Amazon's social networking site !!!!!

Amazon.com Inc the world's largest Web retailer, has launched Askville.com, an information-sharing Web site where users can ask questions and answer queries of others.

This site which has been in beta testing since December 2006 was open only to limited amazon users. One must have an amazon account ( Except for USA and Canada) to log in to Askville.com

Amazon says --> Askville is the place where you can ask... answer... meet... play!


Askville.com is basically a social networking site where the opinions of different people can be shared, suggestions can be given to a few questions.

How far can this web-site reach out to public when it is limited only to amazon users..

Let Time decide its fate !!!!!!!! :-)

Even Google Adsense being hacked??

Do you know Google Adsense is being holed by an indian ??

Cant beleive it right !!!!!

Oh k let me give you more info --

Manish arora an indian security analyst created an Adsense account for his blog then by writing a small piece of code linking any other websites. Once he is done with this, he sent his friends and relatives and a few unknown people a email regarding some of the links regarding You Tube, other good blogs or any other website.

Then his friends and relatives those who received that email went through different sites and clicked on different ads. Let’s assume you send 2000 emails with good looking 100 links in one email. That person goes to any of the website, clicks ads… HIS ACCOUNT WAS CREDITTED WITH THE $$$.

In the Digit Magazine they had shown that in one month person had earned some good $5000 just by sending emails and doing the job (that was way back in December). This thing has been experimented again in September and same happened. This time however the people who had tried this were different however they used the same technique of Manish Arora.

Well what can we say !!!!!!!!!

Is Google ahead of Microsoft ?????

Last week Microsoft's CEO -> Steve Ballmer denied that Google is taking over Microsoft in Internet Technologies and accepted that Google is ahead of Microsoft only with respect to its
search engine..

But Google has 4 strong reasons to support that it is ahead of Microsoft's technologies over the internet --

1) Search engine : People all over use Google's search engine rather than Microsoft's MSN search .

2) Mail : As Gmail has an embedded Messenger (chat) in its webpage it has gained more prefrence over Hotmail and MSN Messenger which are 2 separate entities .

3) Blog : Google owns Blogspot which is currently hosting more than a billion blogs and still counting but when it comes to Blogs from Microsoft , it still needs to make a mark .

4) Social Networking : Google has taken over Orkut which is the best of all social networking sites as it has made a mark all over the world , on the other hand Microsoft still needs to work on its social networking as it just has a share in FaceBook . Though it shows Google a bit ahead of Microsoft , we really cant say what Microsoft can do , an Year for Microsoft can turn these things around .. So it pretty tough to Predict now which company is ahead what say :) ??
