The most new feature on Facebook in 2013

2013-01-12T10:51:00.000+05:30

The most new feature on Facebook in 2013

Facebook is at it again, the are introducing a new system. Facebook is testing out yet another new feature, and this time it’s almost unbelievable . Facebook is testing a service that charges you $100 to send a message to a strange !!! Yap. So, instead of having the message land in their “Other” inbox, it will go straight to their main inbox.

Some of the Facebook users had reported a interesting popup when they attempt to send messages to people outside of their friend network. The popup notes that the message will be filtered to the “Other” inbox of the recipient, but offers to deliver it to the top of the recipient’s inbox for a staggering $100.

Now Facebook first began experimenting with this kind of option last month when it first introduced filters, including the “Other” folder. In initial tests, the fee was just $1. However, according to Mashable, Facebook confirms the $100 option is part of that test, and they say they’re testing “some extreme price points to see what works to filter spam.”

Mashable reported seeing $100 as the fee to send a message to Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, but sending messages to other strangers result in the same price, which means that the fee isn’t based on the popularity of the user. However, unless you’re part of the test group, you still can’t send a message to strangers, and there’s no word on when or if the feature will be rolling out. It’s also entirely possible that if the service eventually launched, the fee might change.

Tech News - Skype founder browsing the world for next hot tech idea

2013-01-12T10:50:00.000+05:30

Tech News - Skype founder browsing the world for next hot tech idea !!!

Niklas Zennstrom, co-founder of internet phone service Skype, believes the next hot tech business will just as likely spring from Istanbul or Sao Paolo as from Silicon Valley or the coolest districts of London.

And he is prepared to fly around the world to find it.

"Talent can pop up anywhere in the world, it's not just one city block," the Swedish entrepreneur and venture capitalist said at the headquarters of his Atomico fund, based on upmarket New Bond Street in central London.

Zennstrom, who retains faint traces of a Swedish accent despite his years of globetrotting, is looking for start-ups ready to shift up a gear into new markets and has the experience, gained from growing Skype into a service used by millions around the world, to help them.

Skype was sold to eBay in 2005 for roughly $3 billion, before being bought back by a consortium including Zennstrom in 2009 and then two years later sold on to Microsoft for $8.5 billion, leaving him a multi-millionaire.

"If you have a product that works it's important to scale (up) the business as quickly as possible," said Zennstrom, named by Time Magazine in 2006 as one of its 100 most influential people. "As entrepreneurs, usually you may not have that experience; how does Asia work? Europe? Latin America?"

Atomico, founded by Zennstrom in 2006, has invested in companies in northern Europe including Finland-based Rovio, developer of Angry Birds, and Hailo, a London-based startup that has developed an app that connects passengers with taxi drivers and has raised $20 million so far.

It also led a $105 million funding round for US online retailer Fab in July.

Future portfolio

The investment fund, whose London office reception is decked out with simple designer furniture and modern art pieces, has opened offices in Turkey and Brazil, emerging markets with growing middle classes eager to shop online and buy internet services.

Zennstrom wants to make these markets a large part of Atomico's portfolio in future.

The firm in 2011 backed Brazilian online retailers such as car parts supplier Connect Parts and announced a $16 million investment in a Russian online travel agency in October.

Atomico is not necessarily looking for the latest gizmo or internet trend, but savvy businesses with talented leaders who can take advantage of growth in nascent sectors such as e-commerce.

And Zennstrom, softly spoken and wearing an open-necked shirt and dark jacket, believes emerging market growth is fuelling a new breed of optimism and ambition.

"It's a much more of an entrepreneurial spirit (in Turkey and Brazil) compared to southern European where it's a depressed mindset," he said.

Zennstrom earned his stripes in the tech world after helping launch file-sharing service Kazaa more than a decade ago, which failed as a business but paved the way for Skype.

He said getting investment today was far easier than when he was starting Skype. It took him a year to secure funding, whereas today the most talented entrepreneurs with the best ideas could take their pick of investors.

There is also increasing recognition that entrepreneurs might want to realise some of the value of their creations, something he said was lacking when Skype became successful.

"There was really no IPO market and it was not really accepted for founders to sell some of their shares to get some money off the table," he said, adding that before Skype was sold to eBay, he could not even secure a mortgage on an apartment.

"I think we made the right decision for the time in terms of selling (Skype)," he said. "Today as an entrepreneur you have more options."

Internet use critical for women in India says Intel

2013-01-11T08:22:00.005+05:30

Internet use critical for women in India says Intel

More needs to be done to boost women's and girl's lagging online access, tech giant Intel said in a report to be released later that calls for doubling the number of female internet users in developing nations over the next three years.

The report, funded by the global chipmaker with input from the United Nations and US State Department, among others, points to stubborn gaps in women's access to the internet in Africa, the Middle East and other developing parts of the world.

It found women are nearly 25 per cent less likely than men to be online in those regions, and called on policymakers and technology companies to take steps such as making it easier to access the internet on mobile phones, allowing free mobile content and boosting digital literacy to shrink the gap.

Surveys and interviews with more than 2,200 women and girls focused on four developing countries - Egypt, India, Mexico and Uganda - found that internet access was critical for women to earn more money or search and apply for jobs.

"With the powerful capabilities the internet enables - to connect, to learn, to engage, to increase productivity, and to find opportunities - women's lack of access is giving rise to a second digital divide, one where women and girls risk being left further and further behind," said Melanne Verveer, ambassador for global women's issues at the State Department.

Although the United States and other developed nations see fairly high levels of overall internet access and usage among women, some gaps remain, mostly in rural areas or among the poor.

In the developing world, however, the gap is far wider. Just 11 per cent of men and women in India have Internet access compared to 79 per cent in the United States, said Shelly Esque, a vice president for the chipmaker and president of its educational foundation.

Thursday's report shows 600 million women in developing nations, or 21 per cent, are online now, and another 450 million are expected to gain internet access by 2016. But taking extra steps could help bring an additional 150 million women and girls online over the next three years, the report said.

Good for global economy

Esque pointed to the role technology played in the Arab Spring revolts, particularly in Egypt.

"Information was such a powerful tool," she told Reuters. "What would be the potential for a country like that if they were able to have more equal access? We need to work on that."

A UN Human Rights Council resolution last year recognized the power of the internet to spur progress and encouraged countries to promote and facilitate access to it.

Still, many women surveyed by Intel cited barriers ranging from the belief that internet use was not "appropriate" for them to the cost of getting connected. Illiteracy and lack of awareness about potential uses also were factors.

Increased access would not only improve women's lives but also boost the global economy, according to Intel's report.

It would add between $50 billion and $70 billion in potential new market opportunities, the report said. It could also bring another $13 billion to $18 billion each year globally to the market value of goods and services - a measure known as gross domestic product or GDP.

The findings by the Santa Clara, California-based company aim to encourage other technology companies, policymakers and nongovernmental groups to take steps to get more women and girls online, it said.

"Without access to the internet, women lack access to its tools, resources and opportunities," the report said. "This gap disadvantages not just women, but their families, communities and countries."

Google‘s Eric Schmidt urges for internet freedom in North Korea

2013-01-11T08:22:00.004+05:30

Google chairman Eric Schmidt told North Korea it will not develop unless it embraces internet freedom, he said as he returned from a controversial visit to the communist state with US politician Bill Richardson.

Richardson, the former US ambassador to the United Nations who led the trip, said he called on Pyongyang to adopt a moratorium on ballistic missiles and nuclear tests following the its widely criticised rocket launch last month.

Speaking at Beijing airport, he said efforts to "strongly urge" North Korea, a highly secretive and tightly-controlled country, to increase the use of the Internet were "the main success of the visit".

Schmidt said he told North Korean officials they should open up the country's Internet "or they will remain behind".

"As the world becomes increasingly connected, their decision to be virtually isolated is very much going to affect their physical world, their economic growth and so forth, and it will make it harder for them to catch up economically," he said.

"Once the Internet starts, citizens in a country can certainly build on top of it. The government has to do something. It has to make it possible for people to use the Internet which the government in North Korea has not yet done."

Richardson, also a former governor of New Mexico, said: "We strongly urged the North Koreans to proceed with a moratorium on ballistic missiles and possible nuclear test."

The delegation did not meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un but had a "series of very frank discussions" with officials on "the current level of tension in the peninsula", he said, adding: "The North Koreans need to temper their nuclear development."

North Korea angered the US and others in December by launching a long-range rocket which it claimed was part of a program to put a scientific satellite into orbit. Washington and other nations called it a disguised ballistic missile test.

The US State Department has voiced concern about Richardson's trip, saying it was ill-timed in the wake of the rocket launch.

The high-profile delegation visited North Korea's largest library and paid respects to its late leaders, according to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

KCNA, which described the visitors as a Google delegation, said they went to reading and lecture rooms at the Grand People's Study House and a mausoleum housing the bodies of late leaders Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il.

"The members of the delegation paid high tribute to the statues of the peerlessly great men," it said.

Richardson has been to North Korea a number of times in the past two decades and has been involved in negotiating the release of US citizens held in the isolated country.

During the latest trip discussions took place on Kenneth Bae, an American of Korean descent who is being held in North Korea, and Richardson said he had been told he was "in good health" but did not meet him personally.

Bae was arrested in November after entering the country as a tourist, according to the North's official news agency, which said he had admitted committing a crime against the state.

North Korea has in the past agreed to hand over detainees to high-profile delegations led by the likes of former US president Bill Clinton.

Richardson last visited the North in 2010 when he met its chief nuclear negotiator to try and ease tensions after the country shelled a South Korean border island.

Sugarsync Php Api Class to Manage Cloud Storage

Hello in this tutorial I will show you how to use a sugarsync class and manage manage your cloud storage.The Sugarsync class was written by Daniel Huesken. This class has all the functionality of sugarsync.All you have to do is to do the followings step.

Go to SugarSync Developer and signup for Free.

Login to you developer consol, on dashboard you will get Create App Link. Provide the Required credentials. Now you can use the below class to you needs.

Remember to change the constants with the keys provided by sugarsync.

STEP1

const PRIVATE_ACCESS_KEY= '';//Your Access Key

const ACCESS_KEY_ID = ''; //Your Key Id

const APP_ID = ''; //Your App Id

STEP2
Sugarsync needs a refresh token to authenticated for first time for a user app. You must need the refresh token to get access to api. To generate refresh token use the following code;


require('sugarsync.class.php');
$refreshtoken = new SugarSync;
$refreshtoken = $do->get_Refresh_Token('your sugar login  email','your sugarsync password');
///NOW STORE THIS TOKEN FOR FURTHER USE

NOW AFTER GETTING TOKEN OPEN THE CLASS USING THE TOKES



$sugarsync  = new SugarSync($refreshtoken);

//GET USER INFO ARRAY
$user=$sugarsync->user();

//GET USAGE DETAILS
$sugarsyncfreespase=(float)$user->quota->limit-(float)$user->quota->usage;

//SET ROOT FOLDER		
$root =  $user->webArchive;


//Create folder
$sugarsync->mkdir('mywebdir',$root); //you may create dir or upload directly to a folder
//Change folder
$dirid=$sugarsync->chdir('mywebdir',$root); // If you want to set root folder use $sugarsync->chdir('',$root);

//Read dir and files
$folders= $sugarsync->getcontents('folder'); //get folder list
$files = $sugarsync->getcontents('files'); //get file list


//Download
      $response=$sugarsync->get(urldecode("Get file ref by $files->ref")); 
    //Remember files are in list so get your own logic to get individual file
      header("Pragma: public");
      header("Expires: 0");
      header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
      header("Content-Type: ".(string)$response->mediaType);
      header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
      header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
      header("Content-Type: application/download");
      header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".(string)$response->displayName.";");
      header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
      header("Content-Length: ".(int)$response->size);
      print($sugarsync->download(urldecode($_GET['file'])));
      die();

//Upload 
   DO it yourself for request in comment

What is local Drive Space Contribution ?

When you contribute to the network, you’re contributing some of your excess local drive space (from your computer, external hard drive or NAS device, server, etc.) to the Symform Cloud. So using your local space you get cloud space which are secure.

How Does Contribution Work?

During configuration, you select a destination–a device and folder–to serve as your contribution location for Symform.

You set your bandwidth and determine how much of it Symform can use.

Symform works in the background, uploading your files and contributing data fragments without any interruption to your other applications or processes.

Symform lets you know if you need to contribute more local drive space, based on how much cloud storage you are using.

To get totally free cloud storage you need to contribute local drive space equal to two times the amount you want to store in the cloud.

Which Came First? The PHP Tutorial Script Or the Website?

Which Came First? The PHP Tutorial Script Or the Website?

Never mind the chicken or the egg. The burning philosophical question of our cyber age is, which came first, the PHP tutorial script or the website? You see the list of instructions that your PC follows when it displays a website on your screen, the software in other words is a symbolic language called PHP. It's called a language, but it is a language very unlike English, whether it is US or UK or any other kind.

Unlike language as we humans think of it, PHP tutorial scripts are not meant to be heard or listened too or even spoken. PHP tutorial scripts are learnt by people in order to be written and then 'read' and operated by computers alone.

PHP tutorial scripts are strings of symbols that operate only as pixels on screen and as digital data on your computers hard disk and on the servers of your Internet service provider. So have you ever wondered what happens to all those web pages, words and images when you move away from the website?

I always imagine them to be like the hologram of Princess Leia in the Star Wars movie. When you open up a website the PHP script leaps to life in front of your eyes and just as quickly reverts to PHP encoded script when you maneuver away from any particular site. So if nobody is visiting your website at any given time does it exist at all? Rather it only exists as a PHP tutorial script. That is to say PHP tutorial scripts only exist in a symbolic world until activated and then they only exist in a different symbolic world as long as you are looking at them. "Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope!"

Now you can go to PHP tutorial script websites and learn to write the language of PHP scripts that will then generate websites of infinite variety and designed to your PHP scripting. (Really it isn't as difficult as becoming a Jedi knight). So hence the question that we began with, (boy aren't you glad you started this?) which came first the PHP tutorial script or the website?

Am I just contemplating my navel or does all this PHP tutorial script talk have anything to do with real life. Well quite a lot actually. "Search your feelings Luke. You know it's true"? You can turn a PHP tutorial script into cash and earn a very good living as a PHP programmer.

The online job site oDesk is finding that number of projects for PHP programmers is growing faster than any other freelance sector and the wages paid for these projects are rising faster too. ODesk also report that "overall, PHP demand was twice that of any other programming language. Open source technology, led by PHP and MySQL, is by far the skill set in highest demand today."

PHP tutorial scripts are better than any other coding platform because it is free. Very flexible and offers a huge support network of other PHP scripters. There is an extensive library of PHP tutorial scripts that can be tailored, are transferable and match to fit almost any web application.

TOP PAYING CPM ADVERTISEMENT NETWORKS

2010-05-12T21:25:00.000+05:30

THERE ARE MANY CPM AND CPA AD NETWORKS IN THE INTERNET . I HAVE SORTED FEW OF THEM FOR MAXIMIZING THE REVENUE THROUGH ADVERTISING .

CPM (Cost Per thousand Impressions), generally on publishers’ point of views are how much one can earn when an ad gets 1000 impressions on the website. Some ad networks pay $3/CPM, some $4, but the average is about that. If you have 700 regular unique visitors generates about 1000 impressions a day on your site, these people are not likely to click on CPC ads, so I’d say CPM ads are probably a better way out. Here’s few of the top paying CPM ad networks that I’ve come to know, used or heard before. If you have more, I’d be happy to add them in. Full list after jump.

Organics traffics from search engines convert good to CPC, but visitors who visit your site on regular basis (the direct ones) will hardly clicks on these CPC ads.
