the success of social networking came from the fact that people are a social animal.
it is our instinct to get in touch with one another.
We, generally, don’t want to be always alone.
if we study ourselves, we are capable and designed to communicate.
Keeping you recent friends close, and even allowing you to find long lost friends is just a wonderful thing this technology has created.
These are some of Google Search strategies that might help you:
use these: ”your_term”
if you want google to only show results that contain the exact words inside ” “. for example if you type these in google: “guitarists”, it will NOT give you results for guitar or guitarist, BUT only guitarists.
use this: -your_term
if you want to exclude it to your search result.example type in these: Beetle -Volkswagen. Google will only give you results for beetles EXCLUDING the sites that contains the word Volkswagen.
use this: AND or OR
use AND or OR between to narrow your search result. You know how to use this operators, don’t you?
use this: definition: your_term
if you want google to be your dictionary, just type this in your search bar. for example, you want the meaning of procrastination. just type definition: procrastination.
these are just some of the tricks that i employ when using google. there are other tips on how to use search engines..
Just Google them up!
If you are not aware of KONY 2012, well… you should be.
It is a propaganda launched by invisiblechildren.org to make Kony famous. Kony is the leader of the LRA who creates an army composed of children whom he kidnapped from different places in Uganda.

The goal of KONY 2012 is to make Kony famous.
This will hopefully pressure world leaders specially politicians from the United States to create actions to stop Kony from abusing the children of Uganda.
This video was quite a success for as of today, (roughly a week after upload) the youtube video reached more that 76 million views.
Video sharing has proven itself to be a very powerful medium in reaching people around the world. Unlike photo sharing or blogging, videos offers the best visual communication available for us humans. Because of this technology, even people with no money that wanted to be heard can do so thru video sharing. unlike before where television is our only choice.
This post will be from my personal experience is using these top two email client here in the Philippines. Most of us especially students have an email account on either one of these two email providers.
However, the question we need to ask is this:
Which of these two internet giants provides better email?
Well, since high school (that was a very long time ago) I am using mail.yahoo.com for my emailing needs. It was a very reliable email provider for me. I only uses emails to submit assignments to my teachers back then.
However as the time passes by, during college, the security of yahoo mail have become so weak that it has become so vulnerable to internet attacks. I also happen to receive so many spam messages.
That’s the reason why i created a gmail account. The interface of gmail is very simple. very ‘google’ like. It is easy to use and the security is very good too. I cannot find anything not to like about gmail.
So what’s the verdict?
I still prefer to use yahoo mail. I don’t know. Maybe bad (and old) habits are really hard to break. It’s just my preference. Besides, yahoo mail security has been a little better right now.
so, it’s it. Have a problem with that? :b
WHAT IS A WEB OS?
A Web OS is a web-based app (generally powered by either AJAX or Flash technologies) that emulates the application capabilities of an operating system.
It’s basically a virtual desktop that gives you communication tools (like email and instant messaging), productivity tools like word processing, and ability to play games and any other application that you’d find on a typical OS like Microsoft Windows.
What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility over a network (typically the Internet).
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Web Operating System allows you to access applications stored not on your computer, but on the Web
The applications exist wholly or in part on Web servers within a particular provider network. When you save information in an application, you might not store it on your computer. Instead, you save the information to databases connected to the Internet.
Some Web operating systems also give you the option to save information to your local hard disk drive. It can access web applications and data from any device connected to the Internet
The user can access the Web OS on one computer, create a document, save the work and then access it again later using a completely different machine. Web operating systems offer users the benefit of accessibility
