Ranjith’s Castle

How many of you use IM@ibalerts.com via GTalk. I am a sparse follower of day today news. I got interested by the release of the News via IM Alerts by IBN Live. But the alerts are not upto the mark. They send a link along with every alert they send. But none of the urls have a unique url. Every URL lands on the ibnlive.com home page and does not have a relevant news pertaining to the url.

I am not sure whether IBN live is working on such a thing which gives news according the url and the content send across.

I don’t say it is not useful. But I am going to keep myself away from clicking those urls.

Gender Analyser is an online service that can tell you who you are just by analyzing your writings. But I will rage it only a 33% perfect finder.

It gave a excellent 89% Male guess for my Ranjith’s Castle

But it failed misserably on my other two sites

It showed a gender neutral guess for Technical Tales and made a 59% female guess for my The Rain Drops ….

I am not sure what are the basic criteria used by this site to make the wild guess.

Do check how your writing sound to the external world.

Twitter is a micro blogging application on the web. I really hate the punch line “What are you doing?“. I do all my micro blogging under the name “From My Mind“.

Twitter should give some option to change the Tag Line to whatever people like to put there..

Expecting Twitter to come out back with the IM Option soon !!!

Cheers - Ranjith

There is an option of Pages from India in both the search engines Yahoo and Google. There is a basic flaw in the way yahoo displays the results for this option. I have my blog hosted with skynet hosing an US hosting company. But I am also looking at changing my service provider to India Hosting. I often use to check where my blog stands for a check on google and Yahoo for wrods like ranjith,ranjith kumar,etc., Good to see that my site comes third on Google

I used to write about India and the surroundings of Tamil Nadu on my travel and other stuffs. I thought of searching with the pages from India options.

Yahoo treats Pages hosted in India are only the pages from India. On the contrary, Google lists my page at the same place as all the previous entries of mine holds thoughts and writings about India in spite of the hosted province.

That is good right, a page having information about India is a page from India. It seems Yahoo has taken the English meaning of the phrase while Google has taken the contextual meaning and implemented what people exactly need.

These are the small things that makes Google go big on the Search Market.

It is interesting to know that a date last for 24 hours. I saw the following quote on one of my friends chat status message.

A day lasts 24 hours, but a date lasts 48 hours!

Every one know that the world rotates and one part of earth sleeps while the other part runs in day life. To be more precise, for a person the day has 24 hours starting from 00:00:00 am to 23:59:59 PM. But when you see the date of the month. It starts for a person sitting @ x deg longitude @ 00:00:00 hours and ends for a person sitting @ x + delta deg. longitude on the west is? at 23:59:59 PM the previous da(y)te. So for a particular date to go out of the earth in not 24 hours and it will take 48 hours.

This is defined by the International DateLine. [Little hard to visualize, But Interesting…]

Cheers - Ranjith
