The revolution of news media that has India in a swirl of free flow of information can be rightly said to have been triggered by Zee News.

That spirit continues to this day as Zee News brings you balanced news, informed views, a healthy mix of social issues and hot interviews. You can catch all the action and more with our presentation of videos here or on www.zeenews.com.

keepass.info - easy-to-use password manager

2008-05-25T01:24:00.001-07:00

What is KeePass?
Today you need to remember many passwords. You need a password for the Windows network logon, your e-mail account, your homepage's ftp password, online passwords (like CodeProject member account), etc. etc. etc. The list is endless. Also, you should use different passwords for each account. Because if you use only one password everywhere and someone gets this password you have a problem... A serious problem. The thief would have access to your e-mail account, homepage, etc. Unimaginable.

KeePass is a free/open-source password manager or safe which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key-disk. So you only have to remember one single master password or insert the key-disk to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish).

Is it really free?
Yes, KeePass is really free, and more than that: it is open-source (OSI certified). You can have a look at its full source and for example check if the encryption algorithms are implemented correctly.

Gmail Trick

2008-05-24T07:34:00.001-07:00

Let’s say that your email address is ‘GeorgeBush@gmail.com’, basically everything sent to any of the following email addresses will be forwarded to your primary email.

…
…

GeorgeBus.h@gmail.com

…
…

GeorgeBus.h@googlemail.com

And that’s not all, you can place as many dots as you want, it can be even something like ‘G.e.o.r.g.e.B.u.s.h@gmail.com’ and you’ll still get it on ‘GeorgeBush@gmail.com’

Additionally, I just also found out that you can embed random text to your email ID using ‘+’ sign. That is to say ‘GeorgeBush+anythingyouwant@gmail.com’ can be used as your email address, as well.

Ok I got it. Now what ?

1. One email for every purpose

Instead of using different email addresses for various purposes (work, school, friends, etc.) you can use different variations of your Gmail and filter incoming mails by ’sent to’ address. For instance, all incoming mail sent to ‘Name.Surname@gmail.com’ can be put to folder ‘work’, messages sent to ‘NameSurname@gmail.com’ can be put to ‘friends’, ‘N.ameSurname@gmail.com’ can be used for newsletters, and so on.

2. Track/Block spammers

When signing up for some website, say thatwebsite.com, you can add thatwebsite to your Gmail user ID (eg. GeorgeBush+thatwebsite@gmail.com). This way you can block your subscription whenever you want and even identify those websites that distribute your email address to spammers.

Find out who gives away your email address with Gmail trick

2008-05-24T06:54:00.001-07:00

When you give your email address to a website, you hope that they don't sell or trade your address to a bunch of spammers. Well if they do, here is a simple way to see what sites are responsible for what particular piece of email. This requires you have a Gmail account.

If your Gmail login name was username@gmail.com and you went to samplesite.com to fill out a registration form, instead of just entering username@gmail.com as your email, enter it as username+samplesitecom@gmail.com instead. When Gmail sees a "+" in an email address, it uses all the characters to the left of the plus sign to know who to send it to. In this example it would still send it to username@gmail.com.

Now whats cool is if you search Gmail for username+samplesitecom, you will see all massages that were sent to that email address.

To see who is responsible for sending a specific message click the Show Details link and you will see the complete address.

Third-party ads now available on the Google content network

2008-05-22T11:07:00.001-07:00

Greetings from Google!

We're happy to announce that the Google content network now
accepts display ads served from qualified third-party vendors.
During this initial release, only ads in English are eligible,
although we look forward to offering more options in the future.

By accepting third-party ads, we can attract a greater variety of
advertising on the Google content network, which we believe will
result over time in increased revenue for publishers and more
relevant advertising for end users.

If you're currently opted in to image ads, you're already able to
receive third-party ads. If not, you can enable image ads to start
receiving third-party ads immediately. (Learn how to enable image
ads at
https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=9741.)

If you choose to allow third-party ads on your site, please update
your privacy policy to inform your visitors that third-party
vendors may serve ads on your site. Please also provide links to
these vendor websites and inform your users that they may opt out
of cookies (if the vendor offers this capability). For more
information about updating your policies, visit
https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=94150.

You'll continue to have full control over which ads appear on your
site with tools like competitive ad filtering and the Ad Review
Center. Also, only advertisers with whom we have proven
relationships and who've clearly demonstrated commitments to our
quality standards may participate in this program. Our policies
governing ad content and formatting remain unchanged.

To learn more about third-party ads, please visit our blog post at
http://adsense.blogspot.com/2008/05/introducing-third-party-ads-on-google.html
and our FAQ at

Meebo.com - instant messaging

2008-05-19T23:47:00.000-07:00

Meebo.com

What is it?

Meebo lets you use multiple instant messaging platforms from an online application. This means you can use your favorite instant messaging program from a public computer or on a mobile phone.

Difference from other applications

Meebo has all the features you would expect but on top of that they have one unique function. Meebo automatically saves all your message history. So when you log in after a week you can still check your old conversations. This really sets it apart from the other applications.

Look and feel

Meebo uses separate popup windows for chats. This makes it easy to have one very active chat and another couple of less active ones. But all chats will close if you close their website. This forces you to deal with the clutter of managing a lot of chat and website windows.

Registration process

If you just want to use a single instant messenger platform you do not need to register with Meebo, you can just use the login information of that platform. If you want to see contacts from multiple platforms in one window, you need to get a Meebo id. You need to enter your age, gender and email address. The email address is not checked.

Pricing

Meebo will be supported by advertising in the future but currently the website is ad free.

Meebo features

Support for the MSN, AIM, Yahoo, Google Talk, Jabber and ICQ platforms.
Group chat through Meebo Rooms
File transfers
Meebo repeater software to access the Meebo service when www.meebo.com is blocked
Invisible sign on
History preservation
Firefox add-on
