Browser Browser !

Well, Well Well....I am a big fan of reading about the competition and the competitors tactics. I have been following the stories since I was new to computers. I used to be a great fan of Netscape Navigator and read alot of stories about the the war between Internet Explorer and Netscape. Then came a browser Noeplanet which was faster than Netscape but failed due to many reasons which frankly speaking I dont remember because I was a kid that time. For a long long time, Internet Explorer has dominated the market until Firefox came into being and Wow what a browser with simply awesome features. The concept of tabs was introduced by Opera but beautifully followed by Fireox. Firefox is fast, reliable and I simply loved the feature of storing the session if the user has opened two or more tabs. Apple also introduced Safari which they claimed to be the fatest browser but with the launch of chrome they are now a little behind. Last month Google Inc, which recently launched its own Chrome browser, joined the Mozilla foundation, producer of the Firefox Web browser, and Norway's Opera, in protesting Microsoft's dominance in the browser market.n January, European regulators brought formal charges againstMicrosoft for abusing its dominant market position by bundling its Internet Explorer Web browser with its Windows operating system, which is used in 95 percent of the world's personal computers. So now Microsoft Corp is developing a feature in its new operating system that allows users to turn off Internet Explorer and other key Microsoft programs. So lets see what is the next strategy of each player in the browser market. I am also sharing a comparison of the Top Browsers in the market.

20 Permits You Deserve! By Kimberly Englot

I am under the impression that most people do not allow themselves these simple principles. I know that until recently, I didn’t either. I think it’s very important to shed some light on 20 permits that you need to allow in your life. Let go of the idea that you’re being selfish. Think of it as being self-ish! Many of these permits are familiar, but being an adult and the responsibilities that go along with that move in and take over our common sense! Take a few minutes to go through this list. How many of these do you give yourself permission for on a regular basis? Take away your inner critic’s power!

GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO:

1.LET GO OF “OBLIGATIONS.” If you don’t absolutely love it, consider letting it go!

2.SAY NO! Every yes you say to something, is a NO you are saying to your family.

3.CHANGE YOUR MIND. Circumstances change, so do moods, feelings, impressions, ideas and people!

4.REASSESS YOUR GOALS, PASSIONS AND DREAMS. As you change, so should your “plan.”

5.QUESTIONS OTHERS. You have every right to make up your own mind and not just follow along, especially if it doesn’t feel right for you.

6.HAVE YOUR OWN OPINION. Don’t let others dissuade you or bully you! You are allowed to think whatever you want, and so are they.

7.TAKE TIME OFF. Honestly, the world will not implode because you took a break! Take time to recharge and you’ll function at your peak afterwards.

8.MAKE MISTAKES. Life would be pretty boring if you were perfect, not to mention how much others would dislike you because they felt inferior!

9.SLEEP IN. Rest is important, schedule a day where you can sleep in if you want to.

10.LET “IT” GO. Dragging old resentments and anger will only hurt you.

11.HAVE “ME” TIME. Having at least one thing that is just for you will go a long way to improve your life.

12.BE GRATEFUL OF WHAT YOU DO HAVE. Getting stuck in a cycle of I’ll be happy when… keeps you from being happy, EVER. Look around and see how wonderful your life is now!

13.SUCCEED. Sometime you get in your own way! Fear of failure is less of a factor than fear of success in most cases.

14.DREAM BIG! Small dreams keep you safe, and small! So dream big because even if you don’t fully succeed, you’ll be much farther ahead.

15.CELEBRATE “SMALL” STUFF. This puts in your mind how grateful you are for what is in your life. Success is success, not matter how small! Treat it with the respect it deserves.

16.FEEL REALLY GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF. It’s not bragging or boasting or being arrogant to be proud of who you are.

17.FEEL EMOTIONS (EVEN NEGATIVE ONES LIKE FEAR & ANGER). To ignore emotions only gives them more power. Acknowledge them and they’ll disappear much quicker.

18.CRY. Again, trying not to only makes it worse! Crying is not a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of being sympathetic and caring, not to mention a release.

19.FORGIVE. “Holding anger & resentment towards another is like drinking poison and expecting it to kill your enemy.” Forgiveness is for you, not the other person.

20.REWARD YOURSELF. When you reach a milestone, reward yourself. While creating your plan, decide how you’re going to reward yourself once each big goal has been reached.

Stumble Upon!

The trend of information sharing is obviously changing and different internet players are trying to come up with new concepts in order to grab the attention. One of the major problem in web businesses is you have to give your users something new to increase your traffic otherwise your users will be bored with the same old activities. Orkut is one example which I would like to give here. Although the concept was great and they were the market leader in Brazil, India and Pakistan. But they didn’t add something new and facebook came up with a concept of applications and new catchy interface. Now if you go to alexa.com and compare the traffic between orkut and facebook, you will find Orkut nowhere near to facebook. What is this all telling us?

 

Definitley, Internet players have to be aware of the fact that no matter how catchy your interface is, how many features are there on your website but there will be a time when your website will boredom the audience. A new concept has arrived which is not new to the world but its still has to be evovled in Pakistan because most of the traffic is from the west and still alot of brand awareness needed. 

StumbleUpon is an Internet community that allows its users to discover and rate Web pages, photos, and videos. It is a personalized recommendation engine which uses peer and social-networking principles.

Web pages are presented when the user clicks the "Stumble!" button on the browser's toolbar. StumbleUpon chooses which Web page to display based on the user's ratings of previous pages, ratings by his/her friends, and by the ratings of users with similar interests. Users can rate or choose not to rate any Web page with a thumbs up or thumbs down, and clicking the Stumble button resembles "channel-surfing" the Web. StumbleUpon also allows their users to indicate their interests from a list of nearly 500 topics to produce relevant content for the user There is also one-click blogging built in as well.

 

Go see it for yourself…It has a lot to offer!!!!!
