They are planning to provide a free analytics dashboard to it's users that will help users to understand how others are interacting with their tweets.<br />
<br />
The analytics tool is being worked upon by the team which was behind Trendly (acquired by Twitter in June).<br />
<br />
Even though this is believed to be a free tool, but there may be a much more advanced version of this tool which will be for business purposes and that won't be free of cost.<br />
<br />
The bad news is that there are many other companies that are working or have the same kind of analytics tool for Twitter, but they are not free. So these companies will have to work hard to compete with Twitter's analytics tool on Twitter's own turf. Isn't it interesting?<br />

Then here is a small solution for you.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTThKkUNv2CtraD4yJLJlk35_RzjTpIjSmQTkjDkySemM_UB1zw39uJduexTb5cG_iBcd63pVvPV17W54aVwJJ8sAXCsCM9o6a82Q0-RaB51GTwqbTLgKSVylB_4MHXQV13igaro0PFXE/s1600/KYBX-400-DT-BL-TB_front2_medium.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTThKkUNv2CtraD4yJLJlk35_RzjTpIjSmQTkjDkySemM_UB1zw39uJduexTb5cG_iBcd63pVvPV17W54aVwJJ8sAXCsCM9o6a82Q0-RaB51GTwqbTLgKSVylB_4MHXQV13igaro0PFXE/s200/KYBX-400-DT-BL-TB_front2_medium.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The Stealth KYBX-400-DT-BL-TB-USB Keyboard (that's quite a name to remember) is sealed to the NEMA 4, 4X, IP65 specifications (these are two different test grading systems, that's all I can say). But it's rugged enough for military use, so it will easily do the job against pets and small children. It is housed in a rugged vandal resistant stainless steel enclosure, has an optical trackball and features adjustable backlighting.<br />
<br />
But this comes at a price - $695. So some strict discipline and patience with your child can be a whole lot cheaper alternative.<br />

There's something for everybody with devices ranging from small personal media player like devices with 2.8 or 3.2 inch touchscreeens and then going up to the7 inch and 10.1 inch touchscreen high end tablets. These will ship with the latest Android 2.2 "Froyo" version.<br />
<br />
Only some of these devices will have the more touch-friendly capacitive screen and a front facing camera. They lack the all important applications, but make up in media playback capabilities.<br />

I know I am guilty of missing some days to drop back, but I try to drop on all the blogs with a custom widget. I have already mentioned that I will not drop on blogs with the <a href="http://gadfreaks.blogspot.com/2010/07/note-for-ec-users.html">default Entrecard widget</a>. Further, I will also not accept ads with the default widget. And it's not only me, I guess all the experienced EC users are doing the same thing. Am I wrong?<br />
Anyway, here's some link-love to my regular droppers. I must admit that Sheila is doing a great job with all her blogs. It's for the third time in a row that she's getting the top spot again.<br />
<br />

<br />
Now the problem is that because of a hard disk change, I have lost all the data about this theme, so I will need some time to find out how to change the 125x125 banners. Even though Sheila's Slightly Sarcastic should have got that spot, but I have decided to keep her other blog, The Ad Master for another month.<br />
<br />
Again, a big thank you to all. Have a nice time.<br />

Or a calculator? Or is it a superman? Hmmm....I think this is a superman among the computer pointing devices.<br />

<br />
Canon's X Mark I mouse is the first mouse to wear the legendary X series calculator's brand. With 1200-dots-per-inch wireless laser mouse underneath, the X mark I does double duty as a fully functional calculator and a numeric keypad. It's a Bluetooth 2.0 enabled device, and works well with OS X and Windows. If there was a mouse built to the exact opposite spec as Apple devices, this is it.<br />
<br />
And yes, all those numeric buttons can be locked when not in use to prevent accidental stream of number from flooding your documents.<br />

<br />
Recently, some pictures of Nokia's forthcoming phone, N9, got leaked. The pictures tell that it will have an attractive aluminium clad design with black keys, something similar to the Macbooks. And now we even have some specifications available. Take a look at them -<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>OS : most probably MeeGo.</li>
<li>Screen : 4 inch capacitive super AMOLED</li>
<li>Processor : 1 GHz Snapdragon processor with 512 MB of RAM</li>
<li>Storage : 64 GB internal</li>
<li>Camera : 8 MP with dual LED flash, capable of HD video recording 720p</li>
<li>Connectivity : Almost everything.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Well, these are leaked ones, and accuracy is not guaranteed. But I hope these give a basic idea about what we can expect.<br />

<br />
So what exactly can a customer expect from the OlivePad. Let's have a look at the features -<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>To start with, it has a 7 inch capacitive touchscreen. </li>
<li>It runs on the Android OS. </li>
<li>It is 3G enabled along with WiFi (but we don't have 3G facility in India yet. Come on, give me a break...when are we going to have 3G for the private carriers????)</li>
<li>It has dual cameras, a 3 MP at he back and a front camera for video calling.</li>
<li>GPS, e-book reader and web browsing with Flash support are some of the other features. </li>
</ul>
<div>
It's price is about Rs. 25000 INR (which corresponds to about $500 approx). And there are talks that it will be launched in Europe in the near future. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span><div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Firefox 4 Beta 2</span></b></span></span><div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">I guess you have already heard about Mozilla's release of the latest browser. After the buggy and highly unstable Beta 1 version, now they have Firefox 4 Beta 2. The most important change to this version is the inclusion of "App Tabs". This allows the user to change regular tabs into compact tabs which prevent accidental deletion of these tabs. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Further, it organizes websites in stacked layers with cached content for further web browsing. But still, the Beta 2 is unstable in performance, thanks to the "beta" tag added to it.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">WordPess 3.0.1</span></b></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Now here's something for bloggers, I mean, those who do not use Blogger or Jhoomla or TypePad. After about 11 million downloads of the WordPress 3.0 in just 42 days, we finally have the next update version, WordPress 3.0.1 . It claims to fix 53 bugs o the previous version. Well, I haven't updated yet...I am waiting for feedbacks from other users. But I guess this will be a smooth update because it's just a minor one. have you updated? Please leave your feedbacks.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Digg v4</span></b></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">The new Digg has been there for quite some time now in the beta stage. Only a very few people were allowed to access the new version (and I was one of them). The interface looked excellent, and in short, it is much more social (don't forget that Digg is a social bookmarking site). But since it is in beta, the New Digg doesn't have the Digg Bar yet, and links do not open in a new tab. So digging is a bit frustrating at the moment. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Anyway, the good news is that they are allowing the present members to sent invites to their friends ( at the most 5 invites). So if you want to be a part of the New Digg, you can ask for an invite here. If you do, then also provide a link to your old Digg's profile because I will review your activity on Digg first before sending the invite. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Till then, update and stay safe from hackers.</span></span></div>
<div>

But recently, according to <a href="http://www.indianexpress.com/news/The--35--laptop--is-finally-here/650540" target="_blank">Indian Express</a>, Human Resource Department minister of India, Mr. Kapil Sibal revealed a tablet-like device (seems to be a 7 incher) which is in the developmental stage at the moment.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU5m8ju2cQO-nQidG160x7Be08f7VDaY5iz1QspCXFwk7SSp97Lz3nVdi4Go_VP25DiXPXnOx3nOlzgEWsaQI_uzUxwZXba-yTQrY6fRljFPrxgRkatbhIK4EqbPjnOMReWv73RegAbCA/s1600/Kapil_Sibal1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU5m8ju2cQO-nQidG160x7Be08f7VDaY5iz1QspCXFwk7SSp97Lz3nVdi4Go_VP25DiXPXnOx3nOlzgEWsaQI_uzUxwZXba-yTQrY6fRljFPrxgRkatbhIK4EqbPjnOMReWv73RegAbCA/s320/Kapil_Sibal1.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">More About the Device</span></b><br />
It will be a Linux-based, open source device with a touchscreen of 5/7/9 inches. It will have th basic features like office software, web browser, multimedia capabilities, PDF Reader and also video conferencing.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>The Best Part Of The Story</b></span><br />
Here comes the best thing about this device. The title of this post says that it is the cheapest tablet. And indeed it is (err...will be). It is estimated that in the beginning, it will cost around $35. It is believed that the price will drop further, ultimately to $10.<br />
So, how will people accept this "Poor Man's Tablet" ?Will every citizen own a touchscreen device? We will have to wait and see.<br />

My last post was a bit strict one, but this one is about a request. I need some help this time, specially from the Entrecard community. To make things more clear, I have entered a blog contest with huge prizes at stake. Have a look at the prizes <a href="http://www.melvinblog.com/2010/05/melvinblogs-blog-marketing-tip-contest/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
But I am a bit late in entering the contest as the last date is July 25. So my contest entry has got only 2 more days to gain popularity. That's why I need some help. So if you can, please visit my contest entry "<a href="http://technblogging.com/6-dos-blog-marketing-twitter-fail/" target="_blank">6 Do's For Blog Marketing With Twitter Fail</a>" and all you have to do is <b>retweet</b> the post (my contest entry). There's already a Tweetmeme button provided. And it will be great if you can leave a comment.<br />
<br />
Another thing to note : The score for popularity of the entry is only 30%. The rest 70% depends on the quality of the article. But still, 30% can make a huge difference.<br />
I hope to get some help from the EC community. Have a great day.<br />

<br />
Till date I haven't rejected a single ad request on this blog (even though I have rejected some on my other blog). But then, with so many cards using the default EC widget, it forced me to re-think my strategy of accepting all ads.<br />
<br />
So from this today, I am going to reject all ad requests which use the default EC widget. I am also going to reject ads with indecent pictures.<br />
<br />
Further, about dropping ECs, I will also try to drop less on the blogs which use the default EC widget.<br />
Now the question is, why are you using the default thing? If tou are really serious about using the Entrecard system, why don't you upload a meaningful picture? That will also help to brand your blog. Now it's upto you. If you are reading this and using a default widget, THINK AGAIN.<br />
<br />
That's all.<br />
<br />

Unfortunately, the antenna issue has not been fixed yet by the software update.<br />
<br />
But that's not the end. Apple has called for a special press conference on July 16, that is, today. The conference will be regarding the iPhone (may be the antenna issue and the software updates). So we will have to wait for the outcome of the conference.<br />

2) iPod Touch Shuffle<br />
3) iWatch<br />
4) Any other product ????<br />

Well, we will have to wait, but I don't know for how long.<br />

You are twitting about thee latest news, gossips, rumors, your daily activities and so on. You are following 1000+ people (even some celebrities) and you have got 1000+ followers in return. But how much impact are you making on your followers? How much are you influencing them? Are you generous enough to help out others?<br />
<br />
If you want to know the answers to the questions mentioned above, here's a tool for you. Twitalyzer is a free tool which will analyse your Twitter profile and answer to the questions mentioned above along with many other information. All you need to provide is your username and password (yes, I was worried about this a bit, but after reading some reviews I went forward... they can be trusted). Check the screenshot for some of the information that it will provide.<br />

Because of my absence and some other reasons, I couldn't make the list of all the top droppers. So let's look at the list provided by Entrecard -<br />

<br />
Special mention goes to EihdraG of <a href="http://www.work-and-earn-online.com/">Make Money Online</a> for being the top commenter.<br />
<br />
So all these consistent droppers are the top droppers for June.Thanks and congrats to my top droppers and also to everyone who visit my blog. By the way, just a reminder. Because of my new blog, this blog will get less updates. I have already included Tech N Blogging in Entrecard.<br />
And a Happy 4th of July to all my readers from America.Souravhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02003779513358752867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4832901779453703132.post-75179784812458638812010-06-27T18:04:00.000-07:002010-06-27T18:04:14.814-07:00What Will I Do With $100This is my official entry to <a href="http://livinglifetodfullest.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-thanksgiving-contest-will-start.html" target="_blank">Noel and Levy's Thanksgiving Contest</a>.<br />
<br />
Hmm...a tough question indeed. $100 can be used for many things, including some good deeds like donation and charity. Well, even though donations and charity will give me some good karma, but being honest as a college student, I will think numerous times before making any donations. So I strike out that option, and will use the $100 for my use (to be more precise, for my blog's).<br />
<br />
But how?<br />
<br />
We the bloggers always think about the amount we have to pay for hosting and domain names, specially is the blog is new and not giving even a cent back into my pocket. Things get more complex if we want to brand out blog, like getting a new theme (of course paid theme, for example Thesis or Ultimate Blogging Theme). and also for advertising.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWHhS6AxfXDGLpiMmlxtcvfzt8_f2yVDpsKydij6avZJfLv-PGmwEKxP84CAy_9SBnSSaY-nRtYY5g6yT2o9YyONsKVSDfeioEJvjEBPTkS4-o8vkB6tCVrH2UIAcZeA-YzdmXg3zUHUA/s1600/thinking+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWHhS6AxfXDGLpiMmlxtcvfzt8_f2yVDpsKydij6avZJfLv-PGmwEKxP84CAy_9SBnSSaY-nRtYY5g6yT2o9YyONsKVSDfeioEJvjEBPTkS4-o8vkB6tCVrH2UIAcZeA-YzdmXg3zUHUA/s200/thinking+copy.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Even though I have not decided what exactly I will do with the $100 (if I get), but I have got some ideas in my head. I will definitely keep a good amount out of that $100 to hold a contest in order to promote my new blog. But obviously it won't be possible without sponsors. I will also keep some amount either to pay the next hosting fee or save that amount for a new theme (either - or). So now just a little remains out of that $100 which I will use to advertise my new blog on Adgitize.<br />
<br />
So you can see, the whole amount goes to blogging.<br />
<br />
<b>The following part is not within the context of the contest.</b><br />
All the blah...blah... above can come true if I win (which I don't think I will). But I will be really happy if either <a href="http://www.bellagrace.info/my-surgery-fund/" target="_blank">Mommy Rubz</a> or <a href="http://www.work-and-earn-online.com/2010/05/my-ultimate-wish/" target="_blank">EihdraG</a> wins this contest. It's not that I know these bloggers (I do know EihdraG a bit), but there are some reasons for which I am telling this.<br />

<br />
<br />
We all know that the iPhone 4 was put on sale in the US, France, Germany, Japan and the UK since yesterday. But what's more important are the news and facts surrounding the iPhone 4 and the iOS 4.0. In this post, I am going to make excerpts of some updates that I have got from the net.<br />
<br />
To start things off, let's make a post-mortem of the hardware of the latest version of the iPhone. Check out this post by my blogging friend Shabnam Sultan - <a href="http://bit.ly/crs0m7" target="_blank">iPhone 4 : Inside Detailed View Of Various Parts</a>.<br />
<br />
Okay, enough of dissecting that costly device. Let's view it as a whole. Here's a first impression about the iPhone 4, hands on (by Geeky Gadgets) : <a href="http://goo.gl/fb/s9how" target="_blank">iPhone 4 hands On - First Impressions</a>.<br />
<br />
New products are always accompanied by bugs and errors, and so was the iPhone 4. Here's a report about some yellow bands appearing on the iPhone screen, towards the bottom. <a href="http://bit.ly/9dSQNd" target="_blank">Yellow Spot Display Issue On iPhone 4</a> by Tech Bitts.<br />
<br />
Complains, complains and more complains. If you hold the iPhone in a wrong way, the bars will decrease. This is what Apple (and Steve Jobs) had to say as a solution - <a href="http://bit.ly/dc0rlg" target="_blank">Steve Job Replies To Email About iPhone 4 Reception Issues</a> by Tech Bitts.<br />
<br />
Apple came up with a solution, but a temporary one, with an extra accessory for $29. <a href="http://bit.ly/btkvnn" target="_blank">Apple's Solution To Reception Problem In iPhone 4</a> by TechieZlounge.<br />
<br />
I will keep on updating this post with further updates.<br />

1st Prize - $100<br />

I had no internet connection for one whole week. Then I got back the connection two days ago, but it was only for a few hours. Then again I was cut off from the www. The connection is back now, but it's very unstable, can't even make a proper post, and I am not sure for how long I will remain connected. I am trying to contact my service provider to get this problem fixed, but unfortunately, their service is horrible. Sorry for my absence. </span></span><br />

At last I have done it. All these days my hands were tied because of Blogger's limited resources and inflexibility and most importantly, the (dot)blogspot domain name.<br />
<br />
But now I have got my own domain name and a self hosted Wordpress blog. You can check it out <a href="http://technblogging.com/" target="_blank">here</a>(opens in a new tab), even though you won't find anything except a single welcome post. Since this is the first time that I am using WP, so it will take some time. By the way, Tech N Blogging is going to be my main blog in a month's time while this will be my secondary blog.<br />
<br />
I have already installed some plugins like All in one SEO, Akismet and CommentLuv. It will be great if you can suggest some other plugins. Also, if you have some other suggestions, please feel free to do so. Anyway, that's all for now.<br />
