Never try this kind of applications, they won’t work on Facebook. These applications might give you un-wanted surprises like posting some spam links on your wall or your friends wall. Just imagine how many of your friends will fall for that silly looking spam link on your wall.

Facebook doesn’t allow tracking the profile visits data. Any application which is developed to track such data will be taken care of, before it actually tracks anything meaningful.

Can I see who’s viewed my profile? There’s a group or application claiming I can find out who has been viewing my profile.

Facebook does not provide applications or groups with the technical means to allow people to track profile views or see statistics on how often a particular piece of content has been viewed and by whom. If an application claims to provide this functionality, please report the application by going to the application’s About page and clicking “Report Application” at the bottom of the page, or by clicking “Report” at the bottom of any canvas page within the application.
Applications you use may ask for permission to access content from your News Feed and Wall. Granting this permission does not allow applications to see who has viewed your profile. It simply allows applications to see which friends have interacted with posts, such as which friends liked or engaged with a particular wall post.

So, If you come across any such application, stop sending invites to your friends or posting on your wall and report the application to Facebook.

I queried “Rahman” in Google music search, Almost all Rahman Hindi songs are shown in results.

As of now only Hindi movies songs are listed. Soon Google might extend it to the regional songs too. Google music can be good time pass in your office if your company doesn’t block it :).

The songs are played in a flash player. So, install flash plugin in your browser before you try it out. It might not work in some mobile phones which doesn’t allow flash.

Every individual who creates content online has influence. Klout aims at accurately measuring that influence and empowering users to better understand and leverage that influence. Klout’s already existing twitter analytics platform considers metrics such as retweets, @ Mention counts, list counts, list follower counts etc. to measure the influence of a tweeter. Through its new Facebook analytics platform, Klout pulls user parameters like comments, likes, and data from friendship network to measure the user influence. Here’s a detailed methodology on how the Klout Score is calculated.

Put in Klout’s own words, “The Klout score is highly correlated to clicks, comments and retweets. The final Klout Score is a representation of how successful a person is at engaging their audience and how big of an impact their messages have on people.”

The Klout score measures its key metrics namely, True Reach, Amplification probability, and Network Influence for every user. Here’s what Klout had to say about Phoenix Suns, an independent twitter account maintained by fans for fans.

Since its launch in 2008, Klout garnered over 250,000 users and over 300 API partners, including Cotweet, Hootsuite, Tap 11, Live Intent, PostUp among others. In April 2010, Klout secured US$ 1.5 million in series A funding from Mayfield fund, ff Asset Management, Lucid ventures, Quigo technologies, Paige Craig and others.

There’s always a risk of Twitter and Facebook devising their own popularity tracking services, which might be preferred by the users/ clients for obvious reasons. However, Klout now seems to clearly lead the pack with an established user base, a decent chunk of API partnerships and its newly integrated Facebook platform.

It remains to be seen if Klout will be able to influence its own self among the social media circles in the long run. Do you think the derivative services, primarily serving big players like twitter and Facebook fare well through the time? Or do they just add to the clutter in the already overcrowded web space?

Google TV is an open source platform for TV-related devices and is built on Android. It runs the Google Chrome web browser as well as Adobe Flash 10.1 to let users access the web content. Google TV comes loaded with a handful of apps just like any other smart phone does. Developers will be able to work on Google TV apps by early 2011. They can further start optimizing their website for Google TV. Here’s is the guide for developers

Here’s a quick look at the apps that come loaded with Google TV.

Coming to the most important factor, the content partners, Google TV has already paired up with Turner Broadcasting, CNBC Real Time, HBO, Amazon Video on Demand, Netflix etc. Google is also working with variety of providers like news sites, music sites, and online TV networks including NY Times, USA Today, VEVO, Pandora, Napster, Blip.tv etc.

Put in Google’s own words, “The coolest thing about Google TV is that we don’t even know what the coolest thing about it will be.” One of those cool features can be that the users can use their android phone or iPhone as the TV remote and can use multiple phones to control the TV (No more remote wars!!).

All set to launch later this month, Google TV’s current technology partners include Logitech and Sony. Logitech with its special Google TV set-top box, the Logitech Revue plans to release the product by the end of October at a price of $299 (A bit pricey considering Google’s other services, eh?!). If you happen to be a Dish Network Subscriber, here’s some good news for you – You can own the device for $179, further topped up with the ability to schedule DVR recording directly over Google TV interface. More interestingly, Sony is planning on launching the world’s first Google TV embedded HDTV as well as a Blu-ray player towards the end of this year. The devices will be available at BestBuy stores in united states.

Do you think Google TV has what it takes to be the next revolutionary product that changes the TV, movie and the advertising industry? Share your opinions.

ICANN was set up in 1998 and operated under the aegis of the U.S. Commerce Department. It is the only body which decides what names can be added to the Internet’s top level domains (TLDs) such as .com as well as country designations. Last month, the U.S. government agreed to changes that in effect meant ICANN would no longer report solely to the United States.

What would this mean ?

Definitely a big step towards internationalisation of the internet , and it could lead to a rise in the number of Internet users dramatically.
