Its true folks, Blogger.com now allows you to shift all your RSS feed traffic to a Feedburner feed or to any other URL. So if you shifted your blog to WordPress, or to another domain, you can easily point to it. With google having bought Feedburner, this was always in the pipeline. WordPress always had a plugin to shift traffic to Feedburner, now Blogger.com allows it too. Just goto settings of your Blogspot blog and enter the URL as shown :

Really Simple Syndication ! , and see the HUGE spurt my formula one site got when i forwarded its earlier subscribers to the new feed. This is what i call a Feedburner Feed Count Spurt (Elusive).

Schools, Offices and Governments alike like to put curbs on your freedom. For example a search on Google china would reveal considerably censored and doctored results to suit the Chinese government. Schools ban sites so that students are less distracted and use the internet for useful things. Offices ban sites to increase productivity.
So is orkut banned at your workplace or School ? , if yes we have got the perfect solution for you. We always do articles on opera Mini, thats because Opera Mini was the very first cool software me and my brother installed on our mobile phones. So how can Opera Mini help you access blocked and banned sites ?

It works like any other proxy, for people who dont know, proxies are web servers who fetch the page for you. For example, you cant go to the market, you tell your maid to get the stuff and give it to you. In the same way, when your computer is banned from accessing Orkut, you can ask another computer (a proxy) to get Orkut.com for your computer.

You may also log onto http://www.operamini.com/beta/simulator/ and browse to the site of your choice , as the simulator uses a proxy based in Norway, your sites open as though you are not sitting in your school or office, but in Norway in Europe. And here is proof that Orkut works in Opera Mini simulator even if its banned.

To our friends in UAE : We are looking for more such proxies which will allow you to access Orkut.com easily , the current thing we have discovered to access banned Orkut does not allow posting scraps till now, but be aware, we are working on finding new stuff to help you get over the BAN on Orkut placed by your governments.

Orkutproxy.in also looks good, but always think twice before using your username and password on proxies !!!

As anger mounted on the Iphones activation fiasco, Apple should see what the people are facing

When you search for “My Iphone got activated” , Google corrects you , it tells you to search for “my Iphone not activated”

Google seems to be in revamp mode, take a sneak peak at the new adsense homepage which comes up randomly sometimes.

Well people have been coming here searching for what all and what not. We analyse some search terms

1. Airtel Live 403 Error – Seems like the access denied or the forbidden error , to the person who searched this : You are receiving this as airtel has limited its net access to only the airtel live portal and some selected partner sites (like indiatimes wap , rediff wap and one or two more) . Many people claim to have a solution for using free internet off of airtel’s gprs service. We do NOT reccomend this as Airtel might find out and charge you and that wont be nice believe me.

2. Orkut Addiction – Absolutely the thing you should search for while coming here. Orkut addiction has reached new levels , people spend their free time reading and writing scraps on this so called social networking site. Good thing , India doesnt know about myspace yet or else thise generation will be literally going to the dogs.

3. Index Ignore command - Read the htaccess tutorial i had posted for more on this. This command can be used to refuse the directory index of your site’s folders.
4. Picasa Web Order Prints – We have absolutely no idea on this having never tried this , but we never reccomend web ordering , just goto your nearest market and order. Believe me face to face ordering is much better than online ordering which can sometimes go horribly wrong although it might be cheaper and convinient.

Lets make this search engine strings analysis a weekly feature !!!
