Ramesh Koneru » Two months of Posterous Awesomeness

Two months of Posterous Awesomeness

I’ve been using Posterous for 2 months now, and I have to say it is great. Actually, it is WOW. I very much regret not coming across it earlier, as Posterous was launched much earlier in May 2008. Where was I?  :(

Anyways, I now have two cool blogs powered by Posterous:

Why Indian Media Companies fail on the Internet…

Why Indian Media Companies fail on the Internet…

I wanted to write on this topic for some time now.

However, I recently came across an article by abinash tripathy, which makes for an interesting read and provides an excellent overview of the great Indian Media companies (and why they continue to fail on the internet).

Instead of writing a new article, I will be linking you to this wonderful post, as it pretty much covers most of the points I had in mind, and much more!

Check it out….definitely worth a read!

The Browser Wars

The Browser Wars!

browsers
I’ll dive straight to the point. There are no winners or losers here.

Each browser has its share of pros and cons. You’ll need to decide depending on what platform you work on, and how extensively you use the internet. However, this is my perspective:

WINDOWS USERS

Firefox is the best option if you are an avid internet user, and if you use a lot of plugins.
- However, if you want a less bloated, simpler, safer and more stable browsing experience, try the new Chrome.
- Steer clear of Internet Explorer. You might however need it if you come across a badly designed site that won’t render properly in both Firefox and Chrome. Internet Explorer takes care of all this crap that does not adhere to web standards.

MAC USERS

Safari is the best bet, as it provides the most seamless experience on the Mac. Also use click to flash, if you want to disable the resource intensive flash plugin.
- If you need to use a number of plugins, Firefox is a better option for you. However, you’ll be compromising on performance, as Firefox eats up most of the available RAM and is known to be a resource hog.
- We’ll have to wait and see how Chrome fares when it launches for the Mac platform this month.

Verdict:

The most promising: Chrome (PC)
The most integrated: Safari (Mac)
The most extensible: Firefox (PC/Mac)

Update: Chrome for Mac was launched a couple of days ago. It rocks!

What is Twitter?

What is Twitter?

twitter

I always get this question: What is twitter, and what is all the buzz about? In a series of posts starting with this, I aim to cover a wide variety of topics featuring twitter:

- What is Twitter ?
- Why Twitter ?
- The Twitter Madness.
- Is (Twitter + Facebook) > (Google + Bing) ?
- Advertising on Twitter !
- and more

Wikipedia offers a good start: Twitter is a free micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author’s profile page and delivered to the author’s subscribers who are known as followers.

The following video is one of my favorites:
