Dont you think if you get to know the statistics on when your readers visit your blog, it would be appropriate to have new articles posted that time, so that you get good impression that the blog has daily updates. Think about it like this, wouldn’t you want to know when to set your RSS Feed delivery option so it’ll appear in their inbox right when they go check it? Also, what if they only get time to visit your blog once a day but when they go to visit your blog, nothing has been updated. Maybe you’ll lose a possible visit for tomorrow or even longer, who knows? To analyse this I used the Trends in Google Reader to get my own data on when I read the articles from different Blogs. From the graph it shows that I read most of the articles on Wednesday. May be being the middle of the week, I get bored with the work and start reading the blog articles. From my statistics If any blog has new articles posted on wednesdays its considered to me as blog which updates regularly :) The next analy...

I started using Google mail way long when it started giving accounts only with invites. Yeah, they stopped this practice quite recently, but still, the reasons why many shifted to Gmail was for the space, but slowly Google made them stay with Gmail mainly because of simplicity, and not because they were coming out with features which are loaded like in other mail contenders. But now again, google is back to the same line. Of course, a change of color to the page looks great, but was it really a necessity? Anyway, its a labs feature and you have a choice to keep it or leave it. Google isn't too well on slow connections and we need to compromise and come back to HTML view. Now more the graphics, more the loading time, and less you get to see your mails. Yeah, this isn't applicable to people who are on cable or DSL, but, many still access Gmail from dial-up, or a congested DSL.   Official Gmail Blog: Spice up your inbox with colors and themes

As Blackberry Storm releases at Vodafone, lets check out what it has in store. Many call this an iPhone killer. May be just because it has a full touch screen, or may be because it has email, orkut, and what not... What not...just reminds me.. it doesn't have WiFi. May be to keep the phone under the $200 tag, they have not considered WiFi or may be because they want Vodafone to get a good revenue with their data plans. RIM's a little late to the touchscreen party, but comes bearing goodies. The BlackBerry Storm is a beast of a phone in more ways than one. Fronted by a meaty, high-resolution touchscreen with an innovative clicking mechanism, the phone is easily the prettiest by RIM to date. There's a brushed metal back, a beautiful new OS interface, and enough radios to give your grandkids cancer (EV-DO Rev. A, quad-bandGSM, Europe-friendly HSPA, GPS, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, no WiFi). But the real test of a phone is usability, not flash.   The official Blackberry Storm w...

A fter these directors found a technology to flawlessly make a “double”, they have been flaunting it like mad.The movie revolves around Surya, as any tamil movie would. Just not one, but two. A story of a father and son, love between the two, the caring, the fights, the ups, downs and how the life goes on. This is all is what this movie is about. The movie has three ladies, Simran, as the 80s kind of heroine, who falls in love with the 80s style Surya, in a song. Then comes Sameera Reddy, who the modern Surya meets in a train, and falls in love instantly, and then comes Divya Spandana, who falls in love with Surya. All of them have done their roles pretty well and you just can’t find fault. Surya’s daughter is played by an television artist and she has also done her role well. Surya has proved to be a classic. Action at his best, as always. The father Surya seems to have been greatly inspired by Sivakumar (Surya’s real father). The style, the way he walks, the look and feel in most o...
