ravi 15 Apr 2006 10:48 am: from all countries in the list indians are the only one with something technical in their queries. hurrah for that
Prabhu 17 Apr 2006 6:03 am: Could be due to the fact that Sujatha is writing an article about it in a tamil weekly
S Anand 17 Apr 2006 7:37 am: If so, Tamil Nadu would have to be a big chunk of India’s Google searches. Given the absense of other Tamil queries, I doubt this was the only factor… but it sure must have contributed!
Gautam 26 Apr 2006 6:05 pm: funny how sania mirza ranks over aishwarya, though !

MoSoSos: Mobile Social Software services.

I checked in to dodgeball, she said, and “I got an alert that ‘so-and-so has a crush on you, and he is at X bar, go and say hi.’” she said.

So McGunigle went to the bar, and by coincidence, it was the same guy she’d just seen on the subway. Like her, he’d been too shy to make an approach, but not to send a text message.

Nor do I. I host on Geocities, which serves ads.
So why not try rootshell.be. They give a free *nix account and currently they often have problems with quota system. So technically unlimited space, no banner ads, amazing uptime… blah… blah… blah.
S Anand 8 Mar 2005 3:06 pm: www.freestarthost.com is what I am testing right now.
S Anand 8 Mar 2005 4:47 pm: But in the meantime, the ads seem to have vanished!
Dhar 8 Mar 2005 6:54 pm: Yeah.. that is right. I wonder what happened.

Self writing blogs and blog automation

Tue, 05 Oct 2004 12:00:00 +0000

iamlearn and rrobot are self-writing blogs. Written by programs, that is. They’re quite readable, though somewhat meaningless. (Why not write a useful self-writing blog… like Google News?)
