Rediff Unlimited

Gmail has got almost 2.8 GB,Yahoo has got a GB,Lycos offers unlimited size attachments....What can rediff mail do to hold its existence in the market?? So far Reddiff has been showing itself as mail service loading at lightning speeds compared to some Hooha mail [We know its Yahoo!] in the commercials which doesnt look to attract the users.I myself signed up on Rediffmail and forgot the password as I didnt find it good to use.When Gmail arrived I forgot about other mail services.So Rediff has came up with unlimited storage to attract the users.

Techshout reports that Rediff.com India Ltd. announced that it has incorporated unlimited storage space on its email service Rediffmail. The announcement was made on a boat that took all present at the event for a ride in the Arabian Sea, off Gateway of India and the banners and balloons with the announcement were let loose.

“Rediff’s offering of unlimited storage space enables users to store unlimited photos, music files, videos without worrying about deleting mails from inbox. Advanced search in Rediff mail enables users to manage unlimited storage space effectively and help retrieve relevant content as and when required. With unlimited storage space and non closure of ids, SMEs and Individuals need not use multiple email ids, Rediffmail id can become their permanent id”

But I dont think that a normal email user who has a 3 GB space will go for unlimited storage because 3 GB is more than enough for emails with the Gmail's algorithm increasing the mailbox space at a constant rate and if you are that great user of email,its damn hard to tell everyone about your new mail adress.Lol Rediff

No more antiism online

A Indian Express article says "Anti-Shivaji forums or anti-Ambedkar postings or “hate India” campaigns on Google’s social networking site, Orkut, have been confounding authorities for quite some time now. Other than blocking the objectionable forums, the Mumbai Police could do little, except wait for the next one to pop up on the web, say, a “fan club” of wanted underworld dons.But not any more. The Mumbai Police is finally equipped to track down such offenders and bring them to book. A single e-mail between the DCP in charge of the Enforcement Branch and the California-based company will now nail such persons."
Apart from this the police will now be tracking out the posts in blogs also who talk about hating the country,religions and anything that's gonna effect the feelings of people.This is not something that will effect the freedom of bloggers and social media people.Communities like hate India which has 904 members on Orkut will hurt the feelings of the people and might send wrong signals.The move of the police is to be appreciated as it might help finding these kind of jerk's who don't have courage to show up in public and try to mask themselves online.

The likes of a digger

Lots of webmasters write a lot of content but only some of them will be able to make it to the frontpage of Digg.People are never able to understand the reason.People end up without getting diggs in the end.So I searched a bit on this question and came to some conclusions which are stated below:

Title taps the readers : Your title is the first thing any digger will see.So come up with title that show some kind of benefit to the digger.Diggers love to see fastest solution of their problems.They like answers which are are straight to the point.

Create controversary: Talk controversially on famous topics.Find the odds in famous things.Diggers like to discuss rather than reading your conclusions

All about Digg: Diggers like to talk about Digg.Talk about famous personalities in Digg like kevin Rose.Talking on these people means bonus diggs.Talk about the odd of digg..Some will defend the odds leading to a discussion and more diggs.

Statistics : Never forget to publish statistics of the views you presented.Sometimes fake statistics can help you get some diggs.Maybe people may find the fakeness when you make it to the frontpage.Don't be too personal in the views.

Fire of Firefox : Firefox fire is also spread inside digg.Firefox posts makes to the frontpage most of the time.Talk about the tweaks,plugins and extensions.None of these are useless inside Digg

Lets hate Microsoft : Repeat as many times as you can " Microsoft sucks,Microsoft sucks".Digger's love this.They don't care whether their chairman is the richest person in the world or whether he donated money for charity.Its just that Digg geeks hate MS.Posts that hate Microsoft make to the front page most of the times.

Friends : Make friends on the Digg network.More chances are there to go to frontpage if you are dugg by a good digger.Make atleast 15 friends on the Digg.If you can get 50 diggs you can make it the front page easily.So these 15 friends might hold the key.You digg them and they digg you.

Insult others : Never hesistate to tell a odd of someone or some group.You should impress your reader by using efffective language against the groups.Show some courage webmaster.

Tasty Apple: Apple works like anything on the Digg.Last year stories about Apple made it to frontpage 1255 times on Digg.People love rumours,Gossibs and news about Steve Jobs

I think these things might help you getting some extra diggs.If you have any other good tip don't forget to leave it as a comment.If you like the post subscribe here or click here to get email updates.

How to overcome blogger's block

Are you a blogger who post frequently ??? Is it like that if you don't post ,you don't get visitors ??? If it's so You need a new content to write on your blog everyday.Most of the times you don't get ideas on which you can write something.If this is for a day or two then its ok.But if it lasts for a week so ,then it should be taken care of.The condition which I mentioned above can mostly be treated of as Writer's block.If you don't overcome this situation,you might loose your regular readers.

Here by I'm giving some tips to my blogger friends to avoid this writer's block :

Save in your notebook or journal : Many a times,I get ideas when I'm offline or when I go out.I makeup my mind to write on that thing when I reach home.But I cant remember the topic when I reach home.To avoid this kinda situations jot down the name of the topic or title in a notebook or a small diary.Always keep it with you to prevent loss of ideas.

Read related blog's : If you have no ideas or information to share for the day,Just have a glance on other related blogs and websites.If you find anything interesting there,find more info about it and write a article in your own style.

Scheduled writing : Follow a particular schedule for blogging.Set time for everything like writing articles,editing your blog templates and all.Dont sit all the time infront of your PC. That reduces your thinking capacity and makes you numb.Do some activities to keep yourself fresh.

Answer questions : Try to find questions which most people like to ask on other sites like Yahoo Answers and write a solution for it.This brings you a lot of visitors.

Enhance you workplace : Have a pleasant workplace ,so that you can think better.Have a nice scenic wallpaper infront of your table so that your mind gain some pleasantness

Climb the ladder: If you have just a single point,don't ignore it.Start writing with that single point and your thoughts will make you climb the ladder.

News : News are always there available on the net from different sources.Keep a view on them and if you find some news interesting just search information about the things inside the news and post about it.

I hope these tips might help you overcome the writer's block
