So looking @ present picture and Social networks that are gaining lots of popularity , facebook & twitter has evolved as the centre of attraction..it made us to find our old days friends and our families ppl to be in touch.
Online friendship and dating has also gained popularity amoungs the singles ready to mingle.For me as the instance ,I've joined facebook and other social network ..more of curosity to know whats its all about ..Initially I hardly logged in ..butlater I logged in to meet my old pals there and also few new ppl via some common ..social network interaction.
The Main focus of this post is about online friendship. How much one can trust on someone ...prentend to be a friend , but has never met, there are lots of Flip flops in this.what I personally believe is that , we have to show our actual image who we are, that makes us develop our friendship or relationships grow stronger.
There are some ppl who wants to take advantage , then this theory of mine fails staightaway.So what we need to do ...So testing a relation ( friendship) sometime is best to knock out the fishy thing in it, to know what actaully one made up of. And for me it worked too in many ways to find who are my true paals and who are mean ...just doing friendship for their XYZ self intrests.Non of the methods are 100% correct , they fails too.
For example if I asked a friend , why you are sad or not well.. one whoz not willing to reveal, says there is nothing like that while its clearly reflecting in the words or talks ..other will say it personal can't share with you as I hardly know you that well ..to share this.This feel strange but thats the reality ...of this world ..people are not open enough to share even they know person for a substancial period , whats the thing thats draws them back from being frank enough to share.
What I think , one can gaze from the 1st interaction ..howz ones nature is .. initially and gradually like other relationships this kind of relation ..(the virtual one) also grows and gains confidence. But exceptions do exhists.
I'm Lucky I'hv got great friends online to whom I can share my heart out and get the solution of my problems at times , and trust and belief is the basis of this wonderful phenomena.
Wants to write more , but leaving something for you to say ...
Lastly I would say there are some false positives present everywhere.. irrespective of thinking too much on something irrelavalnt , in that process we are missing some true frend @ the cost of some silly Lil things.
P.S : Its just a thought .. I found a great ..live interaction tool to discuss things and meet the family and friends in personal via Video confrence .. have a look @ http://www.tokbox.com/

GOOGLE CHROME
Last night I was trying to find some browsers which can give me fast browsing, at the same time are more secure.
The common thoughts that comes to mind is of few
popular web browsers like Internet explorer, Mozilla Firefox , safari , google chrome and opera,
My Favoutite browser is Mozilla ,but there are few things which were not satisfying me is that which is the crash rate , hanging high CPU usage.
I tried google chrome way back , chrome is devoped by google from the open source project Chromium .But due to lots of security flaws I didn't used it there after.
But
today I'm more confident to use google chrome then any other Web browser coz its now more secure than the present browser and moreover its security can be enhanced by
using some extensions(plugins), these enhances the security and narrow down security risk to a greater extent. And being the fasted browser the browsing experience is amazing.
A Video on the evolution of Google chrome.. have a look
So here in this article about those cool extension which will reduce your online threats.
Following are the extension which I found very good afte testing.
1) AdBlock
a very handy extension as it blocks the bugging adds,for security its very good as now a days malware writers are using these adds as target to successfully
intrude into your machine W/o you knowing it.
"Malware Ad Injections" is the technique used by malware writers to infiltrate into the accredited Web sites like the New York times, so it helps in blocking adds.
2) Bug Me Not
is a very unique extenstion , helps in thwart advertising spam from Web sites that require registering. If a Web site requests information, it will check Bug Me
Not.com’s database. If registration information is available, Bug Me Not will populate the form, allowing you to continue, yet remain anonymous.
3) FlashBlock
Vulnerabilities in Flash are becoming popular targets for hackers. FlashBlock helps by initially blocking all Flash content on a Web page. You can later-on whitelist(allow)
the website from where you want to have flash , like www.youtube.com.
4) Secbrowsing - plugin version checker
extention Periodically checks if your browser is running any out-of-date, vulnerable plugins etc and keep you utodate.
5) SiteAdvisor
SiteAdvisor is a service that reports on the safety of Web sites. It shows the Web site’s rating. You also have the option of not allowing suspicious Web sites to load.
6) Unencrypted Password Warning
Unencrypted Password Warning does exactly what its name says. And Most importantly it also displays a warning if credit card numbers are sent in the clear. This extension is helpful for users who aren’t familiar with HTTPS and what it means. If there is a problem, it opens a window and explains what’s wrong.
7) WOT
Web of Trust (WOT) is another extension that rates the trustworthiness of Web sites. WOT is similar to SiteAdvisor but with a diffrent approach. Unlike SiteAdvisor, WOT rates search results, which is a nice feature. You have an idea before you proceed to the Web site.
P.S : Dear Readers , hope you like the post , put your comments suggestion or any information I'm missing over here. You are most welcome , Have a nice Read :)
