Damn Cisco guys don’t know how to spell Indian Cities, I bought LinkSys Router WRT610N (Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router), And while configuring I got this, They have mentioned Kolkata as Kalkutta, New Delhi as Neu Delhi and has written old names of Mumbai and Chennai as Bombay and Madras.
What is ReTweeting?
18-May-09
This is great:
“RT” or “retweeting” is simply taking a twitter post from someone else and forwarding (rebroadcasting) it to your followers. Here are a few common ways to retweet a message (all do the same thing):
RT @originalsender: original message
retweet @originalsender: original message
retweeting @originalsender: original messageRetweeting can be a great way to add followers, as it pushes your @username into foreign social graphs, which in turn results in clicks back to your profile. Make sure to track your retweets using retweetist.

Today I was chatting with my friend through facebook who recently joined it, she was telling me how Birmingham City University is offering a course on how to use Facebook and Twitter only for £4,400 first I didn’t believe her cause I know facebook fever is going high but £4,400 is too high to get that fever.
Later when I went through that news which was published on Pune Mirror I was confirmed that yes they are teaching how to use Facebook and other social media but as communicationa and marketing tools and lot more with MA degree in Social Media
“During the course we will consider what people can do on Facebook and Twitter, and how they can be used for communication and marketing purposes.”
“There has been significant interest in the course already, and it will definitely appeal to students looking to go into professions including journalism and PR” “
Meanwhile if you really want to learn how to use facebook then here I’ll provide few tips and links to learn.
I searched through the Google and I found plenty of search results which will teach you how to use it. The only problem that most people face learning facebook is that they don’t want to put their effort to learn. One of my friend keep asking “Is there a book to learn how to use facebook” and keep making excuses that
- Facebook is complicated than Orkut.
- It is not use friendly.
- They keep changing their user interface.
- there is too many confusing things games, applets and addons.
and tons of other excuses
I just said him if you really want to learn it then “Keep your eyes open and read the instructions“
Best thing I like about facebook is that it is so far perfect tool to get connected with your small world. You get to know about every move of your friends and they’ll know about yours. Interact through comments over your status or whats on your mind. If you start a group you don’t have to put any effort to make it big eg – “FIND YOUR LOOK-ALIKE IN THE WORLD !” it has on
WEDNESDAY 11 MARCH.10:40 >>> 400 MEMBERS !
now, they have TUESDAY31MARCH09:35>>>>>3000000 MEMBERS!
the beauty of the facebook is that you don’t have to yell aloud, even your wishper can create huge hurricane if people loves that.
