Google Friend Connect Launched
Friend Connect Logo
Google Launched yet another Feather to its Cap with the release of Friend Connect Beta with the caption “Grow traffic by adding social networking features to your site”. Google is everywhere and I have no complaints!
Friend Connect Beta makes it easy for users to sign in to a website, share a bit about themselves through a personal profile, discover other people with similar interests, invite their contacts, and interact with friends, all through their existing account from Google, Yahoo, AOL, or OpenID.
Google’s been working with a handful of website owners, social networks, and application developers to improve Friend Connect’s speed and scalability, ease of use, and customization capabilities. They’ve also expanded the features available to users with more integrated profiles and new ways to discuss and share content, like including YouTube videos in comments.
Websites that use Friend Connect become OpenSocial containers, capable of running applications created by the OpenSocial developer community.
How does it work?
Visitors of your site can
- Sign in with their Google, Yahoo, AIM or an Open ID Account
- Interact with other visitors by making friends, sharing media, posting comments, playing games and more
- Invite friends from other social networking sites
Getting Started
- Log in to Google Friend Connect and register your site. It’s an easy process
- Choose your gadget and paste it anywhere on your page
- No third step. You are done
Benefits
- Anyone can join and get updates on your site with their existing accounts with Google, Yahoo, AIM or Open ID
- Visitors can invite someone to your site
- Gadgets will keep the visitors deeply engaged with your site and with each other
For more information, visit Google Friend Connect.

Create a Mobile Version of your blog
There is an ever increasing demand for accessing the Internet through the mobile phones. The access speeds on the mobile phones are becoming the norms for judging the quality of the sites. The existing content rendered on most of the web pages is not suitable for display on mobile phones.
Mobile users are certainly not interested in viewing the sidebars, designs and other navigation on the page. All that they would like to see is the content. There may be lot of people who are accessing your web pages over a mobile phone. Therefore, it’s important that we do not lose out on this. Hence, there is a need for designing a mobile friendly version of your blogs/sites.
There are several ways to achieve this. Through Google Reader, MoFuse, Mippin, WireNode, MobiSiteGalore, WinkSite are some of them.
1. Google Reader – the easiest way
Google Reader gives the ability to generate the mobile version of your content using the RSS feed. Append the feed address of your site to the below URL and access the mobile version of your blog.
http://www.google.com/reader/m/view/feed/<your feed address>
Example: http://www.google.com/reader/m/view/feed/http://feeds.feedburner.com/ReadToKnow
The output of this link will be your mobile version of the blog. Remembering this is not easy. If you already have a self hosted WordPress blog, I suggest you create a sub domain like m.<your domain name>.com and set the redirection to the above link in your site’s Control Panel. This is the widely used naming convention across the globe.

Terrorist Attacks in India
Militants armed with automatic weapons and grenades attacked luxury hotels, hospitals and a famous tourist cafe in India’s commercial capital Mumbai late on Wednesday, killing at least 101 people.
Facts & Figures:
In the recent past, India has been badly hit by the bomb blasts in 2008. Here is the list taken from Yahoo.
- Nov 26: Mumbai Terrorist attacks kill over 100 and approx. 250 injured
- Oct 30: 64 killed by explosions in North Eastern Assam
- Sep 30: Blasts in Western India kills at least 7
- Sep 27: Delhi, 1 person killed
- Sep 13: Five blasts in Delhi. 18 killed
- Jul 26: 22 explosions in Ahmedabad. Approx. 49 killed
- July 25: 7 explosions in Bangalore. 2 killed
- May 13: 7 bombs exploded in Jaipur. More than 63 killed
The figures mentioned above are the official figures. Only God knows about the actual figures.
From the above stats, one can clearly conclude the facts. In Sep’08 alone there were so many blasts. Every time there is a blast, the Government is ready to Condemn those attacks! If there were proper actions taken, there wouldn’t been a need for me to write this post!
What is happening?
Mumbai Blasts
In India, there’s a saying ‘Atidhi Devo Bava’, meaning, the guests are next to God. Several Foreign nationals have been killed in yesterday’s blasts! Is it not the Government’s responsibility to protect them?
Every time the terror strikes, the Government condemns those attacks. The GOVERNMENT ONLY CONDEMNS those attacks and is not taking a proper action. The terror strikes again. The same recursive statements from the Government. The Indian Government has literally failed to contain the terror.
If a blast happens in one part of the country, the whole country is alerted. People are stopped at every nook and corner for the security check. This alert will only lasts for a day or two. Later, nobody even bothers. Everything’s as usual again. The Government only wakes when there is an attack and it has become a practice to forget about it later.

Google launches SearchWiki
On the 20th of Nov’08 Google announced the launch of SearchWiki. In other words Google gets personal with SearchWiki. SearchWiki lets users customize their search results by re-ranking, deleting, adding and commenting on Search Results. With just a single click users can move the results they like to the top or add a new site. One can also add notes to a particular site and remove results that they don’t think relevant.
SearchWiki
These modifications will be shown to the users every time they do the same search in the future. For this to happen, you have to be logged in to a Google account so that the changes you make will be saved and shown the next time you run the same search.
How SearchWiki works?
Log in to your google account and search for a query on Google Search. For every search result, you will see two light-colored icons next to the listing which lets you reorder the search results. An up arrow lets you move a result higher on the page; an X will remove the result. After you’ve moved a result higher, a down arrow shows up so you can move it back down the page. The icons turn bright green after an edit to remind you that you edited the result. A fourth icon in the shape of a text bubble lets you leave comments on any listing; anyone can see the comments you make on a separate page.
