Google Buzz Reviews

A review on Google Buzz

Google has created a real buzz across the web with its newly launched Google Buzz. Google Users have been talking about the buzz quite excitingly since February 9, 2010 the day Google launched the product. While most Google users have been buzzing around with this transcendentally amazing product of Google, many are there to still understand what Google Buzz actually is. What are the features that Google have incorporated into its new product, Google Buzz? This review on Google Buzz is going to clarify confusions about the product.

Google have been thinking of bringing out a revolutionary change in the way of revealing information to its users. Steps have been taken to add social features to their products making them more like the open social platforms to share information. With the way of communicating with people online is changing its shade, there has been a Social web explosion, and people are communicating in micro level, where the primary way to communicate is to tell the world what you are up to and what is that you are looking for in a stream of real-time updates. Although it seems that social web lacks in the actual meaningful conversation, but it is the way you can make yourself social online, promote your profile, across your community and retrieve information thereby.

With these in mind Google has come up with Google Buzz, which is a social media sharing service built into the Gmail window. The Buzz allows you to share your pictures, video clips, links and update your status message, everything through your Gmail inbox and/or your mobile browser. Google Buzz is thus an effort to make web universally social, which makes it a phenomenal spot for sharing information online in the real time update streams.

The five basic features introduced to Google Buzz are:

  • Automatic friends lists updated: Friends who have emailed you on Gmail or will be email you in future will be automatically added
  • Rich fast sharing: Google Buzz is gifted with a feature called “Rich fast sharing”, which combines sources like Picasa and Twitter into a single feed, and it includes photo browsing in full size.
  • Public and private sharing: You can swap between family and friends.
  • Inbox integration: Google Buzz features emails that update dynamically with all Buzz threads, including photo viewer. It does not email you with the updates like Facebook and Myspace.
  • Recommended Buzz: Google Buzz is also gifted with a feature called “Recommended Buzz” that helps putting friends-of-friends thread content into your stream, even if you’re not known to them.
With these five transcendental features Google Buzz might become one of the most potent tools for Internet Marketing professionals.

What’s more interesting about Google Buzz is that Google made Buzz available to your mobile phones as well. Yes… its not restricted with in Gmail but rather it has moved a step ahead and nicely works on mobiles phones too right from Google.com on Android and iPhone browsers. It is smart enough to locate your position from a one button press and the thread feeds can be tailored to their information on more serious stuff such as businesses or share market updates. Online business is likely to have a subtle twist now with Google Buzz.

Apple Ignited a Spark in iPhone Application Revolution



Sparks flew all around with Apple spearheading the iPhone revolution! The first launch of iPhone made unexpectedly amazing blast in the global market, but the fire storm cooled down with the spread out of the iPhone virus news.

Apple engineers started to burn their midnight oil to upgrade their revolutionary iPhone. After nights of hard work Apple declared that iPhone will run the third-party application only if they are designed according to the Web 2.0 Internet standards. That's really a great news, which made some people raise their eyebrows with shriek of surprises! Yes, developers can now create web 2.0 applications that can be run on iPhone, just as smoothly as iPhone's built-in applications. Good news is that even with the third-part app installed the users can seamlessly access their iPhone’s services, such as making phone calls, accessing Google map and sending emails. Apple claimed that users won't have to compromise security and reliability while using the third-party application on their iPhones, provided the app is created using Web 2.0 standards. “Developers and users alike are going to be very surprised and pleased at how great these applications look and work on iPhone,” said Steve Jobs, CEO, Apple. He continued, “our innovative approach, using Web 2.0-based standards, lets developers create amazing new applications while keeping the iPhone secure and reliable.”

What's the difference between the application that people have been using and the ones that are programmed using web 2.0 standards? To put it in the simplest way, the applications based on web 2.0 standards are more responsive, interactive, and user-friendly as compared to the web application that we have traditionally been using. Moreover, web 2.0-based applications can easily be distributed across the web without technical hassles.

iPhone Virus Warrants Caution to Third-Part Applications Installers

third-party apps iPhone Virus trojan in iPhone trojan iPhone firmware third-party applications iphone virus in iphones
iPhone craze is gradually putting an end to the cell phone generation by kicking of a boom in the hi-tech world. The iPhone madness all over the world have affected people irrespective of age and gender. But money is the name of the game - beyond all doubts! Had the price been within the range of affordability of the general mass, iphone craze would have eradicated what we call cell phone by now. With amazing applications designed for iPhone, it's one of the path breaking technology such as Multi-Touch interface, GPS, 3D positional audio, real-time 3D graphics and the accelerometer. All you need to do is to tap into the App Store and pick from thousands of enticing apps that you want to download.

Along side all these boons, iPhone has spread the fear of virus - iPhone virus! Whatever name you give to it - a virus or a technical fault, the program meticulously screws you by ceasing the software to work for you. Cnet says: It’s called "iPhone firmware 1.1.3 prep", which according to them is "an important system update." The program isn't a menace as it only displays the message "shoes"; it doesn't do any harm other than refraining certain third-party applications from working well on iPhone. The program messes with applications like Launcer, Doom, Erica’s Utilities and OpenSSH, However, it's original apps work like magic! It may also happen that all the host sites may be shut down abruptly. It's just a result of bad programming... it seems.

A report of the discovery of first Trojan for the iPhone was documented by the major iPhone enthusiast site: iPhone enthusiast site Modmyifone.com, followed by a confirmation from the security research organization F-Secure. Technical experts says that the so-called iPhone virus doesn't pose any big risk for the general iPhone users. The Trojan actually attacks the third-party apps only and hence robs off the excitement of users who tend to modify their iPhones for installation of third-party applications in to their hi-tech device. According to Modmyifone.com all the app does is displays "shoes". But once you uninstall the application, it removes the files from /bin directory on the iPhone. This consequently breaks off the valid applications like "Erica's Utilities" and "Sendfile". On its website, F-Secure said: "Hopefully this serves as a warning for those who have opened their iPhones using a security hole in the system and then installing unverified software without a second thought to what they are doing". Most amazingly, it was an 11-year-old child playing with XML files who created the Trojan, reported F-Secure! F-Secure said, "Next time it might be someone else with more skills and with specific target".

iPhones Reviews - Apple's iPhone to Revolutionize The Cell Phone Generation

iPhone3G iphone reviews multimedia smartphone Apple's iPhone iphone3g first generation iPhoneHere's another amazing creation of Apple. Yes... iPhone that created a buzz across the web. This is again a struggle for Apple to inject the iphone virus amidst the cell phone user mob. Steve Jobs - the Apple founder once stated that he would be happy if the iPhone could manage to engulf as negligible as only 1% of the 1 billion mobile phone users in the global market during its first year. Shortly after this smart gadget stepped in to the market, the US-based market research firm Markitecture published a report showing that only 6% of 1300 mobile phone users were likely to skip to iPhone, keeping aside their traditional cell phones in the next one year.

The biggest hurdle for Apple to promote iPhone is not only it's high price, but also the carrier issues, i.e. Cingular in US. Yet, it seems the iPhone virus is still spreading wide across the globe. So what's there in the iPhone that creates a whole lot of craze all around? Putting it in the simplest way, iPhone is a revolutionary mobile phone that facilitates you by allowing you to make a call just by tapping a number or a name in your call log, address book or favorites list. This technically engineered hi-tech device automatically syncs all the contacts from your Personal Computer, Mac, or even Internet services. This internet-connected multimedia smartphone has been designed with classy flush multi-touch screen, without a physical keyboard. With a minimal hardware interface, the virtual keyboard is rendered on the touch screen instead of pressing buttons like the regular mobile phones. Apple's iPhone has a wide range of functionality. Starting from a camera phone (including visual voicemail and text messaging), it functions almost like an ipod with a hi-tech portable media player. You can use it as a mobile Internet client to access your email, and/or web browsing. Local Wi-Fi connectivity adds flavor to the usability of this internet-connected multimedia smartphone.
