Is mGinger really the worth of the hype it has got?

logo_desc

Well, I told you about mGinger in which you get paid to read SMS on your mobile phones. Today, it's around a month that I have been a member of this site and till now I have received only 1 message from mGinger. Is it really worth of the hype that it has got?

mGinger which has got so much hype and popularity from the News channels and papers hasn't been upto the mark of my expectation. While registering, they say that you can receive utmost 10 paid messages on your mobile in a day. But it has been just 1 message of 20 paisa in this whole month. Many of us have been working hard to make members under us. They say the more you make the better it is, but what's the use. You don't get paid for making members but for the SMS read by your downline and mGinger hasn't been able to get advertisers till now so that they can send their members atleast 1 message in a week making the members remind that they are members of mGinger for which they should work.

I have around 500 members under me but only 20% of them work. But for the past few days those 20% have also stopped working as they also think that mGinger is not going to pay or they might have even forgotten it. You need some boosters to work for any company and SMS are just those. If you don't get them, you get disappointed and stop working for it. Boosters can also be in the form of blog post in which mGinger has been little lazy. Moreover, their customer support or I can say their member support just does not exist. I have sent them many mails through their support but none of them was replied by mGinger team. Moreover, I tried to tell mGinger team what they lacked and some of its bugs and instead of acting on it, they deleted them.

Nevertheless, its my appeal to mGinger team to take their customers emails and comments seriously and should give up adding only comments that praise them in their blog posts, after all criticism is the best tool to achieve perfection. Moreover, they should quickly get some advertisers otherwise everyone is going to forget it and the company might get failed even after achieving so much hype from news channels and papers.

Adblock Plus - Increase Browsing Speed and save traffic by blocking Ads

Everyone of us on the internet want to surf as quickly as possible so here we are with a software that does that not directly but indirectly. Many times all of you might have experienced a situation in which an ad heavy takes so much time and bandwidth that you prefer to close that site. Today, 90% of the internet websites are filled with ads which takes far more time than the actual site contents to get loaded into your browser. The solution for this is to either don't visit these ad heavy site ( I know for most of you that's not possible ) or to block the ads that are actually responsible for slowing your browsing speed from getting loaded into your computer.

Adblock Plus is an excellent software for blocking ads oadblock n website in your browser. It can block almost 99% of the internet ads. The only thing it lacks that it is not IE compatible but it works absolutely fine with Firefox, Thunderbird, Seamonkey, Flock and Songbird.

Here is the procedure to get this great software on a PC with Firefox 2.0 installed:

  1. Click Here for downloading the Adblock Plus.
  2. Once the download in complete, confirm the setup in the dialog box by clicking the Install Now button.
  3. Next, you will be asked to restart the firefox. Click on the Restart Now button.
  4. Firefox will be restarted and you will be asked to Add Filter List. For making it easier for the new users, they have some pre-built list of filters to which you can subscribe. I liked the Easy List of filters and selected that.
  5. Now sit back, open a site and see the difference.

The default settings works absolutely fine and blocks most of the advertising on websites however you can also add a filter to your subscription list manually and optimize it for better performance. For this you will have to go to Tools | Adblock Plus. Now, click on Add Filter and add the url of the advertisement to be blocked.

Another feature that I liked about Adblock Plus is that you can manually tell it what items to be blocked. For this you will have to perform the following actions:

  1. Click on the Adblock Plus Menu on the Firefox toolbar.
  2. Select "Open Blockable Elements" to open Blockable Item List at the bottom of your browser.
  3. Now, click on any element and it will take you to the exact position of that element on the site and mark it with a blinking border temporarily.
  4. Now, if you have figured out what element to block, right click on that and select "Block This Item".

Overall, adblock works perfectly and I have experience a great experience in my browsing speed and savings in traffic which were previously consumed by those unwanted ads. The only thing that I would love to see adblock IE compatible. Nevertheless, adblock is a complete package for blocking unwanted ads and thus increasing your browsing speed and saving traffic

iPhone News: AT&T announces affordable service plans for iPhone

Apple's iPhone is going to be in the market on June 29th in Apple and AT&T Inc. retail stores. Its been just two days left for the release and AT&T Inc today announced three plans for iPhone users which starts at $59.99 per month. All of the three service plan by AT&T consists of the following services:

  1. Unlimited data
  2. Visual Voicemail
  3. 200 SMS text messages
  4. roll-over minutes
  5. Unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling

Now, the interesting and the most important thing here is that they have announced a new service for iPhone users in the form of Visual Voicemail in which iPhone users will be able to view a list of their voice mails and the users will be able to decide which voice mails they wish to listen to just like emails.

Here is the list of the plans declared:

  1. $59.99 for 450 minutes
  2. $79.99 for 900 minutes
  3. $99.99 for 1,350 minutes

Another thing to note here is that AT&T has offered unlimited data transfer for iPhone users. So, you can access internet without any worries of size of the data being transferred on your iPhone. This was mostly expected as Apple recently announced to make Youtube videos available on iPhone which definitely would have been a costly service if there isn't unlimited data transfer included in the plan.

Google Desktop Gadget: Desktop Widgets That You Can't Resist

logo3

Google desktop gadget is an application for those who love to have widgets on their PC just as in case of Yahoo widgets. Just as in Yahoo Widget, Google Desktop also requires you to install Google Desktop software on your PC. The software can be downloaded from the homepage of Google Desktop and is 1.74MB in size. The installation process was smooth and easy. I have used Google Desktop before and was surprised to see the new Google Desktop. The color of Google Desktop has been changed from white to black in this new version, which I think have made its look much cooler than what it looked in the simple white color.Moreover, they have also made Google Desktop to be a bit transparent which I think was the major effect that lacked in the previous version.

The Google Desktop got installed with some pre-installed widgets such as News Reader, RSS feeds reader, Google Weather Gadget etc.

  1. First of all, what I liked about Google News Widget is that it gives you the first few starting lines of any news with its heading unlike Yahoo Widgets in which only the News headings were there and you have to open the site to view every piece of information about that news.
  2. Ok, the second thing I liked about the Google Desktop Gadgets is the Google Alerts that keeps you informed of all the latest news coming up around the world as soon as they are posted on the respective websites or alerts for emails on your gmail account Untitled-2 copyas soon as they arrive in your mail box.
  3. Next feature that Google Gadgets has is the Auto-Hide feature just as the Auto Hide feature of Windows Task Bar. What this does, that it allows Google Gadgets to use your PC screen only when you actually want to use.

So, above three features are the major ones among the several many other features of Google Gadgets.

Top Widgets from Google Gadgets

Google Desktop has a large number of useful Gadgets and its really hard to pick the best one, so what I am going to do is to introduce you some of the widgets that I liked the most at Google Desktop. Here they are:

  1. News: Well Google News Widget that comes with the Google Gadgets is at the top of my favorite news widget. But beside that, there is another cool widget there that is based on digg.com of which I am a big fan. This widget provides you with the most popular stories at Digg.com. You can also have category wise list of the top news at Digg.com. This can be a great help if you are interested in Technology news or Sports news.
  2. Tools: There are some good tools available in the form of widgets at Google Desktop Gadgets in the form of Domain Search or Dictionary. But one of the most important and by far the most interesting tool there is a Fast Shutdown tool. By using this tool, you can quickly shutdown your computer with just one click.
  3. Communication: In this category, there are mostly widgets that allows you to send SMS to every part of the world. One of the widget there is Free SMS India. As I am in India, this tool is just great for me who love to SMS around the country with my mobile. It can be a great way of communicating with your friends and relatives in any part of India without spending a penny.
  4. Finance: Well, I liked the Adsense Status widget there that allows me to have regular updates of my Adsense earnings.
  5. Sports: I am a cricket fan and Google has something for me. They have a widget that is named as Live Cricket Scores. The name explains everything and I don't think I should say something else. They also have some more cricket widgets such as Cricket Videos and Cricket News.
  6. Technology: NASA TV is a technology widget there that allows you to keep up with latest information coming from NASA TV. I like listening to space news and I think it would be with many of my friends reading this post. So, this is an important widget for them.

Overall, Google Desktop is far more advanced and has many useful widgets than Yahoo Widget. The only thing it lacks is a widget just like Yahoo Map widget based on Google Earth. Google Desktop also has an enterprise edition for you which offers you great many other features.

Google Gadgets: Divided into Two

Well, this is our second post in Widget series of Bollyball and the journey has already taken a great start with the very cool Yahoo Widgets especially the Yahoo Map Widget that I loved the most while working with Yahoo widgets. Now, it's time to move to our second widget provider, Google. Unlike Yahoo, Google provides widgets for both your desktop and websites but they played a trick by keeping widgets for desktop and websites under two different heads.

  1. Google Desktop Gadgets

  2. Google Gadgets For Your Webpage

Google has some extremely good gadgets both for websites and desktop so Bollyball has decided to study them individually as two different sites, which actually they are. First of we will moving towards Google Desktop Gadgets and then Google Gadgets for Your Webpage. So, just wait for our next post on this, till then goodbye from me.

Yahoo Widgets for MAC OSX and Windows

general

Widgets that started to come up in blogs and web sites have now found the path so that they can be used on our computer. Yahoo widgets is a Yahoo undertaking especially for widgets that provides widgets for both MAC and Windows operating system.They have a large number of cool widgets but the only thing that I don't like about Yahoo widgets that they don't provide Yahoo widgets for bloggers and internet websites.

Yahoo Widgets currently have 4242 great widgets in its database which could be downloaded and installed. The procedure for Yahoo Widgets installation on your PC is listed below:

  1. To use Yahoo Widgets, you need to install Yahoo Widgets software on your PC. But Yahoo widgets software is compatible only with Windows Vista, Windows XP SP2, Windows 2000 SP 4 and Mac OS X 10.3.9 or greater.
  2. The important point in the installation process of this software is that it did not show any installation interface on my PC andyahoo-widgets for one time I thought that the software is corrupt. But when I tried to download a widget from the site, it went onto the next stage indicating that the software is installed on the PC.
  3. Next, choose your widget and click on the "Get Widget" button on the right bottom corner of the widget, next click on the "Continue" button for confirmation of download.
  4. Downloading will start and wait for it to be completed
  5. As soon as the downloading finishes, a window will open in front of you asking you to Accept their End User Agreement. Read it carefully and if you accept it, click on the "I Accept" button.
  6. Now, another window opens up asking you for confirmation that you really want to use the widget that you have downloaded on your PC. Click on the "Use Widget" button and you will be through.

On looking at the download process, I noted that Yahoo Widgets are really big in size so they are suitable only for websites and blogs.

TOP WIDGET AT Yahoo Widgets

Yahoo Maps - I love it: Well I just found this Yahoo Widget and its just great. You can view each and every portion of this world with Yahoo Map Widget. If you have a dream of seeing the whole world than this is a must have widget. You can look at each and every street of the world and even pin point your home with this widget. The buildings, the lakes, the trees, the mountains, the lakes etc. looks exactly as they look in real life and is almost equivalent to as if you are watching them in front of you. I found this widget the most useful and a must have widget from Yahoo although there are thousands of many useful widgets such as news readers. Here is a screen shot of My House as viewed from Yahoo Widget:

yahoo-map

Visit Yahoo Widgets Here

It looks like Yahoo has some great widgets but the fact is that most of them just don't work as expected. This can be understood as most of these widgets are user submitted widgets and many of them are made for the sole purpose to increase their site's traffic. But Yahoo must try to make widgets available for bloggers and websites as they are the largest users of widgets and it can really boost up their market share.

Bollyball coming up with Widget Buzz

Blogging have been a great fun over the past few months and have really increased my knowledge a lot. Now, Bollyball has thought of another important series of site reviews in which the top widget providers ill be reviewed for their widgets. For those, of you who do not know about widgets, here comes a brief information about it.

Widgets are a simple virtual interface that users can use to interact with your blog or website. You all have sometimes seen the shoutbox in many of sites these days. Its one kind of widget that allows your webs visitors to write their feelings and thoughts on the shoutbox so that you can know what your visitors think while they come to your site. Another form of widget is a calendar that you can use to show up on your blog and it will give your visitors the information on which days you updated your blog with new blog posts.

Well, now moving on to the Widget Buzz series that will be coming up in the next few days on Bollyball. I have seen many of those widget sites so feel that I mus tell everybody what's good and what's bad in these. I will be doing up a detailed study of those widget sites and might be putting some test widgets on Bollyball so that you can have the experience with the widgets yourself.

At the end of the series we will be concluding it with a final post in which we will be looking which are the best widgets among the widgets in he sites that have been reviewed. So, its all over from me now. Have a nice day!

Apple Announcement: High Quality YouTube videos to be available on iPhone

Apple today announced something great for iPhone and Youtube lovers. iPhone which is all set to revolutionize both the mobile and computing world on June 29 will also contain a special new Youtube application that will allow the iPhone users to view their favorite Youtube videos on their iPhone's stunning 3.5 inch display.

Apple also stated that Youtube videos can be watched by both iPhone and Apple TV users. However, Apple TV user's will have to download a special Youtube application package which can be downloaded with the help of the integrated update utility of Apple TV. Moreover, Apple TV users can view their saved and favorite Youtube videos by logging into their account on it. However, for iPhone users Apple currently allowed only YouTube originally created videos which are over 10,000 in number to be viewed on their iPhone. However, this can be looked as a major revolution in mobile internet access that iPhone is going to give write after it launch.

In an another important statement, Apple guys says that iPhone will be the first mobile device that will provide the YouTube videos in the new H.264 format that is characterized by higher video quality. But this will not only be the advantage of this new H.264 video format as iPhone users will have the advantage of longer battery life while accessing the Youtube videos. Well, this could really be great for iPhone and Youtube lovers as they can have more YouTube experience on their iPhone.

The announcement looks great but I can't understand why only those 10,000 YouTube video could be accessed by iPhone users although YouTube has millions of other great user created videos that people love to watch. One reason could be the copyright problem that YouTube is facing these days but in my view this could be a much useful service if they allowed them to access each and every YouTube videos. Although Apple stated that YouTube will be adding more and more videos to this catalogue but if they go on like this it will take more than an year to make each and every video for iPhone users available.

Registration Analytics Reports integrated with Regonline

regonline_logo

There have been many website traffic analytics services on the web these days but none of them offers a way so that you could know about our Registration Form analytics and thus, optimize it so as to attract more and more site visitors to register on your site. But now the event registration software Regonline has announced an interesting new feature that is integrated with the forms that are built up using their service so that you can analyze your visitors behaviour while they register. Reg-Analytics Report is a newly introduced feature by Regonline which allows you to have a complete overview of your visitor's response to the registration forms. It provides the following information to you about the registration forms on your website.

  1. How many people came to your registration form.
  2. From where those people came
  3. How many percentage of them completed the registration process.
  4. How much time they took to complete the registration process.
  5. Where in the  registration for they bailed out.

Besides this it provides many other information such as the number of revisits before your site visitors registers and complete graphical stats make the understanding of your data very easy. he benefit of this tool is that it tells you a complete overview of the things what people don't like on your registration form causing them to bail out from the registration process. You get to know what actually on your registration form taking away your visitors without registering, so that you can correct it and make the form more visitor's friendly and increase the percentage registration from it. Besides this, it also lets you know what are the sources of traffic to your registration form so that you can easily tap the potential sources of traffic and increase your registrations.

Overall, this tool really looks great as a Registration Analytics but needs more stats such as where your visitors go from your registration form. Finally, although this service by Regonline is relatively new but its going to become one of the most handy tool for the webmasters to optimize their registration forms.

Things that Apple's Safari Lacks for Perfect Windows Browsing Experience

safari-lack

Apple recently released their Windows based browser Safari this month. I have worked on this Apple's Safari for some time now and I found some limitations or some controls that are missing from Apple's Safari.

  • The first thing that I learnt from other websites is that Safari does have some font problem. However, my Apple Safari didn't show any such problem and all the menu and bars were absolutely fine. But, some of the people out there who are facing this problem so I feel that I must mention this here, although it was not my finding.
  • Now, this is what I observed while working with Safari. I usually have the habit to write just the name of a dot com domain and press Ctrl+Enter. For those of you, who didn't know about this shortcut just try this.
    • Open your Internet Explorer or Firefox, type "BollyBall" in your browser's address bar and then press "Ctrl+Enter". Note: This is a shortcut for visiting addresses with dot com domains without writing the name prefix "www" and suffix ".com".
    • So, when I tried to do this in Apple's Safari, it doesn't work. This shortcut for dot com domains does not work with Apple's Safari. I found this a great problem for me as I am very fond of this shortcut.
    • Secondly, when I tried to use the shortcut for dot net and dot org domains, they too didn't worked with Safari.
  • Next, problem that I found with Safari is with minimization and maximization of Safari browser
    • I know that all of you will be saying that it has the minimize and maximize button. But there is a problem with it. I and many of you might be used to minimize and maximize a window by left clicking on the task buttons that shows up on the windows taskbar. Ok, but what I found with Safari on my PC that, when I try to minimize the Safari Browser with ithe click on the taskbar it just doesn't minimizes. In order to minimize the browser, you will have to click on the "Minimize" button provided on the browser.
    • Now moving on to the "Maximize" limitation. If your Safari browser is minimized to your Taskbar and you wish to maximize the Safari browser, just notice that it will not go into the "Maximum" mode rather it will go in the "Custom Size" mode inspite of the fact that your browser was in Maximum mode when you previously minimized.
  • The fourth problem, which is actually not a problem but a suggestion to the Apple staff, that why the hell you have the close button on the Tabs on the right hand side. Every other browser has it in the left side than why are you changing the conventions followed by those biggies in browser industry. It creates a mess for me as I used to work with Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari in a day.
  • Next problem is that it does not automatically selects the address in the address bar completely when you click on it. This could be a bit boring when you wish to replace the existing address in the address bar with the address of the site that you wish to open up. This thing is available there in every other browser but not Safari. If you wish to overwrite on the previous address in the address bar than you will have to manually select the complete address instead of the automatic address selection that most browsers like IE and Firefox have. Compare the two images from Safari and Firefox when I clicked on the address in the address bar to change it.

So, these five problems that I currently found with Apple's Safari browser for Window and I hope that they will soon fix the above bugs and might take on my last suggestion in their next version.

Apple upgraded iPhone: Larger Talk Time and Improved Optical Display

promoiphoneads_20070611

The most awaited Apple's iPhone has been announced to be shipped on 29th June but what was the biggest hurdle for Apple in shipping iPhone is that how could they overcome the limitations of iPhone before it is shipped to the users. So most of the techies were expected that iPhone might extend the shipping date.

But all thanks to the Apple Guys that they have overcome all the limitations of iPhone before the shipping date. Apple in its recent newsletter told that they have upgraded iPhone so that it has no currently known limitations. They have made the following upgradation to their most awaited gadget

  • The first thing that Apple was being criticized in case of iPhone was the small battery life it has but Apple guys have increased the battery life to much higher value than it was. Here are the details

Ok, those figures looks nice but for a device like iPhone that has large number of uses, people would love to spend every bit of minute with their iPhone in their hand. So, the battery will go down quickly. What Apple must have done is that they should have allowed the iPhone users to swap the original battery with an extended one without voiding the warranty seal. Anyway, at least those guys have come up with longer talk time, stand by time, internet use etc.

  • Now lets look on to the second upgrade that Apple has done to their iPhone: Apple's iPhone has a stunning 3.5 inch display but what it lacked previously is a top surface coating that can protect it from scratches and damages. This is because previously the top surface coating was made up of plastic. But now they have upgraded this entire top surface from plastic to optical-quality glass that is characterized of having high resistance to scratches. Besides this it provides you better optical clarity than never before.

So, Apple's iPhone can now stand against the mobile phones that also provide almost equivalent talk time and stand-by time to the users. But as I said, with the facilities that iPhone provide to the users this talk time will be much less when you will actually use it as everyone will love to spend every bit of minute in front of his iPhone. Mobiles are gone days and iPhone seems to start a new revolution.
