How to Puppy Shame Urself in Facebook

Let's see How to Get Puppy Shamed in Facebook.

Click the below Image to view in full screen and then read the blog

Yesterday, I was hanging out with my friends in Facebook wall, Suddenly I noticed my Facebook ticker popped up with a message with my relatives (very old man)

• Mr.XXYXZ has read the following news.
• Poonam Panday goes topless

I was like, what Mamaji , what are you reading. In a minute the reputation is gone, even though he has not committed any sin or crime, this is a very much embarrassing situation.
Then I started doing my research, what went wrong, where and how?

First He has subscribed to Yahoo App, without knowing any privacy features, he has allowed yahoo to publish the articles he read in the yahoo site.

This is the main reason for the most embarrassing situation or being puppy shamed.

Yahoo is not the only app does this, there are other apps like Washington post,
Recently, my friend saw some “Actress Spicy Video Songs” in DailyMotion and the same has been published in his wall too.

What We should know?

First of all, think twice when approving any app to your Facebook, Do you need that ?
Every App has it own privacy setting, you can either remove the option to post on your Facebook wall or you can make this post visiable only to you.

Now Iphone 4s and IOS 5 has completly integrated with twitter, windows phone melted with Facebook, Android with FB ,twitter and Google +.

Now all your so called personnel devices are no more personnel, one wrong move you are exposed to all. So be careful, learn , have knoweledge of the application before using the same.

What I want to Say is... Use Social network wisely

Don't get caught ...

Presenting New Group Feature In FACEBOOK

Everybody Knows Group Feature or Listing is already available in FACEBOOK(FB) , Don’t think what I am going to talk about.


Problem Scenario:

I usually get lot of friends request from Family and some old so called friends or unknown or Friends of Friends, I was either forced to accept (in case of family) or ignore the friends request. I personnaly fell FB is my second world and I don’t want to show case to the whole real world. As of now in FB its either take it or leave it.

Solution

FB has revamped their existing Group or List feature , now we can post status, pictures, link, notes etc and share only to the group. The notification will go only to the group members. I think its really one awesome feature, FB has worked to increase privacy of the user.

They will provide a group email id , so that we can upload photo via Mobile phone or email and it will be shared only to the Group.

The Group will be displayed in your Home page Left side widget and it will show you specific notification count for each group (This is quiet interesting)

Other Features

Secret Group

What ever you post on Group will be visible only to the group members, but the group name and members of Group will be visible in your profile. If that is also a problem then you can set a option called “Secret” to create your own secret group.

Group Chat
FB is introducing Group Chat, so that you can chat with your complete group, its really going to be funny

Download All
FB now will compress all your photos, message, status updates as on zip file and will mail to you, you can keep it as for backup

For More information : Check the Facebook Event 2010

5 Dead Services of Google

1. Google Wave

The Uber cool hyped collaboration tool was finally dead. Google has very recently told they will stop all the future development of Google Wave.
Purpose of Creation:  A Web app for real time communication and collaboration
Reason for Failure: Too many options that confused the users, ultimately led to its failure

2. Google Video

It was actually started before youtube surfaced in Internet , Google video could never reach the popularity of iFlims or Youtube. After acquisition of youtube, Google’s attempt to change youtube as google video was a flopshow, they retained youtube and dropped Google Video

In a recent statement Google admitted that maintaining Youtube was costly for the company , hence we are seeing some pricing for the videos

3. Google NoteBook

The Idea was to take notes while we are browsing, it was integrated with Google Toolbar too, but the service did not go well, Google has stopped  developing it but still supports the old users. But how long

4. Google Answers

Google launched this service against Yahoo answers , but things did not go as planned, it literally failed, now its officially retired , look the Google’s statement
Google Answers is no longer accepting questions.
We’re sorry, but Google Answers has been retired, and is no longer accepting new questions.
Search or browse the existing Google Answers index by using the search box above or the category links below.

5. Other Unknown Services

Jaiku – it’s a micro blogging platform same as twitter, but it never went up as twitter. Google has officially stopped development but its given as open source for others to maintain the same

DogeBall – This service was replaced as Google latitude , it’s a location based service. User can text about their location and find location and friends.

Google Mashup Editor – Not much information is available for this, it was said to be a place where developers can test their code.

Google Lively – it’s a really cool social networking which has ability to create avatars, your own house, even space station , chat with friends, I guess something like virtual reality but it never went up and they have closed the service.

Future Services to Die (All My opinion only)
Orkut

• Google Buzz
• Google Calendar
• Google Alert

Feel Free to tell about others. What ever even Microsoft had great flops like Microsoft BOB, Vista etc..

People’s Choice : Blogspot too :(

What are You Tweeting : Know Yours & others Twitter Stats

I was so happy until a mail from my senior came with all my Tweets stats. I was shocked how come horrified but the truth is he did everything without my user id and password.

Yes there is a site called tweetstats which will give all your activity in Twitter with graph, your RT ( Retweeting) Ratio, whom you Replied the More, which interface is used web or any other 3rd party software

The Tweet density shows in which day , which time you are tweeting the max too

another option is tweet cloud, you can see the words you are using often

you can change the color of the tweet cloud also.

So this stats says i give 2.4 tweets per day :)

This can be used both as good and bad, it can be used for research and spy tool also. people can know whom your are tweeting more like that.

How ever ,now a days people can get the info in Google search and yahoo search hence its not a big deal.

Now pls dont try to put your boy friend / gal friend id in tweetstats and monitor them lolz

How to Add Subtitle in Movie for Media Player & VLC Player

If you got any movie without Subtitles don’t worry, we have a solution for this

Let’s see how to add Subtitle in Movie

Downloading the Subtitles

There are lot of website offering Subtitles, but I am concentrating only on one website

1. Open Browser and go to this site opensubtitles
2. The website provides Subtitles for various languages including Hindi
3. You can search for the desired movie and download the same
4. Save the Subtitles in the same folder, where the movie file exists and rename it exactly with the same name of the movie file

E.G. movie filename: c:\movies\movie_title.avi or movie_title.mp4
subtitle filename: c:\movies\movie_title.sub or movie_title.srt

Point to note :

• There might be a chance of your movie and Subtitles not in a sync, to do that note the Frame Rate of the Movie file : Right Click –> Properties –> Summary Tab and you can see Frame Rate
• Try downloading the Subtitle which matches your Frame Rate, this scenario might happen occasionally

Adding Subtitle in Windows Media Player

Windows Media Player by default support Subtitles, which are burned with Video file, but to add extenal Subtitle you need as special software called DirectVobSub.

• Download the software DirectVobSub and install in your PC
• After installation this software runs in the taskbar .
• Then Switch on the Subtitle feature in the Windows Media Player ( if Required)
• Then open the Movie file, here goes your Movie with subtitles

Adding Subtitle in VLC Player

VLC media player is a highly portable multimedia player and multimedia framework capable of reading most audio and video formats (MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, DivX, MPEG-1, mp3, ogg, aac ...) as well as DVDs, Audio CDs VCDs, and various streaming protocols.

There is no need to download any special software, what you did for Windows Media Player, VLC by default overlay Subtitles

• Download the Subtitles and place in the same folder, as instructed above and VLC Player will automatically read the Subtitles

• Also add subtitle files through the ‘Advanced File Opening’ or the ‘Browse for Subtitles…’ options - located respectively in the File and Video dropdown menu’s.

The VLC Player can be freely downloaded from the site. There are also portable versions of VLC media player available. You can find the Windows version here, and the Mac version here.
