Hi, I’ve been noticing user’s social habits on two different big platforms for quite some time and interestingly I found many differences. Although both platforms brought a revolution in user’s social life but users act not only differently but I would say “oppositely” on both platform. Read the rest of this entry »

Implementation of Web 2.0 concepts
Posted by amirk25 on November 2nd, 2008 | No Comments »
Hello, This post is dedicated to my project named PakNewz.com. The idea behind PakNewz.com is to make a web 2.0 oriented news website especially for Pakistan. I’ve implemented few of the concepts of web 2.0 in PakNewz.com so far. However, things are still in process, and I hope that soon I will be able to make a good example of web 2.0 oriented news website.
Few of the striking features for users and components of web 2.0 are as follows :
Social Bookmarking, RSS feeds – RSS 2.0, Atom, XHTML,CSS, Videocasting – Podcasting, Simplicity, Folksonomy, Recommendation, AJAX, Design, Widgets, Sharing and last but not least Pay per click. There are so many things which are going to be implemented soon. But because of lack of time I’m not be able to tell you about them.
Some of the mentioned above terms are technical, but I hope overall every one can understand the general concept. In my opinion, simplicity is the one of the most important factor in today’s internet(Web 2.0). Simplicity can be in term of navigation, layout, design and back end operations. So that every one can perform his/her job in easy way. No matter, he’s a novice level user. Or, a computer nerd.
Okay, what I’m expecting from you guys is your valuable feedback and recommendation to others. Feedback always plays vital role in the development of any project. Also, the more you recommend others about this website, the more people come in and the more feedback I receive. Consequently, I’ll be able to make a fully oriented web 2.0 but very simple news website for users.
And you can help me in completing this project. This is kind of open source project for my friends and people, who really want to take part in developing this website.
The only condition for working this website is “Serious attitude towards the job”. Ok, for now this was all about from my side.
Take care
Allah hafiz
Bye.

It’s all about cuil.com
Posted by amirk25 on August 7th, 2008 | No Comments »
Have you heard about cuil.com ???? I’m sure most of you guys knows about it. If you’ve have not heard about it, don’t worry coz in few moment I’m going to tell you about this
. Well cuil.com is new search engine, launched on 28th of july, 2008. I’m sure you people are thinking why I’m discussing it?Well there are some reasons behind it. let me tell you few of them.
cuil.com claims that they have indexed far more bigger data base than Google or any other search engine containing more than 120 billion pages. Company also claims that cuil doesn’t save search term of users unlike Google. cuil’s search result contains long descriptions along with relevant pictures. With the small team of 30 people and initial venture capital of around 32 million dollar cuil.com is ready to jump into competition.
cuil.com has been widely criticized regarding it’s claim of having largest search engine index. Critics say that most of search term are irrelevant or wrong. Company replied that it’s just start there are lot of bugs to be fixed and lot of things to be improved. I personally experienced irrelevancy of results in term of description and picture but yes it’s just start. I hope things will be improved with the passage of time. I personally believe that there should be healthy competition in online search market rather than monopoly of one or two search giants.
wish you good luck cuil

Exam Fear – My Inner Monster
Posted by amirk25 on July 12th, 2008 | No Comments »
Today I’m gonna reveal one of my secret. I don’t know whether I should call it disease or not but what I feel is that this is psychological disease. I’m scared of exam. I’ve been exceptional student through out my educational career. I work hard love to read n write
. I love to give presentations, completing difficult tasks etc etc but when it comes to exam I really get upset. I’ve great great fear of exam no matter what kinda exam those are. I can prepare well but I can’t perform well in exam. I don’t have enough courage to give even a small quiz.
This fear created in my mind for the very first time when I was in 10th class n preparing for final exam. my life was really vicissitudes @ that time(still it is ). One of the aftermath of those critical days is my “exam fear”. I prepared very well for exam n my parents were expecting extra ordinary result from me. I was extremely fret and under self created pressure I didn’t pay attention towards my health etc eventually during exam I fainted.
History repeated itself in first year exam. I prepared a lot and when “prove your self day” arrived I gave up
. That day I was feeling like I should die today rather than giving exam. Any how I passed it. During BCS I tried to over come this problem by myself n I was succeeded upto some extent. one of the reason was that in semester system one has to face exam after every two months so exam became usual routine for me. During BCS fear didn’t over completely but the level of severeness decreased. Thanks God I still did very good job in my educational career.
Once again I had to face it last month when I was preparing for a critical exam during my annual leaves. it remembered me of those “pathetic days”. I never think of curing it through treatment but now I finally decided that I will take help of any psychiatrist to get rid of this disease.
Let me share with you people that what kinda grievous experiences I do during this condition. Well my heart beat gets very fast. some time I feel that my heart will sink or fell into some deep hole. my neck muscles gets pulled. Every time it happens that I know almost every answer but I always starts with question I really don’t know.I feel like my soul is going to leave my body. I hate cramming I never did cramming even before college life.But as you know here in our system up to second year cramming is “must”, other wise one can’t get good grades but I always did conceptual study. Conceptual study helps me in exams but some times I forget even very very simple things. During exam days I feel like it’s better to be an animal than a student having exam. I always criticize method of exam to judge student’s ability, reason isn’t that I did research on it and found an alternate solution but the reason is that I’ve inner fear of exam.
But there is one positive thing in my self n i.e when ever I decide to over come any problem I did it. My self motivation n self-assertiveness always help me in fighting with these kinda inner factors. Just because of this “inner immune system” I over come so many problems. I believe no one can cure you from any disease or any problem until or unless you’re not willing to do it by yourself coz no one knows you better than your own self. Have you ever faced this kinda problem or do you have any problem or fear like this ? do share with me..
Take Care

Online Privacy – A severe Issue
Posted by amirk25 on July 10th, 2008 | No Comments »
Once I mentioned in my blog that concept like web 2.0 has changed everything in the world of internet. Now there are so many ways to have and share information but this online revolution creates few problem too. One of the biggest problem I think is “privacy”. Privacy is something that’s every person’s basic right. one of the reason of the facebook popularity is it’s privacy control feature.
Recently software leviathan Microsoft and online search giant Google asked Congress to pass basic legislation about online privacy. They gave three core rules n believe me those rules are based on real facts.Those rules are as follows
Consumers should be clearly notified what information is being collected about them
people should control how that information is used
Consumer data should be secured to ensure it does not fall into the wrong hands
I think If congress pass legislation based on these rules It would help a lot in protecting user’s online privacy.
Novice level users don’t know much about privacy issues even advance level users do grievous mistakes while use internet. I think govt. should run campaign for awareness of this issue. I hope things will go on the right side as Governing bodies started taking this issue seriously.

Two Newses
Posted by amirk25 on June 21st, 2008 | No Comments »
salam, I’m on annual leave for last 20 days n I still have 10 more leaves. I did nothing
. Before availing annual leaves I had plan that I will not do anything in my annual leaves n I executed my plan
.I’ve two newses. Have you heard about Mozilla Firefox. Well it’s web browser. Mozilla Firefox is one of the most popular browser around the world.well the news is Firefox 3.0 made a record of around 12.0 million downloads within 24 hours. VP-Marketing of Mozilla Firefox says that I don’t know whether some one made this kinda record or not before but we did it for the very first time. Mozilla really became a real threat for Internet Explorer. Until now Mozilla is being used by around 18 % of Internet users.
Mozilla Firefox is quite fast from other browsers in term of browsing. As long as my thinking goes, Tabbed browsing was introduced by Mozilla. Although Microsoft has added this feature in IE 7.0 but Mozilla Firefox took the credit of tabbed browsing, Mozilla is quite flexible in term of themes, add-ons and plugins. One of the striking feature of Firefox is security. Firefox’s security algorithm is far more better than IE. It’s also using industry standards like SSL/TL( Secured socket layer) for communication. Internet Explorer is really vulnerable browser if you don’t install security patches or update it from Microsoft’s website. I’m not marketer of Firefox but the thing is one should appreciate and shares his or her opinions if he or she satisfies from any product.
second news I want to share is that I’ve launched new website named paknewz.com. Idea behind launching this website is to provide a platform where one can access all major news medias @ one place. I tried my best to implement this idea. I’ve not much to say about website. I need you people feed backs regarding website. Visit website and if you have any suggestions or opinions do write me .
Take care

Internet The Great Revolution
Posted by amirk25 on May 30th, 2008 | No Comments »
hey AOA, guys how you doing ? hope you people are ok
.I’ve been busy for almost last 2 weeks but I won’t tell what I was doing
lol.The only reason not to tell you that I don’t want to divert my attention as well as yours. In childhood one of my favorite hobby was reading. It doesn’t mean that I’m like philosopher since childhood
but believe me I read a lot in my childhood. One of my favorite magazine was akhbar-e-jahan especially children page n science corner or something like that. I read lot of posts there but two of posts I never forgot one of post was regarding cloning n other one was regarding Internet. When I was in seventh class one day I was reading akhbar-e-jahan as usual I opened my favorite page n i.e. science corner.That day topic was internet as I was quite young so I couldn’t understand fully what exactly written over there. Author wrote something like Internet is place which use for communication among US Army personals etc. They have their own world they keep their selves connected with each other through this device etc etc. I read that post twice or thrice time.It was quite interesting to me but I couldn’t get what exactly the internet is ? Author wrote that internet is being commercialized, now civilians are also taking part in it. It has been predicted that soon it will be in the access of every one. He posted picture in his post.In that picture An American soldier was using internet on his laptop. Even after watching picture I couldn’t understand still the idea of internet in my mind was vague.After reading post I discussed with my friends just to get the idea but no one had the idea of internet. Author was quite right I remembered he emphasized in his post that we should take part in it because soon it will be become most popular platform on earth. Now you can see Internet is really great revolution in our lives. I remembered when we bought pc n first web site I opened on the internet was cnn.com. Things have been changed in only 10 years. Now we can’t imagine our lives without internet. Even the world of internet has changed a lot. No doubt Internet is great revolution n one of the biggest innovation of our era.Internet really made this world a global village. Just because of Internet every one got the opportunity to express, to show, to publish what ever the thoughts, ideas , skills he or she has. Now if you want to publish a book you need not to go to publisher n ask him I don’t have money please publish my book n if it sells I will pay you lol. Now you need not to go to studio n give trial for actiing if director likes you he or she will cast you in his or her movie. you can broadcast yourself on the internet n trust me viewers are not in thousands or lakhs there are millions who can see you. Now you need not to find a person who can listen you, you can write on the internet n see they are millions users who can read your posts.
Communication is so fast n reliable.Email, Instant messaging and voice over IP technologies made things easier n accissible for every one. The concept of internet communication is just like DHL’s logo i.e. “think done”. In these 10 year Internet it self has evolved a lot. Now web is not all about getting information. In the traditional internet,User come online, open website gets the information n then closes the website but now things have been changed. It’s not all about getting information now one can add values, can change the things by yourself. One can show his or her creativity, can communicate with others in so many ways and above all can share information among others. Term like web 2.0 cites great revolution in the field of internet. The technical concepts like folksonomy, microformats, wikis, remaxibility helped in integrating webs with users. Now you’ve so many ways to express yourself like blogging, vlogging, moblogging n once again viewers are not limited whole world is watching you. One can grab attention of any one. Things are getting more powerful on the internet.
Social networking is one of major area of Internet.Websites like facebook, myspace, orkut n flickr are good example of social networking.People are even running their election campaigns on the internet. Social networking gave great opportunity to users to interact with each others n develop coteries.
An other aspect of internet is eBusiness. Internet became most powerful platform for business. DotCom bubble(1997-2000) in US stock markets showed strength of this platform.This is just because of greater no. of users, flexibility and comparatively easy to access in term of budget and resources. Look @ the business volume of companies like Google, Yahoo, facebook, eBay, Microsoft n many others. Right now online advertisement market volume is around 40 billion dollars which will be double by the end of 2010.
as every thing have pros n cons same is case with internet. There are hundreds of thousands of scammers and spammers on the internet. Daily no. of people become fool through phishing n pharming which result loss of confidential information like personal passwords, credit card no.s n other value information. In my opinion one of biggest issue is privacy. People who are @ novice level don’t know much about how to control their privacy even advance user can’t control everything so keeping your privacy secret is one of the major issue over the internet. I think the biggest factor in popularity of facebook is it’s privacy policy n practical steps taken by website.
Any how I think it’s enough. you can share your views about internet n issues which are being faced by you both @ individual level and over all. I’ll be waiting for your response. Take care all of you
Allah hafiz.
