After the long and hard work Blogger has now introduced Static Pages for their blogspot users. Yes finally blogger is comes up with their most awaited feature in blogger like Wordpress. Now users can add upto 10 pages in their blog like a normal website pages. Mostly people were thinking that it�s impossible in blogspot, but blogger make them wrong. People not only add pages in their blog but also add widgets and other content on it. I personally like it that blogger is now moves to another step towards changes.

It�s quite easy to add pages in blogger blog. You just have to go on your blogger dashboard and click on edit post and then upward you will see new option of �Edit Pages�. Their you can add upto 10 more pages in your blog like about me page, contact me page, services page or any other pages you need in your blog and you can also config your pages setting according to your choice. That�s it. Don�t you think blogger is making it quite easy?

Facebook New Site Design and New Ads Format

To celebrate Facebook 6th Year. Facebook is now comes up with many new Facebook products and also a new Facebook design. Facebook has been continuously iterating on their new design with the latest version showing a new location for Facebook Chat. Over the past few weeks we have been receiving messages from users who have been part of Facebook�s ongoing user testing of the new homepage design, however this latest design has one significant change: Facebook Chat has been moved to the sidebar.


There are some fundamental issues with this design, the most significant of which is that the number of bookmarked applications displayed appears to be limited to 5 and then the user must click on �More� to see more. The new facebook design is seems to be fast and user friendly and people can change it according to their needs.

While the volume of users being tested with the new design appears to be increasing, Facebook is still clearly in the process of making ongoing adjustments. The most significant change in this latest iteration is the adjustment of the chat. Aside from that, Facebook is only making subtle adjustments at this point. You can see the difference from the last iteration in the screenshots below.

In addition to consolidating a number of links under �Settings�, Facebook is rapidly iterating on the new homepage design which is expected to launch in the next couple months.


Facebook New Ads Format

Facebook is also focusing to change its Advertisement design for a new facebook. Previously, Facebook had tested a format in which 5 advertisements were displayed on each page. With the new �Suggestions� area, the number of ads has been cut down to 3, the same number which has traditionally appeared in the sidebar. Limiting the advertising real estate seems a bit counter intuitive for a company which relies heavily on ad revenue to survive.

As I already mentioned though, perhaps Facebook has shown that the presence of �Suggestions� actually increases clicks on the advertisements. Do you like the new Facebook design? As an advertiser, are you concerned that it may decrease the performance of ads?

Google stop Gmail supporting for IE 6

Google is also thinking to cutting Gmail support for Internet Explorer 6 due to its inability to handle modern-day web technologies and latest features of websites. At that point, it was unclear which services were included in this. ComputerWorld reported that, yesterday, a Google spokesman confirmed that Gmail will be among the apps that Google will no longer support in IE6.

�We plan to stop supporting older browsers for the rest of the Google Apps suite, including Gmail, later in 2010?

While dropping IE6 is an essential step in pushing the Internet forward, Gmail�s inclusion in the list of apps could prove risky, as IE6 still controls 20.07 percent of today�s browser market. True, most Gmail users are probably savvy enough to already be using a more modern web browser, but relying on such an assumption may be a mistake. Perhaps upon visiting Gmail, Google would notify IE6 users of the need to upgrade their browsers. This would be similar to the way Facebook and YouTube have gone about it.

Microsoft is also in agreement, stating on two separate occasions that �We support this recommendation to move off Internet Explorer 6,� as well as saying that, �Microsoft has consistently recommended that consumers upgrade to the latest version of our browser.� Currently, the no-support list for Google Apps includes IE6, Firefox 2.0, Safari 2.0, and even Chrome 3.0. The inclusion of Chrome really shows how serious Google is about making the web a place of standards and security.

The Travels of a Cello Bow

DAVID FINCKEL ACQUIRES VALENTIN BERLINSKY'S CELLO BOW

How is that for the first headline after weeks of getting back together after my computer fried (lovely present from Santa)? However, it is the most fascinating story.

Berlinsky, who passed away in 2007, was the founding member of the Borodin Quartet.

He played - with this bow - at the funerals of both Stalin and Prokofiev, performed all the Shostakovich Quartets for the composer in private, and gave the first performance of the Shostakovich cycle in America. Therefore, the bow he played with is a very special instrument.

Extraordinarily, it came with its own passport. Apparently a passport is essential for musical instruments traveling in and out of Russia.

So what happened to Berlinsky's cello?

He didn't have one. In Russia, musical instruments belong to the state.
