By now, almost everyone on the earth must be using Twitter for business purpose or personal. You could send the URLs / Links through twitter or opt for URL shortening services like bit.ly which I prefer to use. Twitter’s new domain, T.CO will be used as the official link shortener to protect users from malicious sites. T.CO links will appear within all tweets and direct messages. T.CO links will be monitored for malware. If malware is reported or detected then a T.CO link is flagged and a warning is shown to a user before visiting.

Users can still use existing link shortening services such as bit.ly, but those shortened links will be “wrapped” within an official T.CO link.

This link service will also be used to collect data as link click throughs, eventually to determine if the tweet is relevant and interesting to the twitter community.

Though some of us may have reservations about obsureness of URL shortening services that does not allow to understand what this URL is about, T.CO promised to offer display of whole URL and sensible part of it so that user understands where this URL can take them.

What are your thoughts about this new service from Twitter?

There are couple of options you would have. The first option is to watch it here on this blog itself.

First of all, this blog itself shall show you live matches for this season at Live ICC T20 world cup page, currently it is but just in case there may be lag in updating the page at times from my side, then I don’t want you guys to keep on waiting for it, so will give you another option too.

Second option is bit tricky, and you would involve downloading a TV streaming software.

Go to this website: http://www.rojadirecta.com/ and search for “cricket” in Today’s internet TV box

It will show that the match will be available through various types of TV streaming software, I only see two at the moment, so I chose both, but the first one Tvants is not working, so I went with PPlive which is a chinese website. Download that from http://www.pptv.com/en/

Once downloaded and installed, open the “Play” link from rojadirecta website. That will open up the TV channel in the PPLIVE software you have downloaded.

I think I shall apologize to my UK users who love cricket that I forgot to tell you about something important. It’s just tomorrow, in next 14 hours, IPL season 3 will start and if you are still wondering how to watch IPL matches, then you landed at right place.

IPL 2010 to be broadcast exclusively on ITV, the oldest commercial TV Network in the UK after Indian Premier League signed the UK broadcast deal recently. ITV will broadcast all 60 matches over 45 days for free all over UK (England, Scotland, Wales and North Ireland) on ITV4 channel. The IPL matches will be simultaneously available on ITV.com and ITV mobile. With UK’s fast broadband connectivity, you shall be able to watch the matches free online as well if your mobile supports internet.

I am so thrilled to find a way to watch IPL sitting on the sofa on my nice 32″ LCD TV set.

This is so weird, that I am using gmail since so many years but never needed to embed an image while composing mail. This is very useful if you would like to insert / embed the images in the email itself at specific places instead of attaching those images. When I needed it today, I was not sure how so did a bit of research in my Gmail settings and found out the trick. So this how you can do it.

1.Check if you have ‘Rich formatting’ enabled.

2. If you already have it enabled, it will show all buttons except the one for inserting images.

3. Go to Gmail settings and then click on ‘Labs’

4. In Labs, there are various features waiting for you to try, search for ‘image’ or find out ‘Inserting images’ and enable the option and save it (save button is at the bottom of the page).

5. Come back to ‘Compose mail’ and look at the html formatting bar, it shall look like the one below allowing you to insert the images.
