Twitter: Twitter Poem :)
Posted on | December 18, 2009 | Comments
I have been using twitter for a year now. I am certainly not a good poet but trying to share my experience with twitter in a poetic way. Things have certainly changed now….
Gone were the days when twitter use to be fun!
Now it seems work!
Gone were the days when every follower was as valuable as others!
Now you get 5 genuine follower’s from 50 spammers!
Gone were the days when we waited for a DM to come!
Now you get a diet program!
Gone were the days when replying use to be pleasant.
Oopsy doopsy! you get an another product link.
Gone were the days when a single tweet would used to take hours,
Now you get a tweet every 8 secs.
Gone are the days when #followfriday was used to be nice
Now, spammers use it to broadcast new prospects to fellow spammers!

Google Mobile Apps: Google Maps Review!

Google Maps
A pretty handy application. This stays in my mobile forever unless Nokia’s Maps have something better. And i wonder what will they come up with. Google Maps has come up with new features like Latitude and Walking directions and many more..
Latitude helps you to share your locations with your friends and family. Search for restaurants and it will show you the nearby restaurants with business listings with the help of my location feature.
Some of the screenshots of new improved Google Maps.
As you can see, Public Transport and Walking are the new features added other than Driving. Just choose your end point as My Location feature will automatically detect your current location and you can see your journey.
For Driving directions, just select your destination and it will calculate the distance & time to reach your destination. It suggests you the direction at each turn.
When you reach your destination, just click reverse directions and you are good to go back. As simple as it can be.
