Twitter Launches Geolocation Feature, Monday, August 31, 2009
   
 

The micro blogging site Twitter plans to launch a new feature to provide information about the geographic location from where a Tweet actually originates. Currently platform developers have been making some progress in this regard, with the assistance of the very basic APIs available to them. At present ,geolocation based projects are made with the use of the location details filled in by members on their profiles. However, this is not a very dependable and effective method to judge immediate location as users often tweet from multiple locations without changing their location each time.

Twitter will permit their members to include their latitude and longitude if they wish to do so with each tweet. The service will be firmly opt-in, with the default being set to 'off'. Tweet-level geo tagging will be treated another way than the location data entered manually by the user in their profile. Location data in the profile will persist to be utilised to give a general idea to visitors about where a member is normally based.



One major advantage of this feature is that ,you could toggle from reading the tweets of accounts you follow to reading tweets from any person either in your neighborhood or city-irrespective of whether you follow them or not.

Twitter,is thus getting better with the introduction of this fresh opt-in geolocation feature.

Bing Search Market Increases,Google And Yahoo Decline, Thursday, August 20, 2009
   
 

Microsoft 's share of the U.S. search market increased slightly in July, at the same time as Google and Yahoo faced slight declines.Among the 13.6 billion U.S. searches which was conducted in July,nearly 64.7% searches were performed through Google which is a.3 percent reduction from June,according to the conclusions drawn from Comscore.Similar to Google,Yahoo too served around 19.3% ,which also reveals a .3 percent decline from June.On the other hand , Microsoft Bing's search share improved by half of a percentage point in July.Its increase is one of the main factors for most of what Google and Yahoo have lost. Microsoft sites accounted for around 8.9% of U.S. searches last month. ComScore's search results however does'nt take account of searches associated to mapping, local directory, and user-generated video sites.

Google Caffeine-The new version of Google Search Engine, Friday, August 14, 2009
   
 

Google CaffeineThe Search engine giant Google has released the developer version of its new upgraded version,which is coded as Caffeine-an interesting name,though ! Most people would have the same opinion that a little jerk of caffeine is just what the body requires in order to kick into high gear and begin moving more rapidly in the morning. It appears that, caffeine can have the same consequence on Google Incorporations search engine. Google themselves have stated this improvement as the "next-generation architecture".

The internet giant promises that "Caffeine" will definitely improve on categories such as speed, size, accuracy as well as comprehensiveness of Google search.

When it comes to the above factors,this is what the net users look for :
Speed: How rapidly can the fresh search engine load results?
Accuracy: Which set of results matches the search term?
Temporal Relevancy: Is the version of search engine good at capturing breaking news?
Index Size: Is it really all-inclusive than the previous version of Google?

Once Microsoft launched Bing ,the whole world was wondering how good this will be and if it can contend against Googles search technology. Bing proved that it is a very good search engine, and after that everybody was wondering what will Google do in order to overpower Microsoft's
new search engine.Probably caffeine is the answer for the doubt raised in people's minds.



Tests so far have revealed that the latest version of Google is twice faster than the the previous Google and it also displays higher search results (depending on queries).At the moment it looks like Caffeine is superior than the old Google, but we need to wait for it to be released.

The development version is available at www2.sandbox.google.com

Windows 7 to be released on October 22nd inspite of the "show stopper bug", Saturday, August 08, 2009
   
 

Windows 7,the latest OS from Microsoft,is set to release on October 22nd.Microsoft managed to sign off the Windows 7 RTM (release to manufacture) build on June 23.A week later ,the RTM build was stamped as a "show stopper" bug and it was expected that this bug will be a hindrance for the release on October 22nd.The bug became a major issue on the web until recently.

The bug that was reported was this..Once a user runs "CHKDSK/r" in command prompt,it will crash the entire system.This was because running this command resulted in a memory leakage,which led to the system crash.

Following the widespread issue this "show stopper" bug created in Windows 7, the president of Microsoft's Windows Division, Steven Sinofsky recently mentioned in a statement that the bug though initially reported as a "critical bug" and then a 'showstopper' bug, would not delay the release of Window 7 on the decisive date.

Microsoft have held a chip-set controller responsible for the error and have suggested Windows 7 customers to call/visit their motherboard manufacturers and download the most modern chipset drivers for their particular motherboard.
