Google+: Now invite 150 of your friends in bulk

By 6 Comments

Google Plus is slowly expanding its user base. First it was available for only a handful of people. Then it allowed existing user to invite friends by sharing post with them. In an effort to ease the process of invitations, Google+ has recently allowed its users to send 150 invitations to people who are not using Google+. When you are at your “home” in Google+, look to the right side bar for “Invite friends”. It tells you how many invitations are you left with. Click on it to send invitations to your friends by email.

Send Bulk Invites:

Want your Facebook friend to join you on Google Plus? Definitely inviting them by email is a tedious task. For this reason, Google+ has provided another option: Invitation by link. It gives you a link which you can then share with your friends, share it on twitter, Facebook or mail them the link. People who click this link then are provided with an option of joining Google+.

I have share the link for bulk invite in this post: Get 150 Google+ (Google Plus) invite If you are still not using Google+ then you can try getting one invitation there. Enjoy :)

Tulalip: Microsoft’s “Secret” Social Networking Project?

By 7 Comments

Few days back Microsoft “accidently” published a secret project named “Tulalip” which by it’s looks seems to be somekind of social networking site. FYI the word Tulalip is referred to a group of Native American peoples from western Washington state in the United States. Strange enough, Tulalip gives Facebook and Twitter log-in option and the tagline suggests it to be incorporated with Bing search (sounds like Google +1?). Here take a look at the pic:

The Tulalip project WAS accessible on socl.com, but now the website reads this:

Thanks for stopping by.

Socl.com is an internal design project from a team in Microsoft Research which was mistakenly published to the web.

We didn’t mean to, honest.

With the buzz generated by Google+ it is quite likely that Microsoft too wants a pie (bigger than what it has in Facebook :P) out of the Social Networking. Do express your views on the latest war on social networking and in the near future which one has the potential to take over the cyber world.

[update] News: Strange behavior of Facebook No feeds No Side Bars

By 1 Comment

While the cyber world abuzz with Google+ hype, Facebook is having some troubles. I can witness some strange behaviour of Facebook (Is it a worldwide outage?) at the present moment (Its 8:05 PM CET). These are the things which I notice currently:

  • Very few feeds 3-4 maximum
  • Hardly any Most Recent Feeds
  • I cannot see new notifications
  • Cannot go into the message box

In short Facebook is dead (for few moments :) ). I hope it will be back to normal soon.  You can have a look at my profile which looks so dull.

Do provide your view on it. Enjoy :)

Update:

Seems like it was a maintenance outage. Facebook is back to normal. :)

How to type in Hindi and other Indian languages on any website like Facebook, Twitter

By 2 Comments

Write in Hindi and Indian Languages on Facebook, Twitter and any other wesbiteIf internet is your religion then Google is your God :) Always there to guide and help. This time with their Transliteration bookmarklet. Sometimes when you want to reply in Hindi or any other language you simply feel helpless and you wish for an easy way that could enable you to write in Hindi or other languages. Google powered websites like Orkut has automatic option of writing in Hindi but not all of them provide such luxury. At different forums it simply is a tough task.

Thanks to Google’s Transliteration bookmarklet it is simply matters of clicks. If you want to write  यार मस्त कट रही है instead you type “yaar mast kat rahi hai” and this can easily be translated into Devanagri script. Same goes for other languages as well.

Please follow the steps (The same steps are followed for other languages as well, links for other language bookmarklet is given at the end of the page):

  • Drag and drop this link  [अ Type in Hindi] your browser’s bookmark bar
  • Now, when you want to type in Hindi on a particular website just click it once
  • It will enable the translation. You can see अ in the type box.
  • If want to stop typing in Hindi, click it once again and it will be disabled

Remember: You have to click on the bookmarklet for each website i.e. if you have multiple tabs open, then click on it for each tab. If you opened another website on the same tab you have to click it again to type in Hindi. But it’s not a pain as it is only a matter of a click.
