On 28th july ,2009 when i opened twitter , i was shocked to see a different webpage ,i checked and rechecked the url and finally understood they have redesigned front page , lol

The earlier tag-line or description whatever was

“Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co-workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

and now is has changed to

“Share and discover what’s happening right now, anywhere in the world”

If you're a regular around these parts, then you won't notice the new look unless you sign out of your account. Helping people access Twitter in more relevant and useful ways upon first introduction lowers the barrier to accessing the value Twitter has to offer and presents the service more consistently with how it has evolved.

According to twitters official blog ,

We'll likely continue to make changes to the Twitter home page as we respond to feedback and ideas. We're eager to see if encouraging a sense of wonder and discovery leads to a better first impression of Twitter.

I personally didnt like the new look ,coz i used 2 like cool , cute twitter bird icon ,now it has become more smaller and insane ,hehe ,and the page has become more blank ,
The front page has popular topics by minute ,time and day ,which used to display only after logging , hope they again change it ,this time ,more better and more not so empty

Check official blog of twitter http://blog.twitter.com/

With free service of tweetlater you can send dm to all followers automatically as soon as they follow ,but when you follow other people who may too be using this service and making your direct messages box on twitter full by only promoting messages regarding their websites and no nothing about social connection ,it really creates a big headache as if you have just seen a big ugly twitter fail whale and waste of time checking that message . But you can stop such kinda automatic DMs sent from tweetlater , all you have to do is ,

1. Log in twitter
2. Follow @OptMeOut
3. Wait till it follows you back
4. As soon as you see it in followers list ,check DM it sends to you
5. Then send a DM to @OptMeOut
6. Then Unfollow @OptMeOut

Tweetlater will then stop sending you automated DMs , after a while . This works even if you dont have account at tweetlater . This will make twitter inbox clean and only with meaningful direct messages :P

Twitter is a getting more and more popular with increasing number of people ,even stars and celebreties have joined and are connected to their fans , bloggers and webmasters are using it to monetize and companies to spread new information and updates .There are two ways of connecting to any twitterer ,

1. Sending a direct message ,ie dm ,
2. Direct reply ,ie addressing that person directly with your status ,

Now- a- days , people dont care about reading or sending direct messages ,because now twitter has made it private . earlier anyone used to see anyones dm'z ,but now its not public anymore ,and so ppl just reply directly for eg
@ajinkyaforyou ,hi !!
But if anyone has to convey private information without letting another follower know ,he uses dm method , but now ,every day when you follow any person you automatically get dm from them ,instantly as soon as you FOLLOW him ,this is because he has set up automatic welcome dm's ,a service from tweetlater
you can set up a message ,for eg

hi ! thanks for following me ! take a look at my blog http://qwertyweb.blogspot.com

You too can set automatically welcomed dms to all followers as soon as they follow you !
This service is free , and you can even change messages and rotate ,but only once time ! , you can send only one message to follower just once ! never the less ,automatic ,a good tool to focus on them and your future interaction with them, or simply to thank them for choosing to follow you.

Just sign up and give twitter login and password ,
go to setting and configure this free tool

Since after Gmail becoming full functional and removing BETA tag , loads of new features have been built up for highest level of security .
And what more , protect spam and hoax emails believed to be send from false alike servers , Gmail has now launched a new lab feature , The “Authentication icon for verified senders” one .
The "Super-trustworthy" new feature have 3 main cool new rocking features :

1. The sender, usually a financial institution, is a target of phishers,
2. All of the sender's email is authenticated with DKIM,
3. Gmail rejects any fake messages that claim to come from this sender, but actually don't.

To enable this feature go to Settings and then labs or click this link

You have to click on enable

Here's a look on post on their official Gmail blog

We're always looking for new ways to protect Gmail inboxes from spam and phishing. Last year, we started taking extra steps to protect you from fake eBay and PayPal emails, requiring that any email claiming to come from one of eBay's or PayPal's domains actually comes from them. We do that by looking at the "From" header, and when it says "ebay.com" for example, it means it really did come from ebay.com. Anything else is rejected; it won't even appear in your spam folder because Gmail won't accept it.

Right now this feature only checks on ebay and paypal ,but more will be coming soon

It was nothing surprising that Yahoo closed Yahoo 360 ,a social networking site , on 13th july ,and that too didn't create any buzz due to inflammability ;)
It had very less traffic and poor pride , huge losses had occurred , so again like as Yahoo had closed many services , even this one http://360.yahoo.com/
It says

You can still move your blog posts from 360° until August 19. See your options.see FAQS for more info

Google Voice mobile app for Blackberry and Android has been announced by Google leading to huge downloads by Blackberry and Android users ,
Previously, to place a call using Google Voice, you had to dial your own Google Voice number from your cell phone or use the Quick Call button online.

With this new mobile app, you can make calls and send SMS messages with your Google Voice number directly from your mobile phone. The app is fully integrated with each phone’s contacts, so you can call via Google Voice straight from your address book.

From the mobile app, you can:

1. Access your voicemail: read message transcripts, follow along with "karaoke-style" playback of messages, read SMS messages sent to your Google Voice number (even if your phone doesn't receive SMS messages) and access your call history
2. Place calls that display your Google Voice number from your address book, the app dialer (Blackberry) or the native dialer (Android)
3. Send SMS messages that display your Google Voice number
4. Place international calls at low rates

To open multiple Yahoo messengers see here http://qwertyweb.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-run-run-multiple-yahoo-messenger.html

Running yahoo messenger and that too one is quite a bigg trouble if you have more than one account and so it is sometimes better to open multiple yahoo messengers at a same time with as many number of accounts
Here is what you need to do some changes to open multiple messengers

1. Open the notepad.

2. Copy the following code
REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\yahoo\pager\Test] “Plural”=dword:00000001

3. Save the above code as multi.reg

4. Either double click on this file or right click on it and select merge option. (This will merge this settings into windows registry)

Almost all blogs are now making right click function disabled when we visit their blog , so that people do not copy the articles posted by them ,ie right click function of the mouse button so that it gives the option of COPY when we drag selected area and PASTE somewhere else or PICTURES ,that people use it without taking permission which may be copywritted too , which is what not very good as sometimes we may want to read that being OFFLINE or later . Overall, it disables ALL right-click functionality: copy, paste, open in new window.So if you are an Inter Explorer surfer , IE6+ , here's a tutorial for you

Just 6 steps

1. Click “Tools”------->>>”Internet Options”
2. Click the “Security” tab
3. Click “Custom Level”
4. Scroll down to the “Scripting” section
5. Set “Active Scripting” to “disable”
6. Click “Ok”

And this is necessary to do even when you don't want to copy because according to zdnet.com ,

A supercritical zero-day IE flaw has been released in to the wild by a reckless British company and there are no patches available

You must disable "Active Scripting" on all Windows computers running Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6.0 even if you have Windows XP SP2 installed. see this page for more instructions http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/index.php?p=133
