Tell Your Story with Facebook Timeline | Get Geeky

Its been 3 longs months since I have shared a post in my blog.. I am just back after successfully completing my training at Mphasis Learning Academy. Let me start by sharing about this new facebook feature !!

Washington: Facebook begins rolling out its newest feature “Timeline” from today, a move that observers say will not only profoundly alter how its 800 million users interact with the site, but will keep them coming back for decades to come.

The “Timeline,” revealed last week by chief executive Mark Zuckerberg will also likely shock some users, notorious for backlashes in recent years over even small adjustments to the site, let alone a complete re-think of how their lives are presented to the world.

The changes amount to the “heart of your Facebook experience, completely rethought from the ground up,” Zuckerberg told an annual developers conference.

Rick Marini, CEO of the Facebook-focused “career network” BranchOut, which itself boasts millions of users, marveled this week in a conference call with marketers and reporters how the site had managed to build an enduring model.

“If your Timeline becomes an important part of your life — the diary of your life — Facebook may have just locked people in for the next 20 years,” Marini said Wednesday.

If Facebook is “where all of this happens, all your pictures, all your video, everything you’ve ever done,” he added: “you’re never going to leave.”

Zuckerberg said his team’s main aim was “to design a place that feels like your home,” prompting Forrester analyst Sean Corcoran to note that Facebook was “positioning itself as not just your social graph online, but your life online.”

Pete Cashmore, founder of influential tech blog Mashable, this week anticipated the expected response from users in an article for CNN.com under the blunt headline, “You’ll freak when you see the new Facebook.”

The move, Cashmore said, would be likely jarring at first for millions of people who visit the site every day.

But when they see their lives laid out before them in a neat, single page, they will realize Facebook has “unleashed something so remarkable that you didn’t even recognize it at first: A meaningful social network,” he wrote.

Observers saw a clear challenge to ubiquitous search giant Google, as 27-year-old Zuckerberg explained that the site he launched from his Harvard dormitory room in 2004 sought to be a central hub for the Internet.

The overhauled “Timeline” profile pages, as users will see as it opens up to the world Friday, with access further expanded in coming weeks, shows that the social network behemoth has saved everything that’s ever been uploaded.

RAM Optimizer for Win7

Tech-savvy folk are divided over how useful memory cleaning tools can be because Windows (Vista upwards at least) manage memory reasonably well. Most memory cleaning tools are not very useful because many of them use ill-advised techniques that are only relevant to older versions of Windows (pre-Vista).

MemoryCleaner is considerably better because it uses functions built into Windows to judiciously free memory - with no performance impact whatsoever. You can now access Memory Cleaner functions from the tray icon without having to open up the main window. The cleaning prodecures are both silent and the only alert you will see is the amount of RAM recovered briefly displayed in the window.

If you find your RAM usage exceeding 60% regularly, then MemoryCleaner is an absolute must have.


Feature List

1. Trims processes' working set.
2. Clears system cache.
3. Monitors RAM usage and reports minimum, maximum and average (true average, not (min+max)/2).
4. Reports Pagefile and virtual memory usage.

If you’re just preparing to get an internet connection, perhaps a broadband internet connection and you do not know which internet service provider to go for, and then you’re listening to people’s advices on what qualities a good internet service provider should possess and how to get one but what they are giving you is not satisfying then you must be here to know how to know a good internet service provider and which one to go for. Well, you might be on this page because you want to know what qualities a good internet service provider should possess. Below are some points to guild you to choose a better internet service provider.

Quality and Popularity of Service Over Time

To know or gage the quality of an internet service provider you have to consider the popularity of that internet service provider. Most popular internet service providers provide very qualitative and satisfying services which go a long way to make people talk about them to others. If you want the best from your internet connection, go for the best of the internet service providers. More also, the well known internet service providers charge low prices for their service to make their service more affordable and attractive to people.

Cost of service

Another important factor that determines how effective an internet service provider is is the cost of their service. Good internet service providers make you buy bundle plan which is cheaper and better. This also gives you the opportunity to plan your expenditure. If you go for a service provider that is too expensive, you are probably not going to pay for another month’s subscription which means you are not going to be using the internet connection for that period of time till you manage to pay for another expensive fee. When you want to choose an internet service provider, consider the cost of their service and make sure it is affordable for you before you choose them as your internet service provider.

Connection speed

When talking about internet service providers generally, the most important factor that proves the quality of an internet service provider is the speed of their internet connection. How do you know the quality of an internet service provider when you have not used it? It is very simple! If you haven’t used it you must have friends or neighbors who must have used it. All you need to do is meet a few among the people you know and try to use their internet connection, ask for their permission because each page you load deducts from the data package left, and examine the effect of the speed of each internet service provider. After this do you comparison. With this you are sure to know which internet service provider gives the best speed.

Listen to gossips and critiques

A very effective and sure way to get to know more about any service provider is to listen to critics. Critiques are opinions, analyses, favorable and unfavorable checks passed on any services, products and so on. Through listening and reading critiques about the internet service provider you aspire to go for, you are going to see more things that are not known to you about that internet service provider. Critiques mostly come from people who have had great experience of whatever they share their opinions about.

Listen to users’ complaints

If you do not want to fall into the wrong hands, always listen to people who are already using the internet. When I mean people who are using the internet, I don’t mean partial internet users, I mean people who use the internet regularly. When they’re talking to you about the internet service providers they use, let them lay emphasis on the demerits of the internet service providers they’re using because many internet service providers are equally good but some are more equally better than the others.

The points listed and analyzed above are very practical and are sure to help you get the best internet service provider in your area if you put them into full practice.
