KICKSTART : Yahoo !’s (hopefully) last shutdown in 2008

yahoo-kickstartIn this article we will tell you about yahoo kickstart shutdown.Yahoo! has shut down yet another web service under its name called KICKSTART. Call it the current ill fate of Yahoo! or Kickstart's poor ideation(it was nothing more than a  re-iteration of the pretty old concept of bridging students & alumnis and letting business relations develop inbetween),there were never big hopes by anybody(even Y! itself,i suppose) from Kickstart and the service hardly excited any lad to give it a serious try. As Yahoo! has shut down many of its subsidiary services this year,(such as Y!Music,Mash,Y!Live,Jumpcut),it seems that Yahoo! has not been able to capitalise

Why Chrome should’ve better stayed in ‘Beta’ !

In this article we will explain you about the chrome incompatibility with orkut chat. Orkut Live chat(recently introduced) is disabled on chrome browser. In general,i love whatever comes my way that belongs to Google,be it Chrome,Android G1(latest ones) and many of the old and successful services(Gmail,Google Apps,Google Maps,Orkut,Google Earth and many others).And i trust brand 'Google' to an extent that i don't expect slightest level of incompatibility within its services. But one thing that i realized today made me re-think over (sort of)blind trust i had on Google's services till now. Prior to the launch of Chrome,i started using it and i confess that i came across many bugs/issues(out of which few got addressed in Chrome's timely updates) but many left completely untouched but i am still on Chrome. And as Google also used Orkut(one of the biggest social networks internationally) to promote its new browser,it was looking like Chrome's usage will

All the Chrome fanatics must be happy to know that Chrome has just left 'Beta' stage(officially announced on Google Blog) with its fifteenth release today(in the past three months,they've released 14 updates so far).

“Google Zeitgeist 2008” & “Yahoo! Top 10 2008” have NO MATCH !

In this article we will tell you about Google Yahoo top searches comparison. As the year is about to end,Google has announced its list of most popular search terms(called 'The Zeitgeist') for the year 2008 and the list is quite interesting and not-so-obvious like Yahoo's. Astoundingly,the top two search engines(Google and Yahoo!) didn't have a single search term in common in their Top 10 lists except 'obama'(there also,Google had 'Obama' and Yahoo! had 'Barack Obama' hence not quite precisely matching). Below are some really interesting conclusions on these Top 10 searches of Google & Yahoo! but before that,have a look at the two lists : Here is Google's list of Fastest Rising searches :

To check out what's the 'Popularity Status' of "xyz.com"(any site),one usually refers site indexing platforms such as Alexa,Compete, Quantcast and similar others but all these websites follow quite conventional methods of evaluating overall rank of a website or a blog.

So,is there any existing solution to this problem of accurately evaluating 'what's popular' and 'what's not' ? YES....It's ://urlfan ://urlfan measures how popular is your website in the world of Web 2.0.And the basis on which it ranks websites on 'Popularity Scale' is one's

5 Reasons why i’m still on Chrome !

Google chrome web browserAlthough chrome has many shortcomings, it has found success in securing a bigger market share. The complete details about it is given below. After having a look at last month's user statistics, I realized that many of Chrome users have shifted back to their earlier browsers(mostly Firefox) after experimenting with the browser created by Google. And there are reasons for this 'Back to Basics' reaction of the majority. There are numerous gray areas where Chrome isn't that cool and Google has plenty of homework to do before releasing the next version of Chrome(biggest lacking being NO Add-ons). But Chrome has still found success in securing a bigger market share (more than 2%) within a couple of months than many years older Opera and giving stiff competition to Apple's Safari(although Chrome is still to release a Mac version).
