Is Facebook giving you any worth(Profit)?, No? but Zurker will!!


Facebook continues to be the dominant social network globally. It is now a colossal corporation worth $82 billion (Rs. 410000 Cr, no less!), offices in 15 countries, and more than 2,000 employees. This year there have been two major challenges to Facebook, the first being Google+ introduced on June 28, 2011, and now Zurker. While many observers noted similarities between Google+ and Facebook as well as Google+ and Twitter, Zurker is quite unique. Zurk Means “I appreciate the fact that you have shared the information”.



The first interesting thing about upstart Zurker is that it is being rolled out by country, and Zurker India is one of the first countries to be available (the others are the US, the UK, and the Philippines). However, members in Zurker India can still connect with members in Zurker US and vice versa.


The other, perhaps more important, difference is that “Zurker is owned by the members who are using it“. The founders who prefer to refer to themselves as custodians of this project, have designed the system so that members can own a type of equity in this project, called “V-shares.” The custodians are quick to point out that V-shares are not real shares, for legal reasons, but can and will become real shares when Zurker is incorporated.


Every member has a chance to own part of the network, so it’s almost like being best friends with the founders. Ironically, when you sign up with MySpace, the founder of that network Tom Anderson automatically becomes “friends” with every new member, but of course MySpace remained in the ownership of Tom and Chris DeWolf until they sold it to News Corporation for $580 million (Rs. 2900 Cr) in 2005. Zurker is giving out 10 lakh V-shares on a first-come, first-served basis. New members can earn V-shares by bringing friends to Zurker. This not only helps Zurker grow making their equity more valuable, but it also means the new members have plenty of social networking opportunities on the brand-new network. It’s still in alpha testing and by the admission of the founders, “riddled with bugs and incomplete”. But if you are brave enough you can be one of the first users to sign up from India during alpha testing. It’s by invitation only so here is the invitation link from my account.

Registration is open by invitation only!!

How to use your android phone to control computers remotely

Are you tired of providing on-site tech support for your friends and family? Providing support remotely is an easy way to help them while maintaining your sanity. If you don't have a computer nearby, but have your Android phone, you can still help. Here's how:

Computer setup

Step 1:
On the computer you want to remote control, download "TeamViewer QuickSupport" from TeamViewer. The downloaded file is named TeamViewerQS_en.exe. The program is self-contained so it does not need to be installed.

Step 2:
Double-click on the TeamViewerQS_en.exe file to launch TeamViewer on the computer you want to control.

Step 3:
At the main screen, the numeric ID of that system is listed and a numeric password for that session. Make a note of the ID and password as you'll need that information later.



Step 4:
If you're setting this up on someone else's computer, you may want to create a shortcut for them or place the file on their desktop so they can find it more easily when they need your help. Once you've connected to the computer, a small window with a session list will pop up in the lower right-hand corner.

Android setup

Step 1:
On your Android phone, install TeamViewer from the Android Market and launch it. In the first box, enter the ID of the "partner" computer. In the second box, enter the password and tap the "Connect to partner" button.


Step 2:
Once connected, you'll see gesture control instructions.


Step 3:
Close the instruction screen to see the desktop of the remote computer.

You've got control! Now you can help your in-law's figure out how to use Netflix streaming or add an RSS feed to Google Reader. You can help someone with just about anything he or she might need help with, without having to physically be there. You can use the mouse, type, print, and even reboot the remote computer.

The Android version of TeamViewer does have a few limitations, compared with the computer version. The Android version does not support local audio, text chat , video chat, or file transfers.

Gmail: How To Secure your Gmail account

Gmail
Google recently learned a lesson in security when it found that hundreds of user e-mail accounts, including ones belonging to U.S. and Chinese government officials, had been hacked.

Hackers are professionals in their field who prey on unknowing (and sometimes even tech-savvy) individuals. With the rise in hacks recently, it's time to check to see if your Gmail account is secure.

Below you'll find five best practices for securing your Gmail account. Each one is free, built into Gmail, and easily configured.

1: Enable two-step verification

All that hackers need to access your Google account (including YouTube, Gmail, and Blogger) is your password, which they can acquire with a phishing scam or when you accidentally expose your password. To address this issue, Google now offers two-step verification, in which Google will send you an SMS with a special code that you enter as the second part of the log-in process.

2: Be a password strategist

When choosing a password, there are two things you should be doing. First, choose a password that is unique to your Gmail account--don't use it for any other service. Once you've chosen a password, head to Password Meter to check its strength.

3: Enable HTTPS security

If you access Gmail over an unsecured network--as at a cafe, library, or shop--you instantly become vulnerable to hackers. Make sure you're browsing public Wi-Fi safely, and that you're using Gmail with HTTPS security. To enable HTTPS, sign in to Gmail and go to Mail settings (upper right) > General. Set "Browser Connection" to "Always use HTTPS."

4: Update your backups

Sign in to Gmail and head to Account settings (upper right) > Accounts and Import > Change password recovery options. Here, you can add an e-mail address, a phone number, and a security question you can use to recover your account if a hacker changes your password.

5: Check account activity

It could be that a hacker (or an ex-girlfriend) is accessing your account without your knowledge. To check, sign in to your Gmail account and go to the bottom of the page. You'll see a line that says "Last account activity..." At the end of this line, click "Details" and you'll see when, how, and where your account is being used. If you suspect any unkosher activity, immediately change your password and security questions, and enable two-step verification.
