Facebook pages used bring us cool amount of traffic in the past. But now things have changed and facebook has decided to make money by making the page owners to spend money and promote their post, if they want to deliver it to the whole page member base.

Impact is huge if you used to get a huge amount of traffic by promoting your stuff on facebook pages and personally for me the “seen” count of my page wall posts has reduced by more than 90%. See some of my data below

This is before Facebook decided to make money from the groups

Showing your Apache version and OS info in the server signature is a bad practice. Specially if you are using WHM CPanel on your server, the signature shows nasty amount of information for outsiders. For example here is the signature from my WHM server

apache/2.2.23 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.23 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635

So how you can stop this behavior? You just need to log in to WHM and do some changes

See that seismograph above? That’s pretty accurate seismographic data generated directly from my Macbook Pro. How is that possible? Well I’m glad you asked. All Macbook’s and Macbook Pro’s ( Not latest SSD storage only models ) comes with a sensor called SMS “Sudden Motion Sensor” which is basically a accelerometer built in to your mac for detecting sudden accelerations,vibrations or drops. Its used to stop and park the hard drive heads instantly if one of those reasons occur, so it can prevent the hard drive head from touching the platters and likely scratching it when a impact occurs.  You can read more about SMS here on Apple’s knowledgebase

Does changing servers affect Google rankings?

by Ruchira on January 4, 2013

 

 

Google’s search engine algorithms are ever changing, as end users we don’t have any details about how it work, but we do have common set of rules such as “quality content is the key” I strongly believe that, but even if we write quality content still there are some things we doesn’t know for sure. Does changing our web hosting affects our Google rankings?

Swiftkey 3 review

by Ruchira on January 3, 2013

 

I have been a fan of included samsung keyboard for a long time. My first android phone was a Galaxy S and it had “Swype” keyboard built in to it, those times it was cool to use it but when I was moved on to Galaxy SII I found its built in keyboard to be little bit better than the swype beta version that anyone can download, heck “Swype” might have been better but the truth is that, once I get used to a specific keyboard its really hard to give it up and move on to other unless it has a wow factor. So when the Galaxy SIII got released I moved on to that and found all in built apps including keyboard are really cool and beautiful. I really didn’t felt the need to change my keyboard until I saw the holidays 50% off deal on swiftkey 3 keyboard. I have heard lots of praises about swiftkey but never bothered to take a look myself. After seeing that cool deal I decided to take the plunge.
