Online money market account

Many of the readers in this blog are big business men (some of my friends that is) and I would like to tell them something about an online money market account, this is not promotion of a particular product but an insight to what it is.

A money market account is just like a regular savings bank account but the deposit that you keep always has to be above a certain limit like a thousand dollars. These accounts give more interest as compared to savings bank accounts.

Today technology has taken it to the next level. You can have money market accounts online! There are many banks offering this service (but be careful!). I wrote this post after surfing through the web and seeing that there is limited information on it.

Here is a quick summary of what an Online money market account is:

• Its an online account
• Requires a large initial deposit which has to be maintained all the time
• Some banks have a limit of three to four cheques a month

You must be wondering why I put it here, one is to give more info my blog readers and second is I am just amazed where technology has taken us. With the help of few computers, banks are able to reach the homes of every individual! Imagine a man in the 80’s who wanted to start an account like this, he had to go to a bank, fill a form etc… But now just one online application and a credit card number can do the trick.

Expensive adsense keywords

Adsense is not the main revenue generator for our blog here but it is the main source for many other blogs, so here is a small tip on high paying adsense keywords. Many people are looking for the expensive adsense keywords, that is ones which pay you the highest. Some claim that keywords like lawyers and some diseases give a lot of pay. Finding the right keyword is just a game of common sense.

A keyword will fetch you more money if more advertisers are competing for it, yes, keywords like web hosting have a lot of advertisers ready to invest. So think about the niche where advertisers will pay a lot for people to visit, like websites selling some service and develop a website based on that. You don’t need adsense keywords list and stuff like that, you just have to think and use common sense! So people who are wasting money on top adsense keyword lists and stuff like that, stop it!

I do suggest you to read other adsense blogs. These blogs can give you certain feedback. This whole month I will be writing about adsense here.

Making sure your website is always up

Many of you that read this blog are probably having a website or blog of your own. I think that most of you have experienced problems with your web host. I just wanted to share with you that I for another web project of mine recently signed up for a hosting plan with Globat and I didn’t experience any problems at all in the start-up phase (which usually always happen) and now after a couple of weeks, the site still runs very smooth even though I had to contact them to change PHP version. Most web hosts doesn’t even let you change PHP version (read more in this guide to PHP). I will soon let you know about my new project but this far, it’s a secret ?.

Youtube and Airtel have a pretty similar logo

Airtel and Youtube logo looks similar (Looks seventy to eighty percent similar to me), like a case of great minds thinking alike or a simple copy. YouTube is the largest video hosting website in the world and Airtel is the largest cell phone service provider in India and their logo looks alike. The tag lines, “Broadcast Yourself” and “Express Yourself” is also same. If it is not the case of great mind thinking alike then it is YouTube copying from Airtel. A fellow blogger thinks it is a case of  great minds thinking alike.

A working website to detect invisible users on Yahoo messenger

If you think your friend on Yahoo is ignoring you or is trying to appear offline to you then you will love this tool for sure. I thought this website will be really helpful for our users and thus decided to post a review.

Ydetector is a very good tool to help you find friends who appear offline to you. Unlike many other invisble detectors this one works. After some intense checking and cross checking we came to the conclusion that it works and doesn’t show the ‘Server is Busy’ error unlike other websites. Some of the other services like this cannot detect people who are invisible on Yahoo messenger, so they simple show the ’server is busy’ error

Another interesting thing is that it can also check for status of Yahoo users in WebMessenger. Other Yahoo invisible detectors cannot detect if people have opted to ignore who are not in their messenger list but the new version which is going to come soon will have the capability to do it.

I talked to the owner of this website and he tell me that a new version of Ydetector is going to come very soon and he did show me and it had a very elegant and simple design.

Click here to go and check out Yahoo invisible detector.

Do note that their new version is coming up soon and tech36 is going to break the news about the new release very soon.

Speed up Utorrent dowloads

First of all you have to be practical, you cannot expect a very high download speed if you have a bad internet connection. If you have a good internet connection, say 512 kbps download and still you are getting 5 kBps download speed then you are in trouble. In s 512 kbps connection you should atleast get 60 kbps.

Download a torrent with lots of seeds and a good ratio which is indicated by a green colour in websites like mininova. Seeds means the people who are giving you or uploading the data from their computer which you are downloading. Good ratio means that the number of people who are uploading are more than the number of people who are downloading.

Set an upload limit on uTorrent. This probably is a myth, I saw many people telling that, so what the heck, just set an upload limit, say 10 kBps.

Switch off your firewall. Obviously a firewall will not allow a program like utorrent (not a spyware but is a medium for piracy) to upload data or download it, so it will stop it torrent from being downloaded and hence the torrent will show a red mark.

If you still want more speed, then you have to get a new connection from your isp.

Can Orkut get funnier?

Orkut is the social networking website run by Google. It has been around for quiet a while and is giving some tough competition for myspace and facebook. Orkut can be used with your Google account or any other email ID. Important features of Orkut include sending scraps, messages, testimonials and albums.

Recently Orkut went under a complete change. The old simple look was gone and the new look was brought into it. Many many new features were added into it, especially applications and stuff like that.

Well the funny part about Orkut is that it is just evolving into the next facebook. Look at the similarities, applications are a common thing to both and some of the applications are same but with different names. Well Wall in facebook was like a modification of Scrapbook on Orkut. Who in the world had the idea of telling “Bad, bad server. No donut for you”? (This may result in my website being banned from Google, pray that they take it with a sense of humor). Its Google we are talking about, the egg heads (smart fellows) there should be quick in fixing stuff like this.

“Can Orkut get funnier?” was a cliche, I do a lot of working around on Orkut, social networking and stuff, but I expect a lot more from guys at Google. Some people do say that Orkut is just Google’s way of tracking its users (well it can be true!). I work a lot on Orkut (now I have stopped) and will be a private eye to spot errors on it and report it (here and to guys at Google). You do that too.

Facebook does have some errors

There was a lot of hype about facebook and it is good. It has a lot of features and a nice design. It was marketed very well too. In spite of the all the praises, there are incidents when errors occur here.

Facebook has a very good design with a blue and white look, has man features like testimonial, wall, albums et cetera. It is pretty fast too. Some can find it to be a bit complicated though, but it will be easy for all the geeks.

This error was spotted twice while loading the top friends section in a profile. The error is ok but the way they put it is nice, unlike Orkut. Facebook simply accepts the fact that there is something wrong with it and politely tells us to get lost from that part for a few days (until its fixed).

Facebook is real fun if you love social networking. The features on Orkut and Facebook are similar now. Errors on Orkut have reduced now, after the recent update.
