securityThe increase of social networks in the world like Facebook or Myspace was, at the beginning of success, unverifiable. Now we can stand back and see the bad effects of these world networks. Some private information that is disclosed is not really protected. When we know that members of Facebook are estimated to be 45 millions in 2007, we can suppose the stake is sizable. More than 2 billion pictures are available on it.

A lot of young people are regular members and aren’t aware of the possible danger. Some rules need to be edited and respected for the security of all users.

That’s why the European Union tries to create a legal framework. The goal is to avoid use of some private information like: “prohibits collection of personal information without consumers’ permission, forbids employers to read workers’ private e-mail, and doesn’t allow companies to share personal information on users without their permission.” Facebook is a big mine of information for sellers.

This initiative is a good beginning but terms of the chart are always vague and offer a lot of provision for flaws. It isn’t sure that users will be protected any better for the moment. However Facebook, MySpace and the like have to take interest to take notice this and regulate failures of their system.

So be careful, your life could be interesting to people other than just your friends, and that is not always a good thing.

“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”anova

Knowledge management is not the latest trendy business idea. It’s a concept that has been used for the past several years by a variety of organizations in both the public and private sectors.

They can share knowledge with people from the four corners of the world and encourage free flow of ideas on any subject.

Today’s young generation is also keen on sharing their knowledge with their friends, family and others. They need a clear-cut medium to share their knowledge without any distractions. Knowledge sharing scripts help them achieve this easily by launching an answering site.

It’s our job to meet the requirements of our customers so we have developed a powerful knowledge sharing script, we call Anova. One thing, which makes us happy, is that our answering script has hit a century in the sales list within a fairly short period of time. It enthuses our Anova team to add many essential features to increase the sales list and hit more centuries in future.

rayzzWe are happy to announce that our hot product Rayzz has proved it again by hitting 1500 in the sales scale. It is not a surprise, it deserves it. It promises a more comprehensive social networking site that facilitates users to share audio, photos and articles apart from videos for all clients.

Agriya, a Chennai based web development company, launched its very first product, Rayzz in 2006. Those were the days when online videos started ruling the web and YouTube was at its peak, although it continues to retain its position. Owing to the popularity of YouTube, many YouTube clones sprung up in the market. Rayzz was one among them.

The R&D department at Agriya analyzed the market and found that community sites like Facebook, MySpace were also popular among the net surfers. So they decided to incorporate networking features in Rayzz for giving a unique status to it in the YouTube clone script list.

It doesn’t stop with that; a lot more add-on modules were developed to help clients add value to their site. Rayzz comes with the advanced templating engine that enables even the most novice users to customize their site. In addition, affordable templates that are compatible with Rayzz are also available so that users can give a desired look to their site in a few minutes.

From the day of launch, we have constantly updated Rayzz according to the feedbacks and comments from our clients and released many versions. The latest released version is 2.3.9. The extending service of Agriya even after sales, technical & sales support and quality of product are considered as the main reason for reaching this sales peak within three years in the tough competitive world.

One of our satisfied clients, Zak Johnson (Swat.tv) given an expression of esteem for Rayzz - “The script was awesome! It’s been live for 1 month… No Major problems so I am rolling it out to my database now! Fingers Crossed!

The guys over at Agriya are fantastic! They were helpful and still keep in touch to make sure it’s all going well, Fantastic Product and Fantastic Service!

Thanks Guys!

PS I will be back to buy some more things soon!

Be the 1501th buyer to build your own video sharing site.

investlink_layout_by_pho3nix_bfBuilding a great web service is maybe easy, but to be the best one and conserve this place is more complicated. The step could be in appearance less high but in reality the simplicity leads to a larger competition and a multiplication of those who want to try their chance in a profitable market.

To have the best and most attractive site and concept you have to follow some efficiency rules.

You have to put on the skin of your potential customers.

Your site has to progress with the mind and desire of your customers.

Each minute spent on your site tallies with a different and often more and more specific and demanding wish. The customer is the king and you are the one only responsible for your success or your failure. But each hurdle crossed on your site is a new proof of your good performance. The goal is obviously to succeed in pulling and keeping maximum people and for the longest time.

It’s at this point that you have to do something different. Your customers must want to come back to you and refer you to others as well, and this needs to be consistent.

The interaction between your site and customers is the key to your success and achievement.

You won’t just be on top of the world, but at the top of Google as well!

google-voiceDid you think that Google was already everywhere? You were wrong! After Google map, Google search and a lot of others web services, Google succeeds today in opening Google Voice, a new service to phones. In fact, Google voice already existed with the purchase of GrandCentral in 2007. Its goal was “one phone number for all your phones, for life”. However, it apparently didn’t really work.

But now Google bought one million numbers and seems to be ready to launch this new project. All the official sites of Google announce this service and propose some invitation to be the first to have a number. But be careful, this service is reserved for American people and has to be tested by a closed user group.

However, phoning by internet, what’s new? We can already use MSN or Skype for free. With Google Voice, users can unify all your routing home, office and other numbers and call abroad for amazingly cheap price (but local call has always the same price since you always use a phone network). However, thanks to a technological performance, Google succeeded in converting voicemail into text mail which can be read or heard later, whichever is useful to find information. They can transfer their call on one of the telephones. The more awaited feature however, is free SMS.

To summarize, Google Voice doesn’t propose a very new novelty but its advantage is to gather together all these features in one free service.

facebookFacebook, the most successful social network today, allows its adherents to create very different groups. However Facebook has to protect its system and that’s why some rules have to be respected.

It seems to be evident that a group like “Rogue Facebook Apps Early Warning Group” appears as a dangerous threat, even more when one knows that they spread unsafe information. But nevertheless, appearances could be misleading. Actually this group was created to warn its members about attacks happening on the social network and the risky information was divulged by mistake. But the Facebook team disabled the account of the group’s administrator. This decision appears like an unfair punishment.

The red line between knowing to attack and to protect isn’t often easy to determine.
In fact the real stake of “protecting Facebook” is not really to care for the application, but to protect the personal information and data of its numerous members who trust it and its security. We know that Facebook is not just a network of private life but also a job network. Therefore the dangers and stakes are greater.

So is it really a shame to form a group which can help adherents to be sure of their privacy and confidentiality? Having to opt between the network system’s survival and our own information, the choice should be quick!

Cyber-squatters will start registering names as soon as they become aware of a new service. While it is possible to get your name back, it will take some time and could be costly.”
