Twt.fm provides you with a personalized URL for your music tweet. It displays the shared music in a Twitter-like manner including the avatar. There’s also a “retweet” link so that others may share the music tweet as well. You can also view their tracks-page to see what others are sharing.

Extensions on Google Chrome by May.

noreply@blogger.com (Prashanth Reddy) — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 12:45:00 +0000

We all know Chrome, the new browser started by google. It started with the most basic and common features that everyone asked for. But now, we see Google slowly is adding more and more features to Chrome.

One of the reasons why lots of people still aren't using Chrome as their primary browser is because of lack of extensions (plugins, addons) in it. But firefox has a vast collection of addons available.

And according to the Google OS blog, it is expected that we will see Chrome with extensions by May 2009. A session on Chrome extensions at Google I/O conference documents revealed some information that give hints of extensions coming to Chrome.

Learn how Google Chrome makes it easy to write extensions using the web technologies you already know. This talk will cover the basics of the extensionsystem (distribution/packaging, installation, updates), as well as the different APIs to enhance with the browser.

I wonder if this will work out the right way for Chrome?

noreply@blogger.com (Prashanth Reddy) — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 12:44:00 +0000

I think we all use twitter. And twitter is a great place, but it's missing something: emoticons.

Lot's of users use emoticons, but they use those boring emoticons :)

And since you can't use graphics on Twitter...

Using them is very simple. Just double-click the emotiocn you want to use, and press Ctrl + C to copy it. And just Press Ctrl + V to paste it where ever you want to display it. You are not restricted to use them just on Twitter. They can also be used on other sites and social networks.

MergePDF: Fuse your small sized PDF documents.

noreply@blogger.com (Prashanth Reddy) — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 12:43:00 +0000

You may have lots of small PDF documents. It's a bit annoying to have all those files in one document. So here is MergePDF. this is an online tool that you can use to merge PDF documents into a single file. Now you can combine all of your multiple, small sized PDF documents to one document.

With MergePDF, you are allowed to merge up to 10 PDFs with sizes not exceeding 5MB, for each process.

If you think that the file size limit is rather small, you’ll have to do it using desktop applications such as Acrobat PRO or some other PDF related desktop software. If you’re merging large files, then most probably you don’t want them to be lurking around the internet anyway. Even if MergePDF stated that the files that are uploaded are removed right after the merge process is completed.

The only thing that is not safe in itself is the data transfer as we are not
transferring through SSL. If our users send us an email requesting SSL, we will
happily address that and provide upload over https.

This is a cool and simple tool for doing a simple task and it won’t cost you anything. It merges PDFs, no manipulating no editing,that’s as simple as it gets.

Whspr: receiving emails without giving your email address.

noreply@blogger.com (Prashanth Reddy) — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 15:12:00 +0000

well, here is Whspr: a new messaging tool that you can use if you want to receive email messages from people you don’t know without handing them your email address. You can use this on twitter, in forums and chat rooms. this way you can keep your email hidden from other users

For example: let's say you want to advertise a job opening on Twitter, and you
don’t want to share your company email address for safety. Some applicants may
not want to post a public @reply, and they can’t send you a direct message if
you don’t already follow them. Include a whspr! URL, and they can reach you
discreetly.

What the tool does is create a URL/page for you to share. That page contains a message box where anybody can type in their message. It’s like having your own contact form or comment from that you see on blogs and websites. You can set an expiration period for the message page.
The messages sent to you through the Whspr page will then be forwarded to your email. The service also uses Captcha to prevent spam and you have the power to delete your Whspr page anytime. Just remember that this is just for receiving. Replying to the messages will definitely reveal your email address.

SnappyFingers: A new question and answer Search Engine.

noreply@blogger.com (Prashanth Reddy) — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 11:30:00 +0000

SnappyFinger has one goal, and that's answering all those FAQ's (frequently asked questions). The search engine is more focused to give relevant results to the frequent questions. You might find the answer your looking for through SnappyFingers.

We are building the most comprehensive database of Questions and Answers on the
web.
There are tons of search engines that are online now and probably more
are on the way. The only problem on those search engines that are popping out
nowadays is that they only aggregate search results from other search engines.
Some search sites are just acting as portals for more popular ones. It’s good to
know that there are developers who are concerned in creating new algorithms for
better and faster search results.

With SnappyFingers the search results are not limited to very few characters. It actually lives up to its promise to provide answers to your questions and not just links. You can actually get the idea by just reading the search results. If in any case you don’t find what you are looking for in SnappyFingers, you can always ask someone (a real person) from the Yedda Community. The Yedda widget can also be found on the SnappyFingers site.

Leaked photo's of the HTC Google android G2.

noreply@blogger.com (Prashanth Reddy) — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 06:59:00 +0000

Well, here at Studentspedia we inform you on the newest gadgets and services. And I know lots of people were looking out for the Google phone (google G1), Well here is the next one. The G2 is the Google Android powered smartphones by HTC.

the HTC T-Mobile G1, didn't quite catch the spark. And although Google announced an unlocked version of the Android G1 around the 2008 holidays, people still preferred the iPhone 3G. But this will change soon, as Gizmodo uncovered some leaked photos of the new handset which appears to be quite authentic.

The first thing you would notice is its shiny plastic finish, which is very much welcoming from the pale gray look on G1. Also this time there is not a physical keyboard present, which is a little disappointing. Though the touchscreen is large, but we know the current Android interface had some issues.

The back side has a new surprise a 3.2 Mega Pixel camera, though even mid range phones for vendors like Nokia boast a 5.0 Mega Pixel camera these days. What would be interesting is the video capabilities of the G2 ( don't know if it actually has this).

The current rumors suggest that this handset would hit the shelves this summer though there are still no official announcement. The only thing I personally like to see is a prettier interface than the current one, but the only thing we can do for now is wait for the official word on the release.

How to find the “real IP address" of a web site?

noreply@blogger.com (Prashanth Reddy) — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 01:02:00 +0000

You can use the PING utility included with Windows to determine the “real” IP address of a web site. Before using this utility, make sure you are not mapping a host name to some IP address with HostName Commander, because if you do, the PING utility will show the address you’ve set up with HostName Commander, instead of the “real” IP address.

To run the PING utility, click on the Windows Start button, and choose Run from the Start Menu. If you use Windows 95,98, or Me, enter “command” (without the quotes) as the command line to run. If you use Windows XP,2000, or NT, enter “cmd” (again, without the quotes). Click OK and the command prompt window should appear on the screen.

Now enter the word “ping” (without the quotes) followed by a space, followed by the host name you want to determine the IP address of, and press Enter:

In this example, the IP address of the host name www.rkgit.edu.in is 74.52.201.2 & IP Address of the host name www.kiet.edu is 220.225.19.55 . (Keep in mind that the IP address may change in the future!). If the PING utility reports an error, make sure your computer is connected to the Internet when you are running it.
