Twitter me this, Twitter me that. The Twitter craze has effectively spawned its own universe of dedicated following and a gang of tech savvy fans. Twitter’s exponential growth has driven it to become the most popular Web 2.0 kid on the Internet block. As long as you have a Twitter account, you can Twitter at home, abroad, on your mobile, in your bath.
If you are still wondering what the Twitter craze is all about, here’s a video explanation of Twitter in plain English, not in geek speak. [via Beyond The Rhetoric]
The video described Twitter as “what happens between blog posts”. Personally, I think Twitter makes the Internet personal again.
Ready to embark on some twittering adventure? A word of caution before you take the plunge – observe proper “twittiquette” and don’t get listed in the Twitter Blacklist.
By now the soccer fan out there would have known that Manchester Utd won the UEFA Champions League final against Chelsea with the dreaded penalty shootout by a score of 6-5! Yes, Man Utd is the Champion of Europe !
For the benefits of those who have somehow missed the game of their lives, and also for my personal keepsake of UEFA Champions League 2007/2008 memories, I’ve shot some home-made videos of highlights of the Final and post them here. Enjoy them!
Here’s the crunch penalty shootout where heroes emerged and are immortalized and the meek crumbled in the face of pressure like a sag of potatoes. Recapture the heroics of the winners, and the cruel disappointment dealt to the losers in this game of "football Russian roulette".
If you even bothered, here’s a video highlights of the first half which ended 1-1.
The second half was really forgettable with the game ending 1-1. The extra-time should be termed extra "waste" time. There are no highlights recorded for both these time periods.
If you think a little too much of a certain kind of distraction was the bane of my blog posting frequency, wait till I laid my hands on this freaking awesome NES coffee table! Yes, it’s really playable.
Short of being the world’s largest NES controller, it is in fact very impressive on its own. I could do with one of this totally!
Technorati authority, Alexa rank and PageRank are ranking that provide a gauge to a blog’s popularity and authority level. To many bloggers, these rankings are no longer viewed as critically as before because it can either be gamed, or the ranking algorithms are askew, thus rendering them inaccurate.
A personal method I employ to gauge the popularity of a blog, and hence, the relevance of its content, is the number of RSS subscriber shown in the feed count widget. If I see a blog having 10,000 subscribers, I’m pretty sure I won’t go wrong or waste time reading it.
A good way to gain and increase your RSS feed subscriber, besides churning out killer content on a regular basis, is to run a simple contest offering prizes that are difficult to resist . This is what Money Ning is doing.
He is going to give away cash amounting to his highest RSS subscriber count by June 1st and divide the amount among 10 winners. That is to say, the more subscribers he gains, the more money will go into the cash pile! Is that tempting or what?
There are a few ways to gain more entries and increase your chances:
Become an email subscriber (10 entries)
Blog about the contest with a link to contest post (20 entries)
Stumble contest post (5 entries)
Each meaningful comment (no spam) will earn 1 entry
Starting in June, one winner will be drawn everyday for 10 days. Remember that if you want to help increase the total prize money, subscribe to Money Ning RSS Feed.
This was written by a guy… it’s pretty damn smart. Girls — Have a sense of humor!
I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.
FOR EXAMPLE:
One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed.
Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, “I don’t feel like it, I just want you to hold me.”
I said, “WHAT??!! What was that?!”
So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear…
“You’re just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man.”
She responded to my puzzled look by saying, “Can’t you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?”
Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.
The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn’t decide which one to take, so I told her we’d just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, “Lets get a pair for each outfit.”
We went on to the jewelry department where she picked out! a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you… she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn’t even know how to play tennis.
I think I threw her for a loop when I said, “That’s fine, honey.” She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, “I think this is all dear, let’s go to the cashier.”
I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, “No honey, I don’t feel like it.”
Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled,
“WHAT?”
I then said, “Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You’re just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman.”
And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added,
“Why can’t you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?”
Apparently I’m not having sex tonight either….but at least that bitch knows I’m smarter than her.
Alright girls. Repost this if you agree. Hell even if you disagree, repost it. Men, repost this because you have balls
