And, guess what, Twitter is also the target. Here [...]

From today, the notion of real time web is not longer a myth! This idea, the idea of searching the web in real time, was almost unimaginable. Although web spiders (like the GoogleBot), spiders that crawl the web and index web pages at amazing speeds, are a thing of the present, the concept of real time web is still not understood as it should. Well, because of our bellowed Twitter, things are not in [...]

It is now a powerful browser-based communications platform. This platform is rivaling some very large tools built by corporations or venture-backed start-ups.  A very good result, I might add! As things and trends [...]

Image by De’Nick’nise via Flickr A few months ago, my laptop started to behave strange. It did not start properly and, even if it would start, it was very slow and crashed frequently. My resolution was always the smallest available. In a word, my laptop broke down. I think it was the motherboard. I have used it for quite some years and I felt bad about it. But what could I do?
