Research says Facebook is more popular than email

Social networking has become a fundamental part of the global online experience -- Social networks such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter are more popular than email with web users, says Nielsen Online.

A report by the research company revealed that two thirds of surfers use 'Member Communities', the category name it gives social networks and blogs.

Nielsen Online also revealed Member Communities are the fourth most popular online category, being beaten by search, portals and PC software.

The research highlighted that Facebook was the most popular social network and has its greatest reach in the UK, with 47 percent of all British web users logging on to the social network, while one in every six minutes of UK online time is spent visiting a social network or blog.

Nielsen Online also said that mobile phones are helping increase the popularity of social networks, finding that UK mobile Web users have the greatest propensity to visit a social network through their handset, with 23 percent (2 million people) doing so, compared to 19 percent in the US (10.6 million people). These numbers are a big increase over last year – 249 percent in the UK and 156 percent in the US.

Saade rang ko galti se aap naa kora samjho,

Jo dikhe aapko zindagi saadagi bhari kisi ki,
To aap yun samjho satrangi hai duniya usiki,
Holi aayi satrangi rango ki bouchar laayi,
Dher saari mithai aur mitha mitha pyar laayi,
Aap ki zindagi ho mithe pyar aur khusiyon se bhari,

Humne dil se yeh paigam bheja hai.
Rango ke tyohar mein sabhi rango ki ho bharmar,
Dher saari khushiyon se bhara ho aapka sansar,
Yahi dua hai bhagwan se hamari har bar,
Holi Mubarak ho mere yaar!

Khaa key gujiya, pee key bhaang, laaga ke thoda thoda sa rang, baja ke dholak aur mridang, khele holi hum tere sang.
Holi Mubarak!

Rango mein ghuli ladki kya laal gulabi hai
Jo dekhta hai kehta hai kya maal gulabi hai
Pichle baras tune jo bhigoya tha holi mein
Ab tak nishani ka woh rumaal gulabi hai.
Chadenge jab pyare rang, ek meri dosti ka rang bhi chadhana.
Lagne lagenge tumhe suhane sare rang,
Aur meri dosti ka rang chamkega hurdum tumhare sang.
Bolo sarararara....

Wish you a very mastiful and colourful Happy Holi!

Internet Users Now Number 1 Billion

Ever wondered "how many internet users are there in the world"? Now we have an answer. The total global Internet audience surpassed 1 billion visitors in December 2008, based on data from the comScore World Metrix audience measurement service.

The Asia-Pacific region accounted for the highest share of global Internet users at 41 percent, followed by Europe (28 percent share), North America (18 percent share), Latin-America (7 percent share), and the Middle East & Africa (5 percent share).

The group is made up of people aged 15 and older, using home and work computers. It excludes traffic from public computers such as Internet cafes or access from mobile phones or PDAs.

China represented the largest online audience in the world in December 2008 with 180 million Internet users, representing nearly 18 percent of the total worldwide Internet audience, followed by the US (16.2 percent share), Japan (6 percent share), Germany (3.7 percent share) and the UK (3.6 percent share).

"It is a monument to the increasingly unified global community in which we live and reminds us that the world truly is becoming more flat. The second billion will be online before we know it, and the third billion will arrive even faster than that, until we have a truly global network of interconnected people and ideas that transcend borders and cultural boundaries."

Top 15 countries by Internet audience, ranked by total unique visitors, December 2008

Loadshedding, 8-cell x 2 batteries and NFS Undercover

De facto, this post is a merge of unpublished Updates from the poorest country of the world where the loadshedding, bandhs and political chaos could not make Nepal more poorer than this as there's no available lower limit of peace, prosperity and the development.

नेपाली पारा क्या काइदा शायद फाईदा होला यो, अब २४ घन्टे दिनमा १२ १६ घण्टा अन्धकारमा बस्ने भएपछी हामी म नेपाली आफ्नो पहिचान र भोटप्रती आसन्कित हुन बिबस छौ छु ।

The three trio of now-a-days agenda of mine. In a single instant, while the loadshedding persist I could still enjoy, not without 8-cell x 2 batteries, NFS Undercover letting federal units down, crashing and blasting the choppers, hurray!

Time to do everything oneself, Mr Prime Minister and the Government is a dead-alive 5th bonanza of a long awaited constructive competition of we-poor Nepalese. When is the boon going to Undercover the nation to a 5$ increased GDP.

Kate Winslet Wins Best Actress at the 2009 Golden Globes

Kate took home the Best Actress award for her part in “Revolutionary Road,” and gave an acceptance speech that will probably be remembered as the most heartfelt, unscripted and off the wall in the history of the awards ceremony. That same night, Winslet picked up yet another accolade, for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture for her part in “The Reader.”

The Golden Globes are watched annually by millions of visitors, being held as the clearest indicator of what we’re to expect from the Academy Awards. Whether Kate Winslet will get to take home an Oscar for Best Actress remains to be seen.

A cup of tea- for Internet sees NO difference between Mountain View CA and Masbar NP

This post is the pure dedication for the obvious reasons. Bona fide writing are done injustice, at least for me. Last time, I had to privatize my blog owing to all 18(approx calculations) visits per day just from the same person, I didn't bother to browse but Why? Simply, I restricted the access. (Not a first time experience, I let them do so.)

It was Mountain View user(s)- searching or analyzing Warner Music case with YouTube and other associated or none posts. Was it Google? I am not suppose to know about for the smallest payout of G Ads that deliver to my blog. Alas! I am in Masbar- one of the poorest lands in the whole world(I pride on saying this), Internet is a far-approach access let alone some needs of daily calories, commuters, humdrum moments, edge cutting and guessing speeches of the leaders, and much more to list about. Yet, I love it, I need to.

For a cup of tea in Nepal, I had to give up a cup of Espresso in CA. I mean to say blogging is just a hobby of mine- now-- it used to be an obsession. Blogging of bucks is not what I ever oriented to be or a pro like posts. It's a passion, a compassion and flourishing but bleached vibrations in my neurons. Will Mountain View if compared to Masbar, yield a justifiable outcome? I have no options, but wait for at least my entire life time. Internet is a no-heard or if not rare-of-use thing here in my place.

Wireless or 3G is of no use, rather go to attend a press conference on aborting and stopping a High Level Commission for (Information) Technology Development where a leader, of course neither the responsible official nor the Science & Tech Ministry will respond to the speech by another Maoist leader. Trying to be more specific but yet a Nepali.

Wikipedia Wants Your Money to Make it a Go

Most probably this is not the first time Wikipedia- The Free Encyclopedia is asking for monetary help to make the fund go on so as to survive it's board of 23 staffers. This time Wikipedia's dad, Jimmy Wales made a personal appeal for more donations, obviously to keep the encyclopedia and its employees going.

It's been apparent that most of the donations appear to range from $10 to $50, and some of the donors have added comments along with the cash. Some of the comments are really surprising while others usual ada ada.

"I love Wikipedia because it makes me appear smarter." Not be smarter, just look smarter. Because ultimately isn't that what people really want?

The shameless appeal for money has opened up the Wiki-peeps to yet more criticism, the primary complaints being a) why don't they just run ads like the rest of us poor blogging schlubs? and b) why should these 23 folks take home paychecks and not the 150,000 or so obsessive-compulsive types who actually create and maintain the encyclopedia?

Warner Music Demands YouTube Drop All Its Music

Warner Music is demanding that all of its music videos - including tracks from artists such as AC/DC, Gnarls Barkley, Björk, James Blunt, REM, Green Day and Kylie - are removed from YouTube.

Warner Music Group and Google's YouTube failed to reach agreement about how the label should be compensated for official and unofficial music videos. Warner Music has therefore called for all of its content to removed from the site. "We simply cannot accept terms that fail to appropriately and fairly compensate recording artists, songwriters, labels and publishers for the value they provide," said a Warner Music statement.

"It isn't always possible to maintain these innovative agreements," Google responded on its blog. "Sometimes, if we can't reach acceptable business terms, we must part ways with successful partners."

According to Wired, Universal Music Group says that it's earning tens of millions of dollars from the site and expects to earn more in the future.

YouTube is offering an Audioswap feature, which lets uploaders select new music for any videos that made use of Warner's music.

In September 2006 Google announced an agreement to distribute on YouTube the library of music videos from Warner's "world-renowned roster of artists as well as behind-the-scenes footage, artist interviews, original programming and other special content. In a first-of-its-kind arrangement, YouTube users will be able to incorporate music from WMG's recorded music catalog into the videos they create and upload onto YouTube."

At the time, Edgar Bronfman, Chairman and CEO of Warner Music Group, said: "Technology is changing entertainment, and Warner Music is embracing that innovation. Consumer-empowering destinations like YouTube have created a two-way dialogue that will transform entertainment and media forever. As user-generated content becomes more prevalent, this kind of partnership will allow music fans to celebrate the music of their favorite artists, enable artists to reach consumers in new ways, and ensure that copyright holders and artists are fairly compensated."

George Bush Hit in Face 50m Times

Alex Tew, creator of the Million Dollar homepage, has a new web hit on his hands, after creating online game "Sock and Awe" in homage to the Iraqi journalist who threw a pair of shoes at US President George Bush.

The objective of the game is to hit George Bush in the face with a carefully aimed shoe as he ducks and dives around the screen. So far, 47,171,895 shoes have successfully hit Bush in the face.

Iraqi reporter Muntazer al-Zaidi hurled two shoes at the US president during a press conference on December 14.

Sock And Awe Bush shoe game

24-year-old London web designer Tew created the site and swiftly sold it on eBay for £5,215. The buyer was a company called Fubra, which put adverts on the site, and claims it quickly made its money back.

"We built SockandAwe.com just for fun (and partly as a promo for our start-up, PopJam) but had no idea it would become quite so popular. So, now we are selling it because a) we don't really know what to do with it, b) we can recover some of the hosting costs (plus pizza and beer costs!), and c) the money will be useful for our little four-man start-up," Tew wrote on the eBay auction page.

"It went explosively viral around the world and we didn't really expect it to do that," he said.

"We've spent the last three days trying to keep the servers alive and we're meant to be working on our other main startup PopJam. So we whacked it on eBay," he added.

Tew supposedly made a million dollars with his Million Dollar homepage.

HP Updates Desktop Virtualization Software

Hewlett-Packard hopes to widen the use of its desktop virtualization products with new software that will improve video playback and allow the use of USB peripherals such as webcams, the company announced Monday. HP is also rebranding its desktop virtualization suite as the HP Virtual Client Essentials, and adding Linux support for its broker software, called Session Allocation Manager, which runs only on Windows today, HP said. Most of the updates concern HP's Virtual Desktop Infrastructure suite, which allows a company to run multiple images of a desktop OS in virtual containers on a server, instead of having to manage a separate OS on each employee's PC. Virtualized desktops are catching on at some businesses but companies need to provide workers with an experience similar to what they'd expect from a standard desktop PC, and that hasn't always been the case with multimedia content, said industry analyst Roger Kay, president of Endpoint Technologies Associates. HP said it has solved that problem by developing an enhanced version of Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol, which transfers presentation data between thin clients and Windows applications running on a virtualized server. The existing RDP works fine for relaying basic on-screen data, such as keyboard strokes and mouse movements, but it's not good at carrying rich content such as a training video or webcast, said Manoj Malhotra, product marketing manager for HP's Client Virtualization group. "The server gets overloaded when it tries to decode a video stream for a large number of users, and some employees end up having a poor experience," he said. HP's enhanced RDP shifts the burden of decoding video away from the server and onto the thin clients, he said. That will allow companies to stream video to a large number of employees without a deterioration in performance, he said. The new protocol also lets them plug in a wide range of USB peripherals, which don't work well with the existing RDP, according to HP. HP said the enhanced RDP is aimed at basic productivity workers. The company also has its own RGS (Remote Graphics Software) protocol, which it positions for applications that use higher end graphics, such as CAD programs, or that multiple users access at once. While the enhanced RDP will be free, HP charges for its RGS protocol. But on Monday it said it has cut the price of RGS to US$35 per seat, from "between $99 and a few hundred dollars" per seat, Malhotra said. It's also allowing customers to use RGS on non-HP servers, which previously was not permitted, he said. He predicted that the RGS protocol will become more widely used, but HP still expects the enhanced RDP to be used for about 75 percent of virtual desktop deployments.

Facebook 'Connect' Zaps Site Registration Hassles

  Facebook is getting ready to take another stab at introducing a Beacon-like feature that allows your Facebook friends track your Web-whereabouts with a service called Connect. The service is set to launch within a few weeks, according to Facebook.

The Facebook Connect feature will allow participating Connect site owners to share user names and logins. This allows end user to sign into Facebook, for example, and surf over to another participating Connect site and avoid having to create an additional user name and password for access to that site.
Another aspect of the Connect feature will update your Facebook Newsfeed with news as to what participating Connect websites you've visited. For example, if you "dugg" an article on Digg your Facebook Newsfeed would report this.
This is not the first time Facebook has tried to federate user information across the Web. Last year, Facebook's 'Beacon' advertising program backfired at the company, as the program failed to properly warn users that their activity on partner websites was shared on Facebook.

However, this time, Facebook seems to have learned from its previous experience and 'Connect' users will be able to adjust their privacy settings for which actions will be shared on the social network. Besides that, Facebook promises it will be "carefully authorizing" each partner in the 'Connect' program. The new feature will compete with similar offerings from rival social network MySpace and with Google's 'Friend Connect.'

Facebook 'Connect' works in a remote way like 'OpenID.' Basically, using this feature you will be able to access various websites without having to create a new profile and tediously enter all your personal data. This article is adapted from PCWorld.

Another brain washing spam from a fake "PayPal Accounts Management" Security Center- fredbrummer@embarqmail.com

I had been working on my PayPal accounts recently when I didn't notice that people would peep it in. Here is a ditto copy of email I received from so called Security Center of PayPal Account Management.

Dear PayPal member,

We recently reviewed your account, and we are suspecting that your PayPal account may have been accessed from an unauthorized computer.

This may be due to changes in your IP address or location. Protecting the security of your account and of the PayPal network is our primary concern.

That's it, a faked email, a spam that would make your business kill. I din't clicked the link in the email, take your risk? People if you can take over it, please get to the right person. PayPal is rude to me in fact, they denied to open my new account nor they did accepted my online credits.

Quotes by Barack Obama, America's 44th President

"Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there," Obama said in Grant Park.

"We are the party of lower taxes and less government," Giuliani said. "They are the party of higher taxes and more government."

"The journey ends, but voting with my daughters, that was a big deal," Obama told reporters.

"We know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime - two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century," Obama said. "There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created, new schools to...

"There will be setbacks and false starts," Obama said. "There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can't solve every problem."

On July 15, Obama spoke about emphasizing the fight against terrorism in Afghanistan, saying,"And that's why, as president, I will make the fight against al Qaeda and the Taliban the top priority that it should be. This is a war that we have to...

In a statement with his sister, Obama said, "She was cornerstone of our family, and a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, strength and humility."

"She was the cornerstone of our family, and a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, strength, and humility," he said in a joint statement with his half sister, Maya Setoro-Ng. "She was the person who encouraged us and allowed us to take...

He said: "She's the one who taught me about hard work. She's the one who put off buying a new car or a new dress for herself so that I could have a better life."

"The road ahead will be long, our climb will be steep," said Mr. Obama, his audience hushed and attentive, with some, including the Rev. Jesse Jackson, wiping tears from their eyes. "We may not get there in one year or even one term, but...

34 Government websites hacked in Nepal

Quit late at the info, right? But as usual I was not shocked by reading this news in You Can Hack!!! blog. Instead I was eagerly searching for some internal news related to the hacking of Government websites in Kathmandu. Webmaster seems to know nothing about running and maintaining these Governmental websites at all. Moreover, this is a sarkari kaam and how could he be dedicated to this.

The previous contents of the websites is no more in backup. Whole server has been damaged. The authorized engineer claimed that the server was actually down because of lack of power. Due to some technical problem in server all the backup data now is lost.Government is trying to re-enter all the data and information to the computer.

This is the true scenario of Nepal Government's IT walas. In the past, we have heard many such hacking news not only of Government websites but also of Music industry related persons. The Ministry had in their mouth: shutting down of websites and server failure is solely due to loadshedding. But as usual and the past record verify that these sites are hacked purely, and nothing else than this is true.

Annually millions of brain drain experience are on and not to state of the IT industry, also there is no any less manpower in the Web Security field in Nepal, this is obvious- the trend is as usual only the name of country has changed - NAYA NEPAL.
