their official website.

Believe me, study becomes more interesting when I go through the digital pages with my samsung galaxy tab. All I use my touch to peel out the textbook pages.

Note Taking: While going through my chapters, I quickly note down the most important terms and extents their meanings inside brackets.

Things become more easier and the concepts get more simpler later when I go through my notes and bullet points. And sometime, we friends share our notes online which benefits both for exam preparation. We together complete our school powerpoint presentation through mutual contribution.

School Time:
Oh! now, I feel like departing away from my dear friends for 6 hours because I spend those time over school. Digital things are restricted in the school premises so I can’t take my digibuddy along with me. It actually waits for me till I come back from school.

Back to Home at 3:30 pm.
Just after entering my bed room, i pick up digibuddy and roll my finger all over its glossy screen. It feels good to see the colors splitting out to start…

Over Stressed – Gaming’s there:
Fruit Ninja.. that’s my favorite game and it also works as a stress buster for me. Cutting out fruits like a samurai and getting points for it.. Continuously checking out the the Leaderboard for breaking the highest score. Till date, I crossed 460 points (score) shame on me!

Taking Rest with a Music at Background:
Then I switch-on my Music player or an online radio and plug my tablet to a 2.5 sub-woofer (coz I don’t have home theatres) and enjoy the songs in the playlist.. along with it, I take my afternoon rest.

5 0’clock! I’m Ready to write a Post.
As I’m a part–time blogger, I love to write.. so, 5:00 to 6:30 is my blogging time and I sometime extend it to 8:00 pm for which I get a lot of scolding from my mom. She always suggest me to set a particular time for study which I usually mess up for my blog. But I complete my homeworks on time .i.e on 11th hour and overcome my daily study burdens..

7:00 pm to 9:30 or sometime 8:00 to 9:00 pm is my study time where I go through my pdf reader on my digifriend (Samsung Galaxy Tab 750). After that, I connect with my online presence, checking emails, connecting friends over facebook and interacting with my readers over twitter.

Use of Application:
I use Twitter app over the tab to connect but I don’t like the facebook app because it’s very slow.. so, instead I visit facebook main site to check out my notifications (sometime counts 15-16 notifications). Then commenting and liking friends status and posts. Sometime I go through the notes.

Then Tweeting out some interesting tweets and reply’in the @mentioned tweets.

One app which go active for 24/7 is “FourSquare”. Becoming mayor of different public is fun for me, so wherever I travel with my tablet, I get badges and my connected friend easily traces me out.

Before going to bed, I get around 45 minutes of time in my hand which I utilize by reading my favorite blogs. I added those blogs over my rss readers.. Blogs that I go through daily are lifehacker and zenhabits.

11:30 Bed Time..
My eyes takes my permission for rest and I give them… And I jump above my bed and switch-off my light and put back my galaxy 750 inside my pillow, then start zzzZZZ (sleeping). Here my day ends and again the next day begins with a fresh energy..

Hey! Check the webcast of the Galaxy Tab 750's launch

So, guys.. how’ my Life?

How you can release your own Daily Newspaper over Twitter?

2011-06-16T10:38:00.000-07:00

You're in Twitter for months but you're not having any interesting tweet to share with your followers. Keep in mind, that active followers follow you to get something useful. And if your tweets are not useful, then why they gona follow you?

Digital Newspaper

Actually, everyone have their own objective of using Twitter: Some use twitter to chat, some use it for spreading awareness and some for sharing their interesting and useful tweets.

If we take example of bloggers like Darren Rowse, they always share worth links of their quality blog articles which makes their Twitter Profile Worth Following.. That's not essential that you need to be a blogger to use Twitter or everytime you need to share your own articles.

Just Two day ago, i started using a cool Digital Newspaper. After, my first paper release, many got subscribed to it and some even appreciated my Newspaper's News collection. Actually, i used Paper.li, It's a site that allows you to create your own Digital Newspaper but an interesting thing is that, you don't have to publish your own articles.

Your only work is to Follow the People who share great links on their Tweet Stream because paper.li picks up the best links from your following and arrange it automatically according to their Popularity.

Extra "Not Now" Option to block a Facebooker for Future Friend Request

2011-06-12T07:55:00.000-07:00

An Extra Option added to Facebook "Not Now" button which may resist future friend requests from an unknown facebook user.

As you know, facebook makes your friend request hidden when you mark a friend request as "not now" but there's also an extra option added to "not now". That is, it displays a question, asking you "Do you know (Name) outside of Facebook?" and gives you two option "Yes" or "No". If you confirm "yes", then it'll keep the request hidden and later you can accept the request. But if you confirm "no", then it may resist that user for future friend request.

Find Duplicate piece of Image and Texual Contents

2011-05-19T01:54:00.000-07:00

(Image Credit)

An Indiblogger member name Sourav Pandey was found guilty. He won several Indiblogger contests and recently indiblogger team found that most of his contest winning post were the work of others.. He was a Copycat who used to copy other people's work and presented it in his own blog.

I remember of Kolkata Indiblogger meet, where i jokingly introduced myself as a copycat to its founder Renie Ravin and for a second he was shocked to hear my such voice.

But just think about the situation when Renie found his own contest winner as a copycat. He really felt damn...

So, i just want to tell you that if you are organizing an online contest for creative people then always do investigation before releasing the winner's name.

So, how can you investigate about it in such a vast world wide web?
If you are thinking the same then i have the solution for it..

You can use the below online free tools to investigate whether the submitted works are real or not..

For Writing Work:
Duplicate writing work can easily be identified with these below tools..

Copyscape: If you want to know whether a writing piece is a copy of others work, then copyscape is a best solution for you because copyscape search throughout the web for the duplicate piece of any textual content.

Search the Phrase over Google: You can pick up a phrase from the writing work and search it over Google to Find the Duplicate content of it..

For Image Work:
If you have received any sorts of Image work then don't worry because you can even search for its duplicate.

Use TinyEye: This web tool is very helpful to search for similar image over the web. It uses its hi-tech image detection technology to find the images throughout the web.

Last thing, i wana say you - "Wake Up!"

Create a Story using Social Media

2011-05-17T23:46:00.000-07:00

Here I found an interesting site called Storify, which allows you to create stories using social media. Only with little bit of good presentation of the tweets, videos, images and descriptions.. you can create a wonderful story.

This site is very useful and easy to use. All you need to do is search the topic over different social media like twitter, facebook, youtube, flickr, google, web links and storify itself. Collect the information from them and drag it over a single page.
Add some description and some textual information for making the story more spicy... That's All! You've created an informative story.

Now, you can even embed the story over your blog post and tweet it out to your followers or share it over facebook... Do whatever you want to spread your story.

I really loved this Site... Nice concept for realtime story sharing!

How Storify Works?
Below i've embedded a storify to explain you better about it and to give you an example of its embed feature.

Know about Google Trends for Traffic

2011-05-16T21:15:00.000-07:00

Some blogs are living with trendy traffics. Specially, the news, jobs & result notification blogs.

If your blog is little bit old and you maintain a good frequency of update then you can easily drive traffic from Search Trends.

Articles related to the Trendy keywords are treated as realtime result, so google make a quick listing of the recently published articles of that subject on the web.

How to Identify a Popular Trend?

Just keep your eyes on the trend page for knowing the latest search trends, but all the trends listed on that page are not so popular.. Therefore, you can identify the most popular trend with its "Hotness".

We can measure the popularity of the trend keyword with its "Hotness rating".

There are Three Types of Hotness Ratings:
Volcanic:
This hotness shows that the Keyword is being searched most. Thousands and Thousands of People are searching for this Keyword on Google.
On fire:
This Hotness Keyword popularity is good but not like the Volcanic Hotness but still around 8K people may be searching with this keyword.
Spicy:
This hotness shows that the keyword is little bit popular and 3K+ people may be searching with this keyword.
Medium:
This hotness shows that 1K-2K people may be searching on this keyword.
Mild:
Few of hundreds of people are only searching for something with a trendy keyword.

These above hotness are arranged in Higher to Lower list, when listed over the Google Trend Page (http://www.google.com/trends).

I tried my Best to explain you the hotness Popularity, by comparing it with the number of people searching.

So, keep creating quality content on the trendy subject for reaching thousands of traffics.. Just keep in mind, with trends you can only gain traffic not readers, therefore always try to attract real readers with your well written quality contents.

When i get new Ideas? and how i keep them Alive?

2011-05-11T11:16:00.000-07:00

You can't force your mind to get new ideas whenever you want.

Simply No one can... not even the Extra Brilliant People.

No one can force his mind for new ideas because ideas come when your mind really wants it.. And your mind seeks for new ideas when it is in a stress free environment.

I usually get new Ideas when i'm bathing - My Bathroom is my Idea Generator and i get some awesome ideas daily while bathing.

I get Ideas when i'm in my bed to sleep - Before i go to deep sleep, i encounter with some random ideas... Sometime it takes away my whole sleepy mood.

The reason, i get new ideas at these two particular place because of the stress free environment. In other word, you can say that a Stress Free Environment is the fuel of Creative Idea Generator.

But ideas stay in my mind for a less period of time, so i quickly note them down on a notepad or a mobile device (whichever i find near to me).

Ideas comes in bulk, so it is difficult to remember every single idea. Therefore, noting of ideas quickly when it strikes your mind, is the best way to retain it.

Brief Note:

When i get new Ideas?
1.) Bathing Time
2.) Sleeping Time.
3.) Coffee Time (Extra)

How i keep them Alive?
1.) Noting it down in a Notepad.
2.) Noting it randomly in a Whiteboard.
3.) Note down the ideas in Mobile Devices.

For a blogger, the most difficult part of blogging is collecting information for his next blog post. Without new information, you can't write unique content.

Every blogger have their own news sources. They keep on visiting those sources for some hot & unique information on the subject they love to read and write. Even, i have my own sources of information from where i gather news on daily basis.

Without it, none of the blogger do have anything to share with readers? So, always keep some fixed information sources from where you'll surely find atleast one unique stuff.

Let me share about how i collect information, so as to write post on daily basis..

1. BuzzFeed.com - This site helps me to collect buzzing viral videos, images and news. These awesome daily viral stuffs are for my twitter follower, who are always waiting to retweet those tweets.
BuzzFeed creates hundreds of content daily because it is contributed publicly.
Even, if you have a humor blog or an entertainment blog, buzzfeed can be one of your best source of content.

2. Google Trend - Go Trendy over the Web. If your blog is looking for trendy traffic then Google Trend can be your best source of information. It shows you the most searched term over google- few minutes ago, which can give you an idea about creating some new content on trendy topics to receive trendy traffics.

An interesting thing about Trending Topic is that, your blog post can get a quick listing on that search result because google looks for the real-time result for trendy keyword.

3. Google Alert - This tool is used by most of the niche bloggers. That means if you are concentrating on a single topic, then you can set alert on few "Keywords" to keep on tracking about its news over web and when any news is published on it, you'll be the first to be informed through email alerts.

4. Expert Blogs - I read them a lot.. If your blog is all about solving deep problem of a particular subject, then you can read the expert's blog to keep yourself updated about their research.

Your observation and Explanation can be your next blog post.
Best Expert Blogs: Digital Inspiration, Matt Cutts, CopyBlogger.

5. Question and Answer Sites - Best Information source for those who wants to know the public views about any question asked publicly. If you even have any question on your mind, then you can ask it publicly and let public to solve your problem.

The Questions asked over Question & Answer Sites can be your next blog post topic because they're the question on demand and your duty is to solve those out.
Best Q/A Site: Yahoo Answers, Quora, Ask.com .

6. Techmeme - Techmeme spotlights the hottest tech stories from all around the web on a single page. It helps me to keep me updated with latest technology news.

7. Twitter - Last thing you can do is track the popular brands, people and experts over twitter and grab the fresh & hottest news..

These above are some of my great information sources, from i collect my next blog posts ideas..

Blog Post after Death! - An Important day in Blogging History

2011-05-06T11:04:00.000-07:00

First time in Blogging History, a man published a blog post after his death. The Last only post of his life.

Derek K. Miller, from Canada was an active blogger since 2000. For 11 years, he was a web writer and today its all ended. This Active Website is now a Web Archive.

He was actually suffering from Cancer, that cause his death.

Even, his last post was written by him, may be few days before May 3, 2011.

He Started the post with Heart Touching Words:

Here it is. I'm dead, and this is my last post to my blog. In advance, I asked that once my body finally shut down from the punishments of my cancer, then my family and friends publish this prepared message I wrote—the first part of the process of turning this from an active website to an archive.

His Last Words about the World (Last Post):

The world, indeed the whole universe, is a beautiful, astonishing, wondrous place. There is always more to find out. I don't look back and regret anything, and I hope my family can find a way to do the same.

My deepest condolences go out to his wife, children and family.

How i Send Back my Defective Product to HomeShop18?

2011-05-03T13:08:00.000-07:00

I had shared my bad shopping experience and now i'd like to share my experience of sending back the defective good for replacement to Homeshop18.

After i have complained about my defective product , they responded me back and gave me a toll-free number of "TNT courier" where i called up for replacing the product..

TNT Courier asked me to give the (Account Code) of Homeshop18 and requested me for providing the order number, product details, the problem with the product and my address. Accordingly, i gave them all the details..

They told me that their man will visit my home between 4-6 pm to receive the product and asked me to pack it up, but the man from courier came earlier than that.. I was really impressed!

The Product Sending for Replacement Process was very smooth and they successfully took it away right from my home..

Recently, I got a call from Homeshop18 about my blog post, expressing sorry for their product quality, assuring me to send back a quality product replacing the previous one..

I added, if they send me a quality product i'll give them a positive feedback.

But i'm still not happy with them because they took away my happiest time. My birthday was on 27th April and i ordered it on 23rd and it's now 2nd may but i don't have my watch in my hand... I sometime even feel like asking them for an extra gift because they took away my happiest time... :-( but my heart resists me to do so...

Soon after receiving my product, i'll let you know about its quality... Stay Connected.

HomeShop18 Bad Shopping Experience

2011-04-28T22:52:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, i received my product from HomeShop18 and believe me it was in worst condition. The Packing was Good but the product... Oh! it was horrible.

Actually, i brought a Fast Track Watch worth Rs.2,000 from HomeShop18. I brought it on 23rd April and with so much of waiting i received it on 28th April. They took almost 6 days to deliver my product from Mumbai to Kolkata. I don't think, i ever waited so much time when i purchased from Ebay. Believe me, Ebay delivers more faster than this HomeShop18.

Anyway, forget about the delivering time took by it.. Lets talk about the product.

The watch i received, was totally torn from the side and even it was not at all working properly! :( They really disappointed me alot! I never had such a bad online shopping experience.

I believe, if online buyers goes on receiving such worthless products, then they will loose faith on online shopping.

Let me again Point Out the Problem that i faced while shopping from them...

Late Receiving of Product.
Product Box is totally below Standard ( They gave me the Fast Track Watch in an old cardboard instead of the original steel box.)
The Product Condition was Worst.
Last but not the least, The Watch is not working at all.

So, i contacted them and explained my problems. They told me that they'll replace it and gave some set information regarding the replacement of the product. In my next post, i'll share my experience regarding the replacement of the product. (Everything will be shared publicly)

Update:
Video showing my Product Quality..

Free Google Apps for Business will not allow to create more than 10 Users

2011-04-28T22:18:00.000-07:00

Generally, Google Apps allows all organizations to create unlimited number of users. If you're the an existent free user of Google Apps then you might be experiencing almost unlimited number of user creation. But now Google is going to limit, and will not allow to create more than 10 users for new customers.

Right from May 10, any organization that will signs up for only Paid Google Apps for Business, will be allowed to create more than 10 users.

But if you are an existing free user of Google Apps then, this change will not effect you and you'll be not charge for the 10+ users, based on the limit in place when you joined it.

How to find Daily Blog Post Topics?

2011-04-27T01:19:00.000-07:00

Choosing blog post topics are very difficult because you need to come up daily with some new things to write. The same problem is with everyone, even me. But did you every noticed how few bloggers come with some quality articles daily and even some have uniqueness in it. And that's why they are called a Real Blogger.

But if you dig your topic honestly, then these problems will not be a big problem. These kind of problems generally float ups for mainly two reason: 1) Least Knowledge on the Topic 2) Less Research on that Topic.

Just keep in mind that no one is expert but honest researches makes them expert on that subject.

Before Writing a Post, always research deeply on that Topic. If you know about the subject, you can easily write about it.. Blog Writing is not a big deal if you have nice English speaking skill because here in blogging, you write as you talk.

It takes only 15 mins to write a small post of 200-300 post, if you have done a good research on that topic for 2 hours.

What i mean by research?
Being a Blogger, research for me is all about collecting information about something that i'm going to write. You can broadly divide it into two part : 1) Post by Experience 2) Post by Collecting Textual information, by stumbling different sites article.

1) Post by Experience:
Generally, post by experience is based on your hand touch experience of any product or any problem that you successful solved. You write about your experience abouts anything that you successfully experimented with. These kind of articles are very much trusted and one of the main reason why people read blogs. The Trust these kind of articles because they can know the pros and cons of the product or the successful result of experiment conducted by the blogger.

2) Collecting Textual information by stumbling different sites' article.
These are most common kind of research conduct by bloggers but research quality differs.. Maximum Newbie blogger reads one or two articles on a particular subject and writes about it. According to me, such written article are not worthy because the knowledge limit of that blogger ends up to a limit. How much information you can expect from one or two articles? Less information generally leads to duplicacy of the content.

The Real Bloggers/ Probloggers always do deep research on a subject they are covering to write in their post. They always have an intention to write a quality post that effectively solves the problems of their readers. If their research is on collecting information, then they stumble different sites. They read 5-7 articles on that particular subject to suck the complete juice of information and writing about that topic becomes very easy to cover.

After all, running a quality blog is very time consuming specially when you had chosen it for part-time. It takes atleast 3-4 hours for writing a worthy content but don't you think, it's very less time consuming then that of a full time 8-9 hours job?

Google Farmer (Google Panda) may lower your Blog Ranking

2011-04-25T22:42:00.000-07:00

Back in 2010, internet giant Google was flooded with enormous amount of content of many low quality sites which gave low quality search results. The war of content creation among blogs have greatly effected the search engine.

For reducing the low quality contents from its search results, google has introduced Google Farmer (also named as Google Panda), a latest update of Google algorithm for displaying quality search results.

The name of the updates is Google Farmer because its work is very similar to the Farmers' work. As, farmers always try their best to keep their crops clean by removing dead crops, adding pesticides, etc, likewise Google's new algorithm works to keep its search result clean by removing the low quality contents.

In other word, we can say that its new algorithm update is to stop the "content farming" or reducing the ranks of the websites with loads of words that are relevant to what users are googling for, but have no good information. Although, the exact algorithm is not public.

This time, Google is Digging deep into your content of the page. It will also look after the sites where you have linked and who linked to you.

Almost every content hub sites are effected by panda. Here below are few of them...

Ezine Articles
Hub Pages
eHow, etc..

A long list of effected sites are there, but above mentioned sites are highly effected by this algorithm.

Some reasons why Panda may lower your blog rank:

Non Relevant Content:
The Content on your blog must be somehow related to your main blog topic. Stop creating the contents which may not interest your readers and can even confuse search engine to list you in a particular keyword result. Now Panda update is very much restricting these non-relevant content blogs.
Duplicate Content:
Never ever Copy others' content.. Search engine can easily find the duplicate contents leading a bad impression on your blog. The new update may even remove your blog from the search result, if it finds 30% duplicate content than that of your original content.
Poorly Written Content:
As i told, this time google is looking deep into your content quality. Therefore, low quality contents, wrong information, posts with lots of mistake are not tolerated. If it find any bad content, it will remove the blog from the result.
High Ads to Ratio:
Keep your blog clean! Highlight more on content than that of the advertisements. Don't flood your blog with ads.. one ad is sufficient.

Twitter is the most popular site where many bloggers, company, celebrities and proffesionals are depend on. Huge ammount of of money are daily spend by the rich twitterers to gain more popularity and followers, but what about those small tweeterers? Are they not able to gain followers?

Aims that Bloggers Always wants to Achieve for Money!

2010-01-09T02:23:00.000-08:00

More than millions of Bloggers are posting their blog post daily but only 10 percent of them are success in blogging world but rest of them are still working hard to achieve their Goal of Success...

Why peoples want to become a blogger?
If the time they spent in the blogging are used in other profession then they may have got a fixed monthly income but they still sticking with their computer screen and typing all the time, tweeting, commenting, digging, stumbling, reading the popular bloggers success and many more activities that gains traffic, popularity and quality content to their blog.

The Blogging platform is chosen by the maximum users because blogging is the most easiest way of earning by just sitting in front of the home computer. And if we talk about the money amount then i must say you that you can earn much better than your job or much more than that!

But to reach in the position of high earning money from the blog, you must reach to that level that the blogger like Darren of Problogger or the Yaro Starak of Entrepreneurs-Journey.com . These mentioned bloggers earns more than $10,000-$30,000 per annnum, which is really a big amount. Just think if you live in India and you earns $3000 per month then you will receive around Rs. 137,399.56 INR. There a blogger named Harsh Agarwal of ShoutMeLoud who earns such amount of money through blogging.

I can't say that only the popular bloggers earns money but the money also generates by the small bloggers too... they use Adsense, Chitika, and others different Advertisements and combines them to receive a sufficient amount of money. But do you think that earning a normal amount can compare with your Salaries? And who knows that later in the future Bloggers competition may keep you back and unsuccessful!

So, the money is generally the main thing that the bloggers wants to achieve in his or her blogging carrier. But in spite of money, the blogger also wants Popularity, Followers, Interviews in many popular blogs and at last but not the least- The Quality Contents.

I just want to say- always write the Quality Posts on your blog, so that your readers starts trusting on you and always ready to do anything for you- even can buy your products.

I am not sure, it might be my connection slow problem.

Not only that, they even had reduced the amount of their Twitter Tweets, which earlier i noticed around 17,000 is now a little of 400 tweets. All predated tweets are deleted.

This shows that Mashable is again having fresh and attractive contents! Nothing is old in this blog and their readers too enjoying the new design as well as its newly pattern of article display.

2009-12-16T20:34:00.000-08:00

Around three months a ago google launched fast flip hosted over the Google Labs. Fast Flip is acctually a fast browsing news pages option, where a user can quickly browse the many pages of the Popular news paper just like a real newspaper or magazine.

After getting a good feedbacks from the users of Google, it is now going to have a great move. More than three dozens of Publishers have joined Google Flip and they had already added around two dozens of the News over the Fast Flip.

They Officially wrote on their blog:
"two dozen publishers representing more than 50 newspapers, magazines, web outlets, news wires and TV and radio broadcasters. Some of the new sources include Tribune Co. newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune, McClatchy Company newspapers such as the Miami Herald and the Kansas City Star, the Huffington Post, Popular Science, Reuters, Public Radio International, POLITICO and U.S. News & World Report. Now you can use Fast Flip to engage with content from even more of your favorite news outlets in an innovative way, and continue to explore topics covered by a diverse group of sources. And, through the mobile version, you can flip through all these new articles on your Android-powered device or iPhone."

They are seeking for more other publishers to make it more bigger and they opened a feedback option for the Users for the improvement.

I think that this new product of Google will caputure a huge number of online users and it will also benefit the publishers with more impressions and audience.

Do Bloggers like to read Articles?

2009-12-14T10:23:00.000-08:00

Do you think that bloggers like to read writing or he is needed to read articles for writing? It is really an interesting question i generally ask myself, so i thought of writing a post on it. I am not so popular blogger but can tell you that other popular bloggers also do not read for writing and even they don't like to read, Rob Sutton also wrote a post showing his dislike for reading . I can also say that they don't left no time for reading, after publishing a new post.

Without Reading how can they write about the product or the things?
Bloggers don't need to read a lot to write the article because they just gather the information from different sources and write about that article on their own words. Even i do the same.... Whenever a product or a news came off, i straightly start experimenting on it and write about it. Writing about anything after performing an experiment is a perfect idea for writing, by doing so, you can have the full idea of what you are writing.. You will have the full independnce of expressing your own words on that topic as you experimented on that thing.

You can add more extra spices to it by adding more sub-topics on it. As experiments gives your more topic which reading cannot give you in full force. You can write about how did you worked on that product and what are the requirements needed? this sub-topic comes under the procedure and you can add the observation by adding words on what the result came....

Total writing skill is similar to the school chemistry lab, where you experiment and make the observation and quickly write on it... Similarly, you need to recheck the writings you wrote because when you are about to publish your writings, you need to have a good impression towards your readers as like to a chemistry teacher have the impression on the Student's Practical Book.

Things to keep you away from Twitter Spam

2009-12-11T21:07:00.000-08:00

Many Twitter users are suffering from twitter spam, but they are thinking that they don't have anything to do... Since twitter came in force over internet, it was attacked by many such bad activities like Spam, Phishing, and others...

Twitter users are highly affected by such stuffs.. but resolve such things or to avoid such activities, you have the power to judge. The following i mentioned some ways in which you can protect yourself from spam.

@Spam: If you find a user, which is tweeting some suspecting tweets like useless advertisements, suspicious links, some digits like tweets and anything you find unusual... then you can report it spam to the Twitter by just putting an @spam over your tweet along with the the profile you are suspecting...
Example : @spam this guy @spammerusername is a Spam!

Again you you thinking to report about the spammer without leaving any trace for the spammer that you are reporting. (This is safe when you are not knowing the ability of the spammer- he may be a good hacker).

The Tweet Example : @spam this is a guy "http://twitter.com/(spammerusername), who is a spammer. Or @spam : [at]spammerusername is a spammer!!

You can also add that spammerusername over the wanted spammer list, so that the other user name can easily detect that username as a spammer. Report that spammer user name over tweetblocker.com as a spammer. So, that they can list it over their wanted list and helps the other twitter users to detect a spammer.

How to Check the Trustful Twitter User:
With the Tweetblocker itself, you can check a Trustful Twitter User. To check whether a user is a good, just put the username over the blank and check it. If the user is trustful, you will be able to see a "A+" sign...

Another most strongly recommended Twitter User Checker is the TwitterGrade. It rates the user with its tough checking tool and Give it Ratings from "A" up to "F". The "F" rated user can be detected as spam.

Reading Ebooks increases 35 percent of your Blogging idea

2009-12-08T04:11:00.000-08:00

I started blogging without any guidance from any- "If i had read the Ebook like Problogger, DailyBlogTips' ebook earlier then i didn't have to face such a big time to learn blogging". Blogging Knowledge is endless and its consist of SEO, writing skill, marketing ideas, designing for perfect blog design, and many more... A blogger need to have the knowledge of all those things to create a perfect blog.

The mistakes that i committed is a general things that every new blogger does:
I started blogging with a photoblog and was running in the way of gaining traffic only. I know "gaining a traffic" is the dream of every blogger whoever it is - the popular blogger or the new one. I did my best to gain traffic... I contributed over the different social bookmarking sites like Digg, Propeller, IndianPad, reddit, StumbleUpon and many small SB sites..

Digg was the site, which took my maximum time and i contributed everyday and everytime whenever i came online. I kept myself online over the Digg Pages for 24/7 and at last i succeded to touch the front page of it, I was feeling a joy of wining but later i discovered that i loose my most important thing, for which i am doing for...

What i loose?
You might have thought of what i lost... It is the content and the time i lack on my blog. My blog was on blank and i didn't spend a little over it, only for Digg. No matter i reached the half steps of the Digg Power user but i lost the value time for the contents which i was going to publish over my blog.

Re-back to blogging:
I started to write content at that time but a sudden i found a blog which is gaining a lots of traffic and i discovered that the blog is a photoblog and gives out daily celebrity photos and in the same day i again visited a blog which a blogging out some amazing photos daily. I was totally influenced by the traffic gaining by the photoblogs.

I published a little photo post and started to experience effective traffic to my blog. "No more stopping" - i started giving more posts and in one year i brought about 1,500+ visitors. I was posting in the dream of earning huge money but i experienced no change in my Google Adsense revenue...

Reading Ebooks:
One day i was gifted an ebook of the famous blogger Darren Rowse. The book "Problogger" was full of his experience and he told some secrets about blogging. This inspiration of reading book attracted me toward another ebook which was in the tip of making money from Adsense.

There i discovered few lines which changed my path of doing photoblog and got the real answer of less revenue. It told me how adsense works, "Adsense works good in the textual contents and photo posting is an unparallel with Adsense revenue." And unfortunately i was running a photoblog.

So, i refer you to read the ebooks before you take any step on your daily blogging... It increases 35 percent of your Blogging idea.

What makes you a perfect blogger?

2009-12-06T07:49:00.000-08:00

Many Questions still floating over the world of blog and many answered this question... What makes you a perfect blogger? Ask yourself whether you are a perfect blogger? Do you have all the basic quality that a blogger needs to have?
There are millions of blogger live daily over the web and two third of them are totally confused about the blogging.. They are not perfectly aware of the blogging and they start a blog with a very common, boring and non effective contents. They too spend the same time as the top blogger like Darren Rowse, Piti, Jhon Chow etc.. spends or may be more then them but even then they are not getting sufficient revenue.

What the things they lack?
I was also suffering from such lack of pure blogging tips and now i got it from Problogger Book... Darren has very effectively described the way of blogging and what is the need of it..

When i was visiting the blogs around the web, i discovered the things that these small blogs are lacking- the lack of quality writing contents. I found that most of the blogs are depend on the photo contents and some blogs are of linking contents.

Linking Contents: With this word, i meant to say the blogs who are referring other site's product with a link to that product or the blog which is copying others content and giving out different source links.

Not all the blogger do such activities but there are some blogger who write their own content but they can't express the real feelings with which a reader will be attracted. A reader always search to read those writings which can touch his heart and can clearly understand what the writer is about to say.

Writing Open to everyone mind.
Just think if a speaker speaks some worth things over the microphone and the listener faces problem to understand it then do you think it can attract those listener to listen it further? No, they will straight move away from that place and the crowd will disappear from that place.

Similarly, the blogging is of that kind. A Worthless writing can make your readers mind to leave your blog. You might be thinking of what to write to attract your readers on your blog? As a blogger i must suggest you to express your writings with your own writing style.. like you talk. Blogging is a medium through which you free to express your own writing style.

Keep your blog content written like you talk so that the readers can comment you back and can direct interact with you. Make your writing clean and easy to understandable.

I suggest you to keep your readers in touch with your blog through the micro blogging service like twitter. Reply all the tweet you get from your readers....

The most sweetest story of reddit

2009-12-05T16:38:00.000-08:00

Last week the reddit community member elmstreeter has lost his mother and yesterday he shared a photo over reddit and requested the users to fix it. In this photo, he and his mother is sitting a few hours before she passed away. But there was an oxygen pipe attached to the mother's nose during that time.

Its really sweet to tell that someone of the users has removed his mother's oxygen pipe and gifted to him. Such a great work of reddit user is highly appreciated and this was the most sweetest story i feel so...

Arijit- Blogger Of Microreaders

2009-12-05T09:16:00.000-08:00

"Total Blogging World Depend Upon the Contents You can add over your blog. Without Contents, a blog is without life!"

This page is totally about me as blogger. Hi Myself Arijit Das, A Tech blogger for a very less time of months but earlier for 2 years i was a blog poster and used to do photo blog. I had connected with the term "blogging" from the year 2007 and knew the value of real blogging this year.

My Social Networking Ranks are really impressionable: I was the Top User of IndianPad, posed a Good position at the Propeller and had a Good Karma over Reddit .Once i was stepped toward the Digg Power User which needs a lot of time to Spend. I published a lots of story over the reddit front page....

I started blogging on the inspiration of a person named Rahul Basu and i call him "Rahul Da". He was the first person who provided me a meta tag for my blog and i must say you that the tag was so strong that my first blog is still listed over the Google search result with a particular keyword.

Small scenes in my memory in the field of blogging: When i started blogging, i was very young and was reading in class 6 only in the age of 11 (approx), i didn't remember the age.. I failed to choose the best topic for blogging and started to write a paranormal stuffs like ghost, horror and others... I created a blog named "Scariest Place" which is still listed over Google search result with the keyword "scariest place" even i didn't updated it for 2 years...
In the middle of my blogging time... I was highly influenced with the game site and started to create a blog which is only having embed games from Miniclips in its post but you might be knowing that it is nonsense to have a game site in a blog. Therefore, i left that blog and started to create another blog called DailyLinked, which i made for giving out daily links but later i converted into photoblog.

Dailylinked was contributed for one year and is having a number of 1100 posts in it and gets around 2,000 visitors per day. And the main problem i faced with that blog was the revenue.... Photoblog generates a very less amount of revenue as it doesn't contain very rich keyword. I wrote about Why photo blogs are quite unprofitable?. This is the reason why i started the blog "MicroReaders" and hope to have a success in the field of blogging.

My Aim in blogging is to become a blogger like Darren Rowse, Pete Cashmore, Amit Agarwal.

My Favorite blogs which i read daily : Mashable, Problogger, DailyMail.

I will be adding more stuffs over this post...

Upcomming interface of Gmail

2009-12-03T17:46:00.001-08:00

Gmail will be coming with a new interface, we got some screen shots of its interface. The interface looks quite similar to the Google Wave interface... And an interesting feature is that a user can directly create an album over the Picasa web directly from his mail box. No need of the "Browse" button everytime to choose the files you are going to upload because they have added a box which helps you to choose the files at once on one click over the "Browse" button.

Easy to manage contact and create a mail directly from there...

According to Engadget, an insider from Google said the goal is to “provide a consistent experience throughout all Google Apps and blur the line between the browser and the website.”

The screenshots are not in English language...

What do you think of the New Gmail (Gmail 2.0) ...??

How to become a top Reddit user

2009-12-03T03:56:00.000-08:00

Different social bookmarking sites works on different way of user contribution. You might be heard of the Digg power users, who spends the most of their valuable time over Digg. To strike the front page of Digg, the users makes them active and popular over the site. They try their best to vote other users' stories, comment on other stories and keep all the front page stories tracked and in the exchange of these contribution by the active user, Digg gives them the power to touch their stories in the front page. But the power user of the Digg is limited and if a users gets inactive, he may loose his power.

So, we want to discuss about the reddit's features, which is quite unique and effective. Actually, reddit gives the popularity to any story which is unique, hot, Good and never stroked the front page of the sub-reddit and even not submitted earlier.

Is there is any need of regular contribution to strike the story front page?
Contribution is very much needed for reddit also but is not strictly followed like Digg. You should submit all the effective and good stories and pics over the sub-reddit and which is needed to gain your gaining "Karmas". I think you might be quite aware of the term "Karma"? then it is an another name of contribution (word took from language Sanskrit).

There are some important things needed for having a good karma over the reddit, as follows:
- Choose a less popularity sub-reddit like reddit India, Google, Twitter, which have average amount of subscribers. So, start submitting on that reddit. It will get a good number of vote if the story is quite good and you will be increasing karma.

- Ask the other redditors to vote your story through Instant Messenger and mail... Remember: Don't give the direct link to the story. Link to the page and give the title to vote the story.

- Vote Up & Down according to the content quality. Reddit also looks on the quality of your voting.

- After submitting your story, wait for few minutes to see the reaction. If your story get vote up then good but if it gets vote down then straightly "hide" or "delete" it.

These above are some tips to stay alive over reddit with increasing karmas... we will be exposing more secrets about reddit, so subscribe to us through mails and feeds.

Twitter tried its best to spread Awareness of AIDS among the Twitter Users

2009-12-02T07:28:00.000-08:00

AIDS is the most serious and wide-spread diseases the whole world is facing. And we all know that it is incurable but can be prevented by spreading awareness among the people all around the world. It is widely spread in the countries of Africa, India, China, etc...

Yesterday (1st December), Twitter gave its maximum efforts to spread the awareness of AIDS among the users all around the web. It changed its Home Page to Red for showing its awareness against AIDS. Even the Tweets with the key "AIDS" or "WORLD AIDS DAY" or the tag with "#red" was highlighted with red color.

My Highlighted tweet with red for AIDS awareness

They too launched an Official twitter profile, named @joinred for spreading AIDS awareness in Africa.

Do you know about ThinkQuest? Its Student's favorited site.

2009-12-01T08:51:00.000-08:00

You might had heard about the Site called "ThinkQuest". It is actually a site by the Oracle Foundation which helps the students to make their project online and inspiring the student to have a HiTech way of learning....

It is a place where teachers are connected with students, students can see others project online, can upload their project to share with others, can make a group online to create projects and the students of one country can connect with the student of other countries for the education discussion with the medium of it.

Many Schools of India like -Kendriya Vidyalaya (Central School) and others has accepted this site as the medium of online education.

How it Works?

In a school, account were created for the each of the Students and in each classes, the subject teachers were given the power of admin. Teachers can easily control the pages of the student easily but the students can only have the independent to put their educational content on their account only.

The User Names:
The users names are created in bulk and some accounts shows error while logging. The user names are in the form of "yourfirstname|firstcharacterofyourtitle.schoolname - johnm1.stjanesred" and the passwords are in the form of the "47sunrise74". The subjected teachers were given the password of the students to distribute.

How to do Projects?

You need to find your projects from the world and send the request of joining the project and if you are accepted then you can post your project and maximum times, the subject teachers assigns the project for the student who is registered.

Awards:

It received the Third Annual NII Award for Education.

I wrote about the thinkquest as i found a very less blog writing about this product of ORACLE as it is very popularly known to everyone. . And another thing i need to say i.e. it does not allows eveyone to get registered to it. Only the Schools can register and can create the accounts for the students.

Sixth Sense Technology shows that we stepped to a new generation

2009-11-30T09:11:00.000-08:00

Its a hot topic that we will be discussing about.. So, did you heard of the new technology like "Sixth Sense Technology"? if not then i should explain it to you about about it. We are very familiar with the term "Six Sense"... then can you tell me what are the six sense..?? Actually, six sense include the eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind and we humans are totally depend on it.

The Technology of which i am here to discuss is kind of the functions related to the eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Till now we were using computers by just sitting in front of our computer and in the use of few senses. But now after the introduction of the "Sixth Sense Technology", a computer can sense any sorts of feelings it gets in its surroundings..

It can feel when we move ours fingers, it can see when we ask it, it can read, it can detect the taste of the product, it can remember whatever it watches, it can show your invisible watch and many more....

I am sure that you are thinking that i am mad but its all true. There is a such technology like this... and an Indian brain is on such technology. It mainly was developed by Pranav Mistry, a PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab.

Here's the time for giving you some Idea about the Sixth Sense Technology:
Here i embedded the video from the YouTube, so make your valuable time to know it better and for better experience.

Basically it is a device which is a mini projector and which can be projected on any surface, it carries the information stored in it and also collects information from the web. It is the one which obey hand gestures of yours and gives you what you want to see and know.

It is the combined technology of computer along with cell phone. It works when a person hang it on his neck and start projecting through the micro-projector attached to it. Your fingers works like the keyboard as well as the mouse.

Easy to Draw: A person can draw anything on paint with the help of his fingers. So, why to use mouse for painting.

Capture photos with fingers: why to take camera on your holiday and no tension for the photo space as this Sixth Sense computer will work like your camera. It caputes the photo, when you make a square with your fingers, highlighting which one you want to frame.

Phone Call: You can call to your friend by typing the numbers on your hand. It display the keypad of the phone over your palm and the keys appears on the four finger... Use your another hand's finger to press the keys.

Check the brand of the Product: It helps you to choose the best brand product from the super market.

Read Books easily: Check out the ratings of the Book you are going to buy, it checks the ratings from the internet. And another amazing thing is that it reads the book for you.. :)

Newspapers: Did you saw the moving pictures of the Newspaper in the movie Harry Patter, it is quite similar to it. It Searches the most appropriate video from the web by seeing the headlines or the caption of the News report.

Check your Flight Status: You can check the status of the flight while you are on Taxi. Just place the ticket in front of the projector and it checks its status from the internet.

I hope you got the basic idea of what the Sixth Sense Technology is..??

Its really happy to know that the making of such a unique sense able computer will be exposed to the public. And the public will be given the idea of How to make it, announced by the inventor Pranav Mistry.
"Rather than waiting for that time to come, I want people to make their own system. Why not?," Mistry says in an article on Rediff Business. "People will be able to make their own hardware. I will give them instructions how to make it. And also provide them key software...give them basic key software layers...they will be able to build their own applications. They will be able to modify base level and do anything".

Jai Ho! is on the Top Ten Twitter Phrases of 2009

2009-11-30T01:42:00.000-08:00

The release of the yearly Top ten Twitter Phrase tracked by the The Global Language Monitor. According to the release, the phrase "Jai Ho!" is the top ten phrase of the year, even it is not an English word. Its really strange to see a Hindi Phrase in between all the English Phrase. It was given the 8th position in the "Top Phrases of 2009".

This phrase is the popular phrase used in the movie "Slum Dog Millionaire" and the meaning of this phrase is the "joy or accomplishment"... I am really feeling proud after seeing my language term in between all the English phrase.

Another attractive word i found over the Top Ten Twitter Phrases of the year is the word "Mayan Calendar" which means to the calender created by the Mayan Civilization and which ends on 12/21/2012. This came with the humor that the world will destroy on this year of 2012 and a movie too released on this theme. This was the reason why the keyword of "Mayan Calendar" is discussed too much over the Twitter.

The phrase, which was given the Top position is the "King of Pop", the real time search key which was the most tweeted and in a tribute to Michael Jackson.

These are the phrase of the year 2009 over the Twitter..... Lets see what are the popular phrase of the upcoming year.

FarmVille is asking its players to buy Game cash and Coins on Discount

2009-11-29T08:01:00.000-08:00

The most addicted game of Facebook is now offering its players to buy farm cash or coins with dollars. Today when i opened my farm, a box appeared in the middle of my screen showing an limited offer discount... At first i thought it to be some sorts of new animals or any new decorative things but as i clicked it, it was redirected to the FarmVille shop, where it was showing the discount of 20% for buying FV cash or coins for a limited period of 10 mins.

Its hard to believe that a player can cheat with others players by spending real money to buy Visual Cash. But why a user is going to buy this cash? Actually, it is an addicted game and the facebook users are so much connected with it and are competing with each other to increase their level that they are spending money on it for buying FV cashes. I think, just playing in a right path and daily manner can make you feel better as the good level player....

Anyway, you could get a box like this on your screen showing the discount.... Use your idea and common sense before spending your money...

Stupid things over web sometimes solve our problem.

2009-11-28T17:27:00.000-08:00

This Stupid site "GoogleGoogleGoogleGoogle.com " looks like stupid to some web users but i must say you that this is very helpful to those who keeps them online over the different social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, Perfspot or others.... By using this site a user can stay connected with all the four sites at a time.

Its not done, we can even open different Search engine over these two browsers and search different sites at a time. Now, tell me how can a person call it out as a stupid stuff..?? I don't think so...

Why photo blogs are quite unprofitable?

2009-11-28T16:26:00.000-08:00

When we blog, we give our maximum effort on our blog for giving good content and getting good revenue amount from it. And if you are a daily blogger and you daily publish your post then you are doing good karma. Everyone knows that more you post content more the traffic you can get, that is why some blogger started to create blogs in the topic of "Photos blog", where he always publish posts with photos because uploading photos are much more easier than writing articles. I am not discouraging you for creating a photo blog but telling you the experiences about it.

image from Flickr

Time Factor:
We think that, writing articles takes much more time then uploading photos but its not the truth because you need to sit and spend a lot of time in uploading photos as there are lots of photos needed to be uploaded over a single post (a post with one photo will not make any sense. Minimum amount of photos, you need to upload is 20 post.) In such a time you can write a good article.

The Amount of writing Content:
The important thing of a blog is the good writing content of it, not the photos. Google and other search engines mainly crawls the content written on the blog post. It takes out all the important keywords from the post to make the post listed over the search result on a particular keyword or many keywords.

Even maximum of the active visitors are a good readers and they need a bigger writing content for getting good impression toward your blog. They spent a greater time to read rather than watching those photos you posted. Ya, i agree the users like to view good photos but viewing photos takes a very less time and the users who are spending very less time on your blog can't be said as the active users.

Advertising Revenue:
As i told you that the user active on your blog has the maximum possibility of clicking your advertisement which your inactive users rarely does. Actually, the best readers of your blog, on the search of new good contents, it clicks your advertisement.

There is also a great problem of good keyword ads display. If you are using Google Adsense, then its very hard to earn money on the basis of good keyword from a photo blog. A photo blog contain much of its content are photos and less amount of text as a result good content keywords is unable to display.

There is a solution of the good ad display and search engine listing on a photoblog. [tips]:
Use the alt"" test on your photo and put the appropriate keyword for the listing of your images over the image search of Google, Bing and Yahoo....

These above problem occurred with me on one of my blog - DailyLinked, which is actually a photo blog and gets a good amount of visitors but very less amount of revenue is generated monthly unless some specific day. I left that blog and started using the writing blog "MReaders". :D

What do you think of photo blogs? If you have any tips to increase the quality of the photo blogs then please comment it over here...

Indian education related site gets a good traffic

2009-11-27T16:08:00.000-08:00

This year 2009, many upgrading blogger has left their daily blog and started to create the blogs related to the Indian Education and mainly Indian Exam Results. I asked a blogger, who left his daily blog left and started to create a new Indian results blog.

Why Indian Results Site?
Many asked him and i too asked him to solved my problem. According to that blogger - "Google always crawls for new contents and it chooses the daily updated sites. Actually, the "Indian Results" keywords always keeps it updated and In India almost daily the results of different exams are announced. So many students search about that exam results giving page over the Google. The users cannot get the page directly as he need some medium to know which site is providing the most appropriate exam result information."

How the Indian results sites works?
The Indian results sites works on the simple exam notification and simply gives the link of the sites to the source by mentioning some brief description about it. As, when the post about it is published then it is pinged though some ping services like Pingometer and others.... This helps their content to get listed over the search engine in a short period of 5-10 hours.

From Where they get the most of their Traffics?
Indian Result blog always depends upon the Search Engine, mainly like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc... The students of India takes the helps of these Search Engine to find their result giving site.

The blogger whom i asked about these is a Person From Kolkata (one of my friend) and he runs a blog on the Indian exam results. He told me that he is getting Unique Visitors of around 10,000 daily and earns a good amount of revenue from the advertising.

I am now having 4 invitation left in my account and i am really going to invite four real users. As, it is very valuable and limited and most of the users didn't got it. So, i thought of why i should keep those four left invitation on my account as it is totally useless for me now as i already got an invitation... So, thought of inviting others who is in need of it. Actually, I received five invitation and one i gave left with four invitation.

At the time when i was going to send out the invitation, something stroked my mind telling me "Choose a right person for it."... And i highly got influence with it. I thought of giving to a person who is not active is useless and if i choose an active user then there will be a valuable of my invitation.

Now, the problem came with me is how to choose the real user for this account, so i thought that its a time for the real users to give have some karma for the invitation qualification.

If you are wanting to get the invitation of the Orkut New version then you start commenting on my blog. And the four users with a number of comment will be getting the New Orkut Invitation. Even if you comment on my blog- you will be also be getting backlinks to your blog. Don't think that i am fully gave the commenting task for my blog promotion.. actually i believe that the person who can comment actively on my blog must be an active user.

Some Easy Rules you need to follow while commenting:
- Don't put a bad comment or any bad words.
- Be more descriptive and a comment with "Thanks" and other will not be accepted.

New Facebook Worm Found [Warning for Facebook Users]

2009-11-24T00:23:00.000-08:00

The AVG Anti virus maker recently published a post about the New Facebook worm, which is spreading via user's wall.
It is actually a photo posted from one of your infected friend on your wall.

They gave a small description about- How it works:
"For those unfamiliar with Facebook (is there anyone other than me in that set?) the thumbnail of the worm's infective page is a link to the page. The worm's objective, of course, is that others viewing the victim's wall will click the link, and as they are logged into Facebook, the worm will propagate its link to that victim's wall, and so on...
This worm uses what is technically known as a CSRF (Cross-site Request Forgery, also called XSRF) attack. A sequence of iframes on the exploit page call a sequence of other pages and scripts, eventually resulting in a form submission to Facebook "as if" the victim had submitted a URL for a wall post and clicked on the "Share" button to confirm the post."

So, be careful when you find some hot image on your wall which is telling you "clicking da button". Avoid such type of hot photos posted by an infected friend. And if you are daily addicted to Facebook, you are specially asked for not to click any suspicious links or any hot image link posted on your wall. This attack can highly effect your Computer or Account.

Why Google always provide limited invitation on their newly launched Products

2009-11-23T16:00:00.000-08:00

You might have noticed that whenever Google launched its new product or a new version of its product, it provides a limited access to the users by providing only few invitation over your account if you have already got an invitation from the Google Team. Whenever they launched its product like Gmail, Orkut new version and Google Wave, it only gave out few amount of invitation to some limited members.

If you see that thing deeply, they are indirectly giving access to everyone and mainly the Active Users. Google always have a good and innovative ideas roaming around its head... As, its product are of excellent quality for works as a result most of the web users are in need of its product.

Why they put forward the new user joining through invitation?
Its really an interesting topic on which everyone is discussing. Actually, if i ask you to give out 4-pens to some of your friends and you have more then 30-friends standing and out of these 30-friends only 5-friends are good in studies, then now whom are you going to give out the 4 extra pens..?? Probably you will be giving those pens to any the top 4 of those good friends who can make the value use of those pens.
The same way the Google Works, as it gives you limited invitation to invite your friends and naturally you will be choosing those of your friends who are active and can make a value use of it.

Google works like viral invitation and chooses out the 90 percent of active users.

How Google forms a viral Chains of users?
Hmmm... You are surely thinking of why i called it a viral invitation! Actually when you got invited from Google you got around limited invitation for example. New Orkut Version is providing only 4-invitation and you send out the all four invitation to your friends and they too got the same four invitation each. They again send the four invitation , this way the invitation goes on... If you calculate then you will find : 4x4=16 again 16x4=64... Can you believe that from your chain, you indirectly invited sixty four friends.

So, anyway i hope you got the idea why Google always choose the path of limited before its product is exposed on the public.

2009-11-23T08:46:00.000-08:00

Its really an exciting site i discovered, which helps you to find the available of your Brand User name over different social networking sites. Checking out the available user name at the time of registering is really boring, there may be a probability whether we may get the user name or not.

But the User name Checking Application rocked my way of checking the available user names and number of taken away user name. So, if you are having a user name on your mind as brand then quickly reserve it for future.

Your Health Insurance company is keeping their eyes on your Facebook Photos Health not Yours!

2009-11-23T07:43:00.000-08:00

If you are really sick and in need help of your health insurance company for money, then keep in your mind that you are not uploading your healthy or cool photo on your social networking profile like Facebook or Twitter. As, your insurance company is tracking your health on the basis of your photo you uploaded the day before you are sick.

If you are found healthy on your photo, they keep that photo as evidence for not providing your health benefits. The Similar case occur with a 29-years old Canadian Women - Nathalie Blanchard, who was not given the benefits of her Health Insurance on the evidence of her latest uploaded photo on Facebook.

When the insurance company deny to give her her payment, she claimed the photo as the image shot a night before. Its really became a hot discussion over the sides like mashable, CBC News and others... and the Question arising is that whether a Health Insurance can claim on the basis of the photos Tweeted on Twitter and Facebook..?? What do you think??

Real Bloggers don't write 2-3 posts at a Time

2009-11-22T04:06:00.000-08:00

When i first started to write my own post, i thought that i can write 2-3 posts at a time and i too did it. I wrote 2-3 articles in one hour but as a result i found a lot of mistakes and less descriptive. And sometimes many writings appears like boring and meaningless.

I also found many blogger who are doing same mistake which i did. I experienced that if we post more than one post at a time.. Our brain feels some stretch and face problem to thinking for a new topic to write.

So, i must suggest those quick blog poster or writer to make a routine to write their new article. I am mentioning a time management to write a quality article :

If you are a full time blogger

then you select your time like, in morning you take 1 hour in writing a mega post, as at that time your mind will be fresh to write a new article.
in afternoon, you keep one hour to write another article.
And at night one post. You may also write 4 post a day or five according to your capacity for betterment of your blog.

The remaining time, you can spend for market your blog, social bookmarking, tweeting and others....

If you are a Part Time Blogger then,

Fix a particular time for blogging and write article in an interval of one and half hour or more... if you have time.
Keep a special time for writing a valuable content.
Rest timing spend in marketing like - Social bookmarking, Tweeting your link and publishing link on the social network like Facebook...

If you can do in the above following time management I think this will make any sense in your Blogging. These are just my idea.. If you have any idea on yout mind then you can share with me through comment.

Mashabe now showing its hot trending posts

2009-11-20T16:01:00.000-08:00

Mashable made its readers to identify the most popular posts or topic of their blog. They put forward a box at the top which is showing "Now Trending". They put forward their best and popular post on that box to make its users read that post first because it contains the featured writings. Earlier the users used to face problem over Mashable to find the most Featured post as in blog the posts comes one after one which makes the featured posts down after the newly post update.

Most of the mashable readers are now enjoying this new adding of this new box.I think they arrange the popular post on the basis of the amount of "retweets" and little bit of facebook "Shares". This Trending topic is the concept taken from Twitter trending topic... Even i loved this new idea of showing the trending or host post as mashable publish more than 25 posts daily and from them to find the best content is now easy.

2009-11-20T15:41:00.000-08:00

Facebook's Farm Ville has newly added its new gifts of flags which you can send to your friends and your friend can use it to decorate his farm... Quickly check your gift request, you may have received one from your friend. these flags came of four colours- Yellow, blue, green, Red.

You may use these flags to decorate your farm. My tips to you on these flags: Collect a number of flags from your gift by "accepting" it and then keep those flags serially and line by line to give a good and colourful impression on your farm.

I don't have an idea whether it is limited or permanent gifts as sometimes farm ville stop some of its decorative things. You can even sell those gifts from your gift box if you are not having much space n your farm for the flags or if you are not wanting these flags to be on your farm. These gifts are sold at the price of 10 coins each flag.

The vice president of Google Search Product & user experience- Marissa Meyer has recently announced that Google will be permanently adding a sidebar to its search pages. She thinks that the users of Google are unhappy with the same design of Google's search interface. So, they are now testing a few changes in the Google's Search interface by adding a Sidebar on its left side and is going to soon visible to a small portion of users.

The sidebar will be consisting of some options to access content like Orkut, Google images, books, news, maps etc. There will be another option which will remember the Search History Keyword for fast search.

Even then many users used these long process for many props for publishing their story on the propeller front page but there were also those users who had stopped using propeller for this long process of sharing stories to the friends.

Keep your important file archive on internet

2009-11-19T03:20:00.000-08:00

If you have any important software serial code over a notepad and you have collected after a hard find searching, then you need to keep that file archive over the internet. Archiving your notepad file online is very helpful. As computers cannot be trusted all the time because its hard disk can get crash anytime and you can lost your files or those notepad file which may consists of important writings,passwords, code which you kept for later use.

I mainly use esnips to keep my notepad files archive and keep the tension of getting deleted away from my brain. You may use other file hosting sites to keep your important word files undeleted.

If you are daily ReTweeter then this new option will really help you!! They even added a section called "Retweet" in their right sidebar, where you can find who is Retweeting and who retweeted your Tweets and even the retweet of yours... But you can only track those user's retweets whom you are following.

Creating a list with slash "blog" is useless

2009-10-29T02:28:00.000-07:00

Creating a list with twitter.com/yourusername/blog on the Twitter's recently launched feature, is a bad idea.

When create a list with slash blog then you will not able to see any pages of it. Actually, it is default when a user creates list with the term "blog", it redirects to blog.twitter.com. They did this to retain some power of the term "blogging".

But an interesting thing to say that you may list the user on that page but totally useless..

Example: http://twitter.com/Arijitblog/blog

The above is the link i created to test it.. By clicking it you will sent to Twitter's official blog.
