I have been facing the problem of which online bookmarking service to use for quite some time now. This is due to the fact that I have the StumbleUpon and Google toolbars installed on Firefox, and also have accounts on deli.cio.us, blinklist and digg (and possibly some others which I can't remember right now :-). Too diversified for my own good you say. Well my thoughts exactly. So, if you have any suggestions or comments be my guest.

A Great view about "Collective Unconscious" in the new media world

Today, email holds critical importance for every business to stay a step ahead of competitors. It would not be wrong to say that a proper email management is a backbone of most companies' daily activities. This underlines a need a growing need to secure emails against computer viruses, software failures, power failures, hard drive failures, or human errors. These threats can destroy the data including documents, pictures, emails and other files.

Interesting post at SlashDot about new corporate agreements that restrict what employees can say about the company on the social web.

We have a new Twitter vector here on JungleJar thanks to Maurizio Russo, who we interviewed here at JungleJar around a month ago. Mau says his inspiration for this Twitter Bird vector came via the musical artist Moby. We also have a video of the creation of Mau's Twitter Bird from sketch concept to vector visualization.

Metal Edge Magazine has called brokeNCYDE "fucking horrendous."[1] British commentator Warren Ellis calls brokeNCYDE's "Freaxxx" music video "a near-perfect snapshot of everything that's shit about this point in the culture."[2] Says August Brown of the Los Angeles Times, "The 'Albucrazy'-based band has done for MySpace emo what some think Soulja Boy did for hip-hop: turn their career into a kind of macro-performance art that exists so far beyond the tropes of irony and sincerity that to ask 'are they kidding?' is like trying to peel an onion to get to a perceived central core that, in the end, does not exist and renders all attempts to reassemble the pieces futile."

Many big corporations are already in the social media bandwagon and we can't say different for small business and entrepreneurs as well. Hmm… but with limited resources, how should entrepreneurs engage in this time consuming but very much needed marketing strategy?

A head to head comparison between meme and Twitter but as usual, you have the final say to what you think and prefer. What's important is that you share it with the rest of us!

Bringing this down to the bottom line, yet another blogger shares his experience, of watching people bounce away without doing much of anything on his site. How much is traffic like that to a site, and how much will somebody be willing to pay to keep getting more of it? As the author says, "The problem is that when I stumble I am in the mood for some fast action. I don't want to be bothered with heavy reading and just want to be amused." a spirit that, as somebody in one of the sites bookmarked above argues, Stumbleupon's business model gives the company and its management a perverse short term incentive to encourage. But can one encourage impatience and then, moments later, hope that impatience will suddenly vanish the moment a visitor reaches a sponsor's site? Or does behavior, once reinforced, tend to linger? Does the company really expect those sponsors to not notice that their bottom line isn't being helped, just because they hope it will, and assume that it must?

Have you become addicted to telling the world what you're up to in 140 characters or less? If so, say three cheers for wordpress. Wordpress recently launched a cool new feature that all bloggers will love to use : a Twitter widget for your wordpress sidebar.

In response to nearly two days of angry online commentary, particularly on Twitter, Amazon.com said on Monday that "an embarrassing and ham-fisted cataloging error" had caused thousands of books on its site to lose their sales rankings and become harder to find in searches.

Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis, the founders of Skype sold it to eBay in 2005 for $2.6 billion. The founders now, have approached several private equity firms and are pooling their own substantial resources to make a bid for the Internet calling service, say several people with knowledge of their plans.

GNU Radio is an open source Software Defined Radio (SDR) project that was started about ten years ago by Eric Blossom, an electrical engineer. The main idea which is behind this project, as its founder says, was to turn all the hardware problems into software problems, that is move the complexity of a radio equipment from the hardware level to the software one, and get the software as close to the antenna as possible.

Altium says that the old way of approaching electronics design needs to change for good.

I should say it's finally good news for all Hotmail user, Yes really atlast Microsoft enables Web based IM for Hotmail users. The question arises on everyones mind is why Microsoft delays enabling web based IM ? This feature has been enabled years after Google and Yahoo.

" From time to time I need to debug OAuth-protected APIs, checking response headers and examining XML and JSON payloads. curl generally rocks for this sort of thing, but when the APIs in question are protected with OAuth, things break down. Likewise for benchmarking (ab, httperf, etc.) and exploration-isn't it nice to browse APIs that return XML in Firefox? This needn't to be the case. Enter oauth-proxy This is why I wrote oauth-proxy. It does what it says on the tin: it acts a proxy server that transparently adds OAuth headers to requests."
