What is a PING?
Ping is a computer network tool used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an IP network; it is also used to self test the network interface card of the computer, or as a speed test. It works by sending ICMP “echo request” packets to the target host and listening for ICMP “echo response” replies.

Petitions are coming in thin and fast in todays day of age. Getting the voice of the people for a particular cause has increased recently which is a good thing in my view. In order to get people to participate depends on a few factors. The norm is how important a certain petition is to one and then of course, how easy it is to be heard.
Dan Blake from Harkness Labs is working on Twitter-related venture, TinyPetition. This site allows twitters to take part in a petition with ease! Now what kind of expertise does Dan Blake come with you may ask? Blake has access to an existing user base of millions he could potentially draw from, as he also happens to be the guy behind this website called PetitionSpot,
With such data and knowledge in his disposal, your pretty sure that we are in for something special! So you have a campaign and need the partcipation of the people? This could be a solution!

Delirium has a brand spanking new look and feel. After deliberating on the look for the rest of the year(hopefully), i have decided to go with Imagination by the CSS Jockeys . This theme is highly customizable and scalable which influenced my decision to go with this theme. Its pretty neat and allows easy navigation. Im not a fan of a cluttered look & feel and felt that this fits the bill perfectly.
The best part is, its like a having a pro theme & its free!! And i like the tag line :
Not Just Another Word Press Theme

If not aware yet, Facebook has decided to give you a real identity istead of a no to identify yourself. How does this work? Simple , have a look at the below image :
You can decide what you want your facebook username to look like( subject to availability of course! So this was release over the weekend and some really smart people on the web decided to get creative and this is what happened :
Tim Lunsford grabbed http://www.facebook.com/wp-admin, which will make people confuse it with WordPress admin login of Facebook, if they have any.
Joan Desautels grabbed http://www.facebook.com/suggested, which could be confused with suggested facebook users and surely make a few more friends.
Sergei Polishchuk grabbed http://www.facebook.com/readme.shtml, just in case you wanted to confuse it for the facebook service terms or about pages.
Jack Foster got http://www.facebook.com/staff.aspx, which could otherwise have led you to Facebook staff and their pages.
Smart eh! So have you got yourself a username yet? If you havent, you should hurry before your left with a username which is not your 1st,2nd or even 3rd choice
