Google is going launch social platform “me”

There a rumor going around in internet blogs is that Big G is going to launch a new social platform “me”, which uses all the google’s social endeavors like Google voice, Google Buzz, and Google Wave. This new platform could challenge Facebook if rightly planned and used. But the only problem would be how many users of 500 million facebook users want to leave and going this new Google me. May be this too much to ponder on a rumor. Forgot to mention google is also looking for “Head of Social” and the ad reads like this

“This is a new and very strategic position, as Google knows it is late on this front and is appropriately humble about it. In Google's view, conceptually, there are two ways to tackle social, each impacting who may be successful in this senior post: 1) building an innovative offering specifically in this area; or 2) developing the capability and integrating social into Google's existing portfolio.”

Interested may be you want to post your resume to Google :)

Best Free CMS for your website or Blog


I run this website on wordpress 3.0 using a free theme available on web. I am looking for an alternative free CMS solution for one of my sub-domain to have more control on the pages and give security at the page level. I googled and found couple of them and tired most of them for their ease of installation and ease of use. I liked the way TypoLight works and the features if offers me to design pages and layouts. The best this I liked in this product is modules and site navigation. Also the security it offers at the role level the members belong. Surprisingly it offers very good effects mechanism like accordion element etc.

If you really want a free CMS for your blog/site then TypoLight is the best bet, in every aspect. The one disadvantage is the forums are mostly used by non-English users as this product is mostly used in EMEA and there are not free themes or templates available for this CMS.

See the below given chart for comparing the new iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS.
iPhone4 and iPhone 3G comparision chart from Mahalo
This handy chart compares the main features of iPhone 3GS with iPhone 4 that goes on sale later this month.

The only thing they miss out is colors – iPhone 3GS was only available in black while iPhone 4 comes in the both black and white colors.

The chart is from Mahalo but you can also read the official comparison between iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS on apple.com.

Also recently I heard a comment from someone that Steve Jobs creates and sells all these new useless products and make people to feel that with out them they could not live their life. Anyways he is successful and that is all matters.

Also heard what Steve Jobs want his legacy after he dies. Read this interesting article by CNN correspondent.
