Barnes & Noble Nook on Shelves Wednesday
by Neetika on Feb.09, 2010, under Gadgets, Top Gadgets
While the Nook — Barnes & Noble’s $259 e-reader and Kindle rival — has been available for purchase online since November, it has yet to be sold in the company’s brick-and-mortar stores. Come Wednesday, however, that will all change.
The New York Times is reporting, “Barnes & Noble, the country’s largest bookselling chain, said that its Nook electronic reading device would be available for purchase in its stores starting Wednesday.”
Barnes & Noble originally made a big splash with its Nook announcement in late October, but its digital book reader has since been met with mixed reviews and suffered from stock shortage problems around the holidays.
The push to finally get the Nook in Barnes & Noble stores is likely the result of the hoopla involving Apple’s iPad. As Google is learning via lackluster Nexus One sales, consumers haven’t exactly embraced the online-only purchase model when it comes to electronics. With its physical debut coming several months prior to the iPad’s, Barnes & Noble might have an opportunity to land key sales before consumers can hold the iPad for themselves.
Twitter Reactions Shows What the Twitterverse is Saying About That Web Page
by Neetika on Feb.08, 2010, under Latest Web Technologies, Trends

Chrome: If you’ve ever wanted to see what people are saying about a web page you’re visiting beyond the site’s own comments, Chrome extension Twitter Reactions will show you the most recent tweets that are talking about the page.
The idea isn’t unlike other universal commenting systems, like Google Sidewiki—but instead of just seeing the comments of Google Toolbar users, you can see what the entire Twitterverse is saying about the page that you’re on. It takes a bit of filtering with all the retweets or simple linking going on on Twitter, but it’s definitely interesting to see what people are saying beyond the site’s integrated comments and who’s linking to it—especially if it’s your own site or blog (you might be surprised how many people have linked to you on Twitter!).
Twitter Reactions is a free download, works wherever Google Chrome does (Note that you need to be on the beta channel for Linux or the dev channel on OS X for extension support).
Facebook Turns Its Photo Uploader into a Plug-in
by Neetika on Feb.06, 2010, under Latest Web Technologies, Trends
Facebook has just started rolling out a new photo uploader, one that the company promises will be faster, easier and more stable than the current one.
In an announcement on Facebook’s blog, the company revealed that the new Facebook uploader is actually a browser plug-in. In order to upload photos, you have to install it.
Once that’s done, though, you will be greeted by a new interface for uploading photos that connects to your computer’s file directory. From Facebook, you can navigate your hard drive and pick out the photos you want. A preview function on the bottom of the uploader makes it simple to pick the right pics out.

Oh, and it has another nifty feature: background uploads. You can navigate away from not only the upload page, but from Facebook itself while uploading photos. A notification will tell you that the uploads are done.
We don’t like installing plug-ins unless we have to, but we can see why Facebook took this approach. Still, this will limit some people from being able to upload, especially those at work with locked-down browsers.
What do you think: Is this a smart move by Facebook or are plug-ins a bad idea? Is it active for you? Let us know in the comments.
Distributed Computing Technology
by Neetika on Feb.06, 2010, under Gadgets, Latest Web Technologies, Trends
The Web Services platform represents the evolution of past distributed component technologies like remote procedure calls (RPC), ORPC (DCOM, Corba, Java RMI), messaging (MSMQ, MQSeries), and even modern Web applications (like Google.com). Because RPC was so difficult, developers layered object facades over the RPC mechanism to hide complexity.
This led to the many flavors of object-oriented remote procedure calls (ORPC). Of course, not all application communication can be modeled with RPC, so other messaging paradigms (like those provided by MSMQ) were necessary. Then, over the years, as developers struggled with interoperability between the various ORPC and messaging systems, they turned to the evolving Web as a potential solution for these challenges.
Gmail Google Search Button Makes Link Pasting Easier
by Neetika on Feb.06, 2010, under Latest Web Technologies, Trends
The Google Search box in Gmail Labs makes it easy to quickly search and paste results into an email without ever clicking away. If you don’t like sidebar clutter, a button on your email toolbar now offers the same search-and-paste convenience.
If you use a script or add-on that hides your Gmail sidebar boxes, or you’d rather keep the Google Search toolbar minimized, you can now activate the bottom-right search box pop-in with the “G” button on your email composition toolbar. Hit it, search for what you need, then hit the arrow icon when you hover over a result to grab the full result text or just the URL link and paste it into your email.
Small convenience, sure, but perfect for when you’re just looking to pass on a helpful link or recommendation.
‘Why to Choose E-commerce’
by Neetika on Feb.05, 2010, under Latest Web Technologies, Trends
Ecommerce simply means selling over the Internet — goods, services, information, whatever. Ecommerce primarily on the internet has become a billion dollar a year industry and is growing at an exponential rate. There are several reasons for this grow, a few of the more notable ones include that it opens shopping for almost anything anywhere. E-Commerce Development help you gain all the possible benefits of technology by implementing the world class technologies in practice and it’s above par skilled man power that is specialized in designing and delivering the result guaranteed solutions to your business.
E-Commerce has all that you need! There are numerous business houses ripping the golden benefits of E-Commerce Solutions and E-Commerce Development across the globe. Ecommerce is here to stay and everyone should have a basic understanding of it. From a buyer’s perspective ecommerce has many advantages. The first is convenience, you can shop night or day, from home or the office and select from stores all over the world. Another benefit is the cost savings you can benefit from, by shopping from multiple competitors you can reel in great bargains. Another aspect is that almost anything can be e-traded whether real or virtual.
Core Components of an E-Commerce Website
If you break down any E-Commerce website into its primary components, you would see that it basically involves combining an easy-to-use, manageable website design with a Shopping Cart Program and an Online Merchant Account – then setting those up through a reliable E-Commerce Hosting provider. If you acquire each of these components and integrate them together, you will have the basics you need to start attracting customers and selling your products & services online.
Hosting Account - You will need an account from a web hosting provider and you will need to register a domain name for your business (such as www.adamssite.com). To ensure security of online transactions, your E-Commerce Hosting account must have SSL capability — which is provided by SSL Certificates.
Business Website - For this component you will either have to build a site yourself, or hire a professional design company to do it for you. Best is looking into using low-cost Webpage Templates or E-Commerce Templates to fulfill this part of your E-Commerce puzzle rather than paying the higher costs of custom web design.
Shopping Cart - As with your website’s files, any shopping cart program you select will need to be uploaded to you hosting account and installed there. A good Shopping Cart Program will have its own online administrative webpage that allows you to easily add / remove product offerings and update information & pricing on each product.
Merchant Account - In order to process credit card orders and eChecks from Internet customers, you will need to select an affordable merchant account provider. You can obtain an Online Merchant Account either from your bank or from one of many merchant account services available on the Internet.
Putting them all together into a working E-Commerce website does require some technical knowledge. An increase in the growth of online trading can be attributed to an increase in purchasing power and a growing interest in varied categories including books, apparel, electronic items, consumer durables, automobiles, etc. Ecommerce allows buyers to dip their toes into the sales side if they so desire with minimal risk. To a current or potential company ecommerce represents both opportunities and challenges that need to be considered.
Is Google Planning to Take Street View into Stores? (Updated)
by Neetika on Feb.05, 2010, under Latest Web Technologies, Trends
According to a new rumor, Google could soon take Street View indoors and allow its users to walk into virtual stores. Barry Schwartz from Search Engine Land just received information from a retailer in New York that Google came to their store to take pictures of the inside of the store.
Update- It just heard from a retailer in San Francisco that Google also photographed the inside of their store about 2 weeks ago - after seeking permission to do so, of course. According to our source, the Google employee used a “specialized camera which he rotated to take the 360 degree shot.” In addition, he also took shots “looking out of the store as if exiting.” This last part makes sense if Google wants to use this sequence of images to simulate the process of entering and exiting the store.
Of course, scaling up a program like this would be a lot harder to do than having a fleet of cars drive around the country and take photos in what is now a mostly automated process.
Here is the image that Search Engine Land received from the New York-based retailer:

Given that Google is already using its Street View trikes in parks, university campuses and zoos, locations like large malls would seem like a more reasonable area to expand Street View to first. Taking Street View indoors does make a lot of sense, however. Stores and malls are the obvious example that Google could monetize, but the company could also use the same technology in museums or public buildings.
The problem with these locations, though, is that Google can’t rely solely on GPS to create these indoor views. Maybe that’s why the company decided to work with smaller locations first to try out different methods for creating reliable indoor maps efficiently. It is worth noting that there are currently only a handful of mobile apps that offer indoor maps.
Facebook’s Major Redesign Emphasizes Search and So Much More
by Neetika on Feb.05, 2010, under Latest Web Technologies, Trends
80 million users will have the new design live tonight.
Facebook is celebrating its sixth birthday today with a dramatic redesign of the homepage that millions of people see when they log on every day.
We’ve already seen images of this new design in the past, and all the things we said to watch for are included. It places a new emphasis on search and lets you sort through much more information without ever leaving the homepage. You can even send messages without navigating away.
Facebook confirmed that the redesign is already rolling out to users. Everyone will get access to the new homepage shortly, and Facebook plans to post an update to its blog announcing the changes later today. In the meantime, the lucky few who have the new homepage are posting pictures on their blogs, Twitter, and elsewhere.
A More Powerful Homepage

The pics show a much larger and more prominently placed search bar, which is just another example of how Facebook means business with search.
Facebook added real-time search features several months ago, and many of its recent privacy changes were made in the hopes that users would make some of their updates public so others could search for information just like they already do on Twitter and some other networks.
Many of the items (like groups and events) that were kept in the Applications menu in the bottom left have been moved back to the left sidebar on the main page. Rather than taking you to a new page, these now open within the main window where the feed usually appears.
Notably absent are the Friends lists. These may still exist for the purpose of the privacy features for updates and profile info, but we don’t see them as sorting options for the news feed in the images that have come out. Hopefully they’re still running in the background somehow. If you have a lot of friends, the noise can be too much if you don’t break them out into groups.
Easier Messaging
Instant messaging and the e-mail-like message inbox have been moved out of the periphery as well. Not only can you check your inbox from a dropdown menu at the top, you can send messages from there as well — again, all without leaving the front page. Your IM contact list is no longer hidden in a popup menu in the bottom right; it’s now in the left sidebar.
