StumbleUpon:: Extension for IE, Mozilla and Flock users

Hey everyone. The following article is about an extension in a web browser.

I was surfing through the extension page of Flock web browser n came upon this wonderful tool. Its called Stumble Upon. As the name says it all, it helps u to stumble upon any gr8 websites or pictures or videos or arts, graphics, animation,etc. etc. (the list is endless) according to ur interests. All u have 2 do is sign up n create a stumble upon account. U can then keep it in ur web browser (mozilla or flock) as a toolbar. Finally, all u need to do is click on the stumble button n start stumbling into some of the great web pages. 'Njoy.

Another Social Networking Video Site

VodPod is heavily designed around social networking. Have a thing for birds? Join the bird “pod” and you’ll have an instantaneous collection of birding videos. Like unicycling? Some kids from Australia have started a pod around that pastime too. Users can join multiple groups that cluster videos around various subjects that allows them to post and collect new videos that pertain to that topic. Although you don’t have to join a pod or even sign up with VodPod to search pod videos. Users can “lurk” within the pods anonymously without being socially networked.

Semantic web

Everyday we play with a lot of data. For example, I view my appointments in a calendar, view my photographs in my web gallery, check my bank statements online and so on. But can we view our photos in a calendar? The answer is NO. Because each of these applications have their own set of data, which is controlled by these applications themselves.

Semantic Web is a web of data. It provides a common formats for interchange of data, where on the original Web we only had interchange of documents i.e. with Semantic Web, data can be shared and reused across applications, enterprise, and community boundaries. It is based on the Resource Description Framework (RDF).

More news on FLOCK

This is so cooooooooooool. I am loving it so much more. FLOCK has almost all the features a person may want and much more.

With FLOCK, i can integrate my del.icio.us bookmarks into My News feature. Then there's this feature called web snippet. You can save links, text and pictures as snippets so that you can blog about it later

Snippets are especially handy for re-blogging bits of text from web pages. When you drag a snippet into a blog post, it is automatically formatted as a blockquote with proper citation.

FLOCK - a social web browser

I just learnt abt this new browser - FLOCK. Haven't tried all its features, but from what I have tried, it is so cooooooooool. I have also worked with Mozilla Firefox, IE and Opera web browsers. But FLOCK seems to be a little different. It is an amazing new web browser that makes it easier to share media and connect to other people online.

Try it and you will feel the difference. ;-)

Something new

I was just surfing thru blogger and its settings and came across this "Mail-to-Blogger Address" thing. So am writing this blog just to test it. ;-)

A small initiative

IT field in Nepal is a booming industry. Today, no one industry can remain isolated from the developments in the field of IT. Be it banking sector, or hotel industry, or tourism, or software houses, IT is playing a vital role everywhere. With many IT firms opening up and many projects being outsourced to Nepal, IT promises to have a good future.

Nevertheless, I have found that not many girls/women are interested to pursue a career in IT. What maybe the reasons? If its the pressure of the job, then what job doesn't have pressure? If you are to survive in this competitive world, you have got to have a will and the capability to handle pressures. If it is the odd hours that the IT jobs demand, then there are always other options within the IT industry. In fact, IT jobs are more flexible, in terms that you can even work from the comforts of your home.

I feel that we have narrowed our horizon in terms of IT. Whenever we talk of IT jobs, we restrain ourselves to programming or designing or networking jobs. But IT is much beyond that.

In order to analyze the reasons for lower participation of females in IT sector, we have initiated a project titled "Women in IT". With this initiative, we hope be better able to know why girls do not view IT jobs as a promising and rewarding career.

A world in itself

Google is a world in itself. With a variety of features like calculator, currency converter, Google maps, code search, Google alerts, the ever-popular Google search and soooooooo many other features, Google gives its users all they want and much more.

Fritz Schneider, Nancy Blachman and Eric Fredricksen have even published a book named "How to Do Everything with Google". You can even learn a lot about Google features at http://www.google.com/help/features.html#pdf OR at http://www.googleguide.com/favorite_features.html.

Drupal Writeshop

The concept of writeshop was quite new to me. Had heard it for the first time. So, I didn't know what to expect out of the "Drupal Writeshop" held on November 12, 2006 at SAP-Falcha. But, having attended the writeshop now, I can say that the concept is worth implementing. Enjoyed it thoroughly.
