This one’s funny ! Honestly I’m tired using those facebook applications that crop up everyday. I have to install one just because my friend installed it. And most of the times, after that 21 click process of installing one application - it turns out to be a crap and you have nothing to do other than to un install the application.

Here’s a new guy  - Arsebook. just for the people who hate facebook. Novel idea huh?

Don’t get excited, It’s only a look alike with some nasty words - not functional at all. All the links on the homepage are dead. I’m hopinig that it will go live someday! ;)

SEO Tips

Yahoo audio search is another favorite Non-Google application of mine, second to Live image search application. Now it’s got even better.

You can now search for audio files (MP3, WAV, MIDI, WMA or AAC)  on the Internet (Online music stores, the web or Podcasts), play the sample from within the search results and if satisfied with the quality and clarity, go ahead to download/buy the song.

In the more options menu, there are even more options to refine your search by selecting the file types you want (MP3, WAV, MIDI, WMA or AAC), the duration fo the song etc. Pretty handy options there!

Small hint here for music lovers: In case you are looking to buy tracks, select the “Online music Stores” option (default), but if you are looking for free downloading of MP3 music, select the “Search web” option. ;)

Indeed a great piece of technology from Yahoo. Google has yet to catch up with it. Googlers..you there ?

Get the whole story here.

I think i came across this tool very late. It was launched in 2006. But this post at Blogoscoped introduced me to this amazing online tool which is an almost online photoshop, image editing program.Yea, true it is - since its launch in Nov, 2006, the fauxto team has been introducing features like in the Adobe Photoshop like working with layers, brushes etc and the latest one zoom.You can upload images online from your local machine or give in an url.
This tool would come in handy when you are on a picnic and needs access to photoshop - goto fauxto.com and you have your own photoshop online.

Hmm yeah i know I’m talking too much about it. But hey - it’s really cool!

Now the Safari 3.0 (with patch) is released and it’s been a week barely, I was wondering if the Safari has really made people switch or not?Firefox seems to be favorite of techno-savvy people like you and me but for an average user, IE still remains the best browser.Atleast, they can’t think of a reason why they should shift to another browser?To them,
Browser=That little blue “e”.

Are Safari’s “killer features” enough to convince an average user(who forms the major chunk of internet users) to switch from IE to Safari?

- Quickness
- Stretchable text areas
- Jumpback
- Security

To me they sound very lame reasons. Not convincing at all .BSN thinks the same.
Frankly, if you ask me why i downloaded Safari, is out of pure curiosity.And i had it cleared after the first use.I don’t use it anymore, but have not uninstalled from the system because I’d like to flash it in front of my colleagues!

I dunno about you guys,but this is my story.

Podcasts are quite a craze these days. Every Tom, Dick , Harry and Mani :) seems to be podcasting their own shows these days. There are indeed a couple of cool ones out there that are free podcasts and really help you in gathering knowledge. I’ve always wanted to create free podcasts for my blog but all the tools i tried came at a price. (Kindly let me know if you know another free podcast generator program.)

Anyhow, today i found the real one i was looking for, actually it delighted me rather than surprising. It gave me all that i was looking for and with quickness and ease that i hadn’t imagined.This is honestly the best one I’ve come across in quite some time. This is a free online tool that will help you create free audio podcasts of your posts on blog.

All you have to do is - register, copy down the html code and add it to the posts. Simple and straight forward. The code shows up a link that will download the corresponding posts mp3 file to the reader.A lady(US accent) recites the entire article srarting with the blog title, post date and author’s name. Quite amazing.

The tool is talkr and you can register here to get this tool.

This one is highly recommended - If you have any trouble setting it up let me know and i’ll be happy to help you with it.
