Wild Apricot, Social networking site...

Wild Apricot, is an all new web based software application which helps us in managing records like contacts, membership, payments, site updates and many more.
Consider a community which has a well organized place social communication with all its members and provides tools that Engage Members. Blogs are a great way to keep members stay close. It is possible for us to indulge ourselves in conversations and share our opinions on latest issues. Also instant feedback for your work is possible while using blogs; this becomes the key factor for Apricots constant growth. It also contains various forums for its users to join in one and reach out a vast area of members.
Wild Apricot is an associations and non-profit organization. Their product focuses mainly on two things events and members. Managing members, and membership e-mailing through Wild Apricot is also possible for the organizations. Now it also accepts payment for events, so it will be taken seriously at last.
Going to the applications provided by Apricot, First is a contact database to provide all interactions with members, donors, etc. And a new website design application, with a design wizard and adding templates. It is simple to take a tour about its various features, and I don’t think $25 per month is not a big deal while considering their services provided to their users. A free Sign up is also available to check this site and its application.
That’s not all they have two different forums developed specifically for feedback purposes, they are the Roadmap and wishlist forum. The roadmap forum is to review on the prioritized items for development by the organization, while the Wishlist forum is a place to provide new suggestions, in order to add new features into the application. These suggestions are published for votes and prioritized for further development.

Monitor your network usage

It is a real tedious job to login to your account given by broadband service provider. Actually it is not necessary to do so every time when you want to check your total usage, instead use a simple network monitor tool which is available for free. Just use out great gooogle or any sites that provide freewares.

This tool can give exact stats about the amount of download and upload from your system, but the only thing missed is the router details, since there is a possibility of network usage by the router at some cases. This also helps to keep your usage under control so that there wont be a need to pay more in your monthly bill.

GSM Tracking Scams

Most of us would be interested in tracking their own or sometimes others cell phone through a site which accepts a cell number and displays the exact location of the number in a map.
The first thing we will be doing is trying out different keywords in google search like gsm mobile tracking, gprs tracking, gps tracking, gsm cell phone tracking.
These are not the only four phrases used but these are those mostly used.
There are sites that will be displayed in the first three results which will be exact phrases as shown above. If you try to believe those sites and enter a number.A stupid message meaning "We haven't developed to that level in science" will be displayed along with an blurred image of some adult scene.
The thing here is at the bottom they also give an idea to fool others by passing the link to friends and others. I don't like to link to those sites as it is worthless even for a single visit.

How Page rank works.

Ever wondered how these search engine works. Crawlers also called spiders, are the programs that most of the search engines use for web documenting. Some rely on human fed information about pages; others use a combination of both. The crawlers visit web sites to read the information in them including the content and the meta-tags, and follow the links that the site point to. This information is sent back to a database where it will be indexed. It is a continuous process working all the time, so that the indexed information is up-to-date.
During a search for the given keywords, the search engine searches its indexes to see if the keywords are present. If present, the metadata is used to determine the relevancy of each document that contains the keywords. There is difference in the result produced by different search engine; due to difference in their algorithm. For example, Google uses an algorithm called PageRank. PageRank checks how many pages links to a given page, if more pages link, then its importance will be increased. This page will more likely show up in the search results. Another thing is, the more important the page that link to this page is, the more important this page becomes, and so on.

Data Streaming

Video Streaming technology provides ultimate comfort of watching a video while it downloads. This means that there is no need to download the full movie, which is of course a great relief for low-bandwidth users. This process called streaming is done as two stages. Firstly the movie frames were created and were put on a server, which digitize and compress the frames. The compression process could also be called as encoding. Then the compressed movie is stored in a media server which acts as the base for the movie, from which the user will request movie clips for viewing.
The streaming data (either audio or video) will be relayed as and when requested or as a live relay. In case of live relay, both the media server and the compression process at the encoding server needs to be extremely fast, so that no delay in frame relay occurs.
