Vimeo Pick of the Month #5 - Intersections

Hola readers! :) I'm back with the featured video section of the blog that was left untouched since the past few months. This month's video features "Intersections" that is a video presenting some really picturesque scenes surrounding the Grand Union in the UK. The video has been pictured and edited to its elegance by Rick Media.
Now a cliché though, yet I would say, please don't forget to record your comments regarding the post below at the comments section. In case you wish to connect to me follow me on Twitter @ikartik90 or on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/ikartik90.Stay connected people. Cheers! :)

EXPERIENCE GOOGLE IN COMMAND LINE - GOOSH.ORG

Ever wondered what Google would have looked like in the world before the origin of the Graphical User Interface? Well if you're a real command line freak then all you need to do is go to http://goosh.org. Goosh actually stands for (unofficial) Google Shell. It is actually a browser enabled web-based interface powered by Google (uses Google's services) that gives you a CLI shell kind of an environment. It behaves like the Unix-based command line interface that lets you perform basic operations like basic keyword-based search, wiki search, checking your e-mail, translate between languages, perform calculations and lots more.

THE STATISTICS BEHIND STUMBLE UPON'S SOCIAL REACH

This is my post #2 of the day just after I posted a review on TinEye reverse image search engine. I simply got inspired to post this second article in a shot after I came across these enormous statistics delivered by Search and Social regarding the user traffic on Stumble Upon across the past year(s). Stumble Upon has really been a content broadcasting-cum-social networking fame in a very short span of time since its launch in 2001. The following statistics speak enough to prove the point right.
 

TINEYE - REVERSE IMAGE SEARCH

Guys believe it or not, this is not an affiliate stuff or paid post that's gonna get me some kind of hot cash to wet my pocket. This is just one of those websites that I landed upon while stumbling across the web using the Stumble! button of my SU Toolbar (and that's why I say- "Stumbling works!"). This is a simple review that I was tempted to write on my own on this super-cool website just to spread some awareness about its "coolness" across the web.

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE DESIGNING WEBSITE UI


As I had promised in my previous post to write on the basic things of web designing, here is an article that focuses on the basic aspects to keep in mind while designing a website. They say, if you're a salesman, then its not the product or the service, but rather, its the customer whose of prime importance to you, as he is the person to whom the stuff is targeted. In web designing as well, the case is somewhat the same. You need to customize the website according to the audience intended. Hence instead of directly designing a website in an ad hoc manner, I recommend that you try to perform a case study of your audience.
