Flock!!

I just got a message from Nishit, Flock has been released!!

And here it is...I am testing the first version of flock blog posting.

Let's c how it works!!

Yeah it works cool.

Nice work from the Flock people.

Thanks Nishit for informing me.

Getting Googled!!

Well this is the second month of being googled!!

Since I joined USC and put up my page I am listed at the result of the first query.

And even more strange...my original "geocities.com" website is still ranked among the top ones. It is ranked 15th list. Something I really did not expect before.

Hope I do meet my expectation and continue the rank.

Google Launches Google Reader at Web 2.0

Google Launches Google Reader at Web 2.0: "Darren writes 'Google Reader, an online RSS reader, is currently being demo'd at the Web 2.0 conference. It apparently 'makes it easier to keep up with your ever-expanding reading list of content from across the web.' Here's the tour about how it works.'"

Edited Later:
I posted this into my personal group. Instantly I got a reply from Nishit..."Even bloglines gives this functionality".

I had a look at Bloglines and got addicted to it. It's similar to my favourite Sage extension of Mozilla.

I feel that Google and Microsoft should come out with something like that which is more intutive. And also not to forget Bloglines capacity to store old news.

Google has a nice engine in Google News. I really like that, but it does not make sense in a lot of area as it does not provide additional functionality like Bloglines.

I'll prefer going through one page for my news instead of looking at five different sites!

The way the web is moving.....

Few days back Yahoo! acquired a small firm OddPost. The firm had an email service with interface just like Outlook Express. And yes it was better than Yahoo! ( PC Magazine Reviews).

Well this brings about a new twist in how web applications are desinged!

More and more sites are adding up interactivity to their webpages. The new Yahoo! look, where you can just change the theme how yahoo looks just by a click.
Even GMail uses a whole lot of Javascript code for its web interface.

The future should now see more and more code written to make things dynamic. With Mozilla (Firefox) eating up the IE share it is more obvious that Javascript will be more in use than other contempararies like vbscript (This should be the case especially for public domain pages).
