In the words of a Celebrity Rockstar “2Blue (AKA Tirthankar), Lead Vocalist of the Rock Band Zedde” on Facebook

Dear God,

I simply adore my Facebook friends. I love it when they write in…

I also love it when they tag me in notes, videos, and photographs.

But lately, some of them have been using web applications to pick friends at random and tag them in group photographs.

If there’s a better way of keeping in touch, please don’t hesitate to let them know.

Thanks God!

Prompt is the word for Bijay. I had a major issue to be fixed on PaGaLGuY Website (Inzane Labs) and had approached several people regarding that. The issue remained unsolved for months. But when Bijay joined the firm, and I approached him with the matter, He jumped into it and got this Sorted out for which I assume he had to do a lot of R&D too. He is very dedicated, committed to his work and certainly knows his work very well. Technically sounds and very helpful.

I will put more to this Story..

for the time being lets keep it as much as I can Write at the moment…

Ok, you come from a Poor Background, or lets say a Slum in Mumbai, and The Mumbai Police, The Riches of Mumbai or People around the World who take pleasure in insulting you and maybe call your a SlumDog now that the Word has become so famous, and you can’t pronounce a certain word in English, or lets say you have some regional/mother tounge influence when you speak… and feel that you can not match up to the Riches….

Internet is at your Rescue…

Everyone knows, Internet is a huge thing..

Look at the following example and see How People collect the Courage and dare to ask Questions which many would call idiotic.

And that there are People who actually Answer the Question..

http://www.englishforums.com/English/Hiya/blwnk/post.htm

I don’t want to say more…

I think that speaks for themselves, the Power of Social Media, Internet, Willingness to go get it…. and the list goes on, I could keep typing some keys here…

It was a Busy Day so the Updates comes rather late..

Almost 20 Hours late…

My Name appeared in The Telegraph, Kolkata Yesterday, 12th August Quoting my Fast and Furious Tweeter Updates about the Earth Quake that Kolkata saw (and I felt last the previous night) and the Huge Power of Social Media that the Whole World is witnessing for last few Years.. Abhishek Sir updated me in morning itself.. I haven’t even seen it yet…

EDIT

The Article can be seen at The Telegraph Website:

Quake response primitive: Minister
- Government agencies left unshaken by tremors in the city; Twitter users on the button

Here is what they Quoted.. (My Username (rungss) was spelled incorrectly(Rungs) though, they left one s at the end)

While the men who matter were in the dark during an emergency, Calcuttans on Twitter were exchanging updates on the button. “… the sofa’s shaking! EARTHQUAKE!!,” twitted Burbleon almost in real time. Rungs quipped: “It was like Waves, not what I thought earthquakes were. As if I was on a vessel at Sea.”

There was another Twitter User @Burbleon who was Quoted.

My name used to feature during 1996-98 when I was doing my 11th and 12th and taking Coaching for Engineering Exams.
Back then there was a Supplement every Monday named Know How with a Section on Brainstorming with Mathematical Puzzles…

I was always Good in Maths and the Puzzles so It used to be fairly easy for me to Crack the Puzzles almost every Monday. Apparently, Brainstorming Team even used to write my name even if I didn;t answer for certain Mondays’ Paper..

For those who don’t want to hurt their friends’ feelings yet be able to hide those Friends’ Tweets…

Feature Prospects:

Can be useful when you don’t wan’t to hear from your Friends of type (Friends with whom you are flirting at the moment etc..) at Office Hours… Or if lets say you want to focus on Work for a couple of hours but can’t miss your Other Contacts’s (e.g, Business Contacts) Tweets…

It can be achieved very easily simply by having a field where you manage as to from which Friends/People whom you are following, you do not wish to to see the Updates.

This can be enabled and disabled at any time.

Wow This should be Cool..

Although I couldn’t use it yet, coz the Authorization didn’t work.

Delicious is my most used real Productivity Social Media Application..

Sharing the Same without EXtra efforts will be real Cool…

I guess It includes the Text Description I write and the Tags in the Twitter Update.

Cheers,

• The long URL:

  Say a site generates a URL that’s 70 characters long or more. When you copy, paste and e-mail this URL, a line break is added. Then, people can’t click on the link or it only links to the first part of the URL.

  Besides that rungss suggests Avoiding Special Characters in Urls. Include Only ([0-9a-zA-Z_-]*) and the slash / if needed

If you browse from Public places:
DO the following:

When you are leaving:

Logout from all messangers after you’re done.

In Firefox: Tools -> CLear Private Data => In the window scheck them all and go…

In Safari, You can start a Private Browsing session when you start Browsing…

Google Chrome should also have similar options…

IE, you know we just don’t trust…..
But there are some options…

try to check..

Be nice to others as well, (You will help protect the Privacy of those who browsed before you in the same PC if you also follow the same instructions when you sit in front of the Computer)

Relating it with what is written in the Loos in the Indian Trains will be very Dirsty thought…. DOn’t be so naughty…

I have noticed this on several occasions now.

Haven’t the Online media/Internet Services Companies in India heard the concept of un-subscription links, spamming and the efforts around the world to fight against it..

I just received an email from BharatMatrimony with  the following Subject.

Murugavel Janakiraman[CEO of BharatMatrimony.com] just sent you a Matrimony Day e-card

The email had no link to Unsubscribe for future emails. To make things worse the email was a duplicate copy of another email with the same content that i received yesterday.

Previously I have noticed absence of unsubscription links in many other mails sent by such Indian Companies.

To name the others my Inbox has many emails without any links/instructions to unsubscribe from contest2win.com which i joined only because my Friend Ekalabya is a part of it  sent many mails

Being an Indian It causes a lot of pain to me to see that these companies do not meet this very basic Standard Practice.

Where are we heading?

Have a Broadcast Information message at the top of the first visit of your registered user after any important revision.

Make sure to not display it in all pages. Have a System where you can log as to which User has already been notified about the issue.

Its preferable if the message snippet can be closed/hidden without disturbing any other part of the Page.

I just received a Newsletter from Twine.

I noticed a one click Unsubscription link

from         Twine reply-to     Twine to           XXXXXXXXXXXX@XXXX.comdate         Fri, Aug 1, 2008 at 5:15 AMsubject      Twine Newsletter - We've Got New Features!mailed-by    b.cts.vresp.comsigned-by    vresp.com

Here is the Unsubsciption message and url

If you no longer wish to receive these emails, please reply to this message with “Unsubscribe” in the subject line or simply click on the following link: Unsubscribe_Link

The url was
http://cts.vresp.com/u?453d0eb783/5bf2fb0803/c97cd5e

simple enough..
So here goes my recommendations on Newsletters/Emails UnSubscription mechanism

Provide a simple enough short url (The end User should be able to view the entire url in the Status Bar provided the option is enabled) with key only for un-subscription link.

No confirmation required obviously because you don’t presume a threat of the key being received by an authorized person.

No Annoyances… and you might win (As Twine just did mine) the trust of the User even though you are loosing a Subscription for perhaps a single type of messages…

Helps you in the long run.
