Google is on an experiment, again.

I just want to copy the definition of the experiment from Google’s related webpage:

This experiment lets you influence your search experience by adding, moving, and removing search results. When you search for the same keywords again, you’ll continue to see those changes. If you later want to revert your changes, you can undo any modifications you’ve made. Note that this is an experimental feature and may be available for only a few weeks.

CollegeTonight, a new social networking specialized for college people will try to push Facebook out of the leadershipin social networking and especially in the biggest user group, namely the students. They hav raised a 1.6 million $ round of financing.

If you are addicted to wine and always want to get the best wine around the world. Here is a good website recommendation: Snooth.

Snooth is a recommendation website built on Web 2.0 with a simple and user-friendly design to search for the wines you want, read the reviews, see the ratings given for it. You can write a review and give a note as well.

Read from J. Zeldman’s blog;  a new project has been launched today: Email Standards Project. The mission of the project is to contact the e-mail client developers and community and support the in improving the web standards and accessibility in e-mail. Actually, HTML based e-mails are concerned.

They have also tested and reviewed many popular e-mail clients, took screenshots (Gmail has frustrated me very much) etc. - showing how the clients render a base HTML e-mail template.

In my opinion, starting this project is a good idea.  Succeeding in it? We’ll see.

I installed Flock a week ago. I was using Firefox since it was released as beta and I am a big fan of it. I was designing my designs mainly for Firefox when very few developers was using to check the compatibility of their designs to Firefox.

Then I met Flock. The first time was its first beta version and had many bugs. After some time and exactly a week ago I wanted to give one more try to this “social browser” and here are my opinions:

• I liked it at the first sight, because it uses the same codebase of Firefox.
• It deserves to be named as “the social browser”. The integration of many social websites like Facebook, Youtube, Flickr etc. makes it unique.
• It also has many add-ons & extensions like Firefox.
• It’s also as slow as Firefox. I don’t think there’s much difference about it. (By the way this was the main reason I gave a try to Flock because Firefox is getting slower and slower.)
• Batch uploads, quick searches etc. - such options are already integrated with it. Very useful.

As I told you above, it is a great browser to use when you are a social networking and browsing freak. But an optimization-maniac like me would not prefer it, too.

Anyway, which one of both you will choose isn’t important, never ever choose Internet Explorer!

Polly wants a cracker.
Think I should get
off her first.
I think she wants some water.
To put out the blow torch.

It isn’t me.
We have some seed.
Let me clip.
Your dirty wings.
Let me take ride.
Don’t cut yourself.
I want some help.
To help myself.
I’ve got some rope.
You have been told.
I promise you.
I have been true.
Let me take a ride.
Don’t hurt yourself.
I want some help.
To help myself.

Polly wants a cracker.
Maybe she would like more food.
She asks me to untie her.
A chase would be
nice for a few.

Polly says her back hurts.
And she’s just as bored as me.
She caught me off my guard.
It amazes me, the
will of instinct.

My dear grandpa has passed away yesterday afternoon.

I will always remember him as a hero came back to his land and took his grandson to the playground in the neighbourhood and gave him some eucalyptus candies which I like at most…

P.S.: He was a Korean War veteran and I am so proud to be his grandson. I will always be…
