Online communities Map

Generally everyday night I used to read articles on various topics from health,sports etc and yesterday I came through a cartoon which was so different and made me how the social media have really transformed in the last few years.Just check this below picture below

The earlier version of this kind of map came in the year 2007 which was dominated by Myspace and at that time Twitter was not present.The 2010 version,majority area is occupied by Facebook and followed by Twitter which occupies a larger territory in lower half of the map.Currently there are some issues of privacy in Facebook but I feel many of the users are not bothered about it.The number of users using Facebook has been increasing everyday.

UK's Fastest Broadband from Virgin

From December in UK the speed at which you receive and transmit packets of data through Internet will be faster than 5.2 times of average broadband speed.The telecom giant Virgin will roll out it's 100Mb broadband service from December and at this speed you can able download a High Definition movie in 7 minutes and a entire music album in just 30 seconds.The registration for super fast broadband has started and the speed they are offering has really taken everyone by surprise.
CEO  of Virgin Media,Neil Berkett said: “The world of possibilities that broadband will enable is set to explode and we’re excited about the innovations we can bring to consumers in the next decade.”

The cost of the service will be 45 pounds when bought as solo product and it will be 35 pounds when bought as a bundle.With more people watching HD programmes and clips online,these packages will be very useful for them.Virgin users in UK will be more excited about this and for me it's another step for the future

Guide to buy a good headphone

A lot of things has to be taken into concern while buying a good headphone.Before getting a headphone for your mobile or music player decide on the model and consult with your friends about it.If you don't get sufficient knowledge from them there is always reviews available in the Internet.This post does not focus on any particular brand either and however the reviews are not available for all models,the fast moving ones will occupy their places in all sites related to technology.

The prices are very vital while going for a good headphone as a highly priced one may be of poor quality.Many of my friends who owns a I-pod are not satisfied with their headphones and they think there are lot of headphones in the market which are better than it.As far as I am concerned choose the headphone as per usage.If you use it daily at house alone there is no need invest too much on it and whereas in case if you use it for jogging then go for neckband type headphones as there is minimal chance of headphone wire getting damaged.

War of Playbook and I-pad

In my earlier post I had already spoken on RIM's new tablet PC before the DEVCON 2010,but the table PC was named as Playbook.The Playbook will be available in the early next year and it is loaded with features which is missing in I-pad.The features include HDMI out and cameras.Playbook has a 7 inch touch screen and a thickness of just 10mm.It also comes with a front and back facing camera for video conferencing,Wi fi and high definition playback.The Playbook will display both Adobe flash based video and HTML5 on the web.The availability,pricing and feature like battery life is yet to be known from RIM.

As Apple App store has many games,Playbook will be a hit even among the non blackberry users if games are available for it.Games do sell well and RIM can make this bold move to capture market.
