Here is a snapshot from "Geo Overlay" feature of Woopra! Its showing country-wise allocation of last few thousand visitors (dark color means less visitors and light means more).. Looks like I have got quite a few visitors from Romaina as well!!

Just waiting for new version that they are going to release by next weekend.

As I might have mentioned in my other posts as well, that I use Virtual Machines a lot!!
I love snapshot feature in Virtual Machine softwares, like Microsoft Hyper-V and VMWare Workstation! My repository goes something like this,
This entire virtual machine jungle eats up almost 80 GB of my hard drive, but I think its worth it!
Because of various environment I have to work with on every single day, Virtual Machines is the only thing that can help me. Sometimes, I wonder if there would be no Virtualization technology, how would I work!

I remember, I watched this Video first time when I was at Seattle (attending an internal Microsoft Tech. Conference) may be at that time, it was not out in public!
Its Amazing! Take a look!
I love Plaxo! I have been using Plaxo since the days when it was still in Beta (even Today, their 3rd version is still in beta! but I am talking about days when Plaxo was beta for their first version)! Plaxo has been giving me all that I wanted about my Contacts!! (According to me Plaxo was one of the first implementers of Social Networking.. way before social networking balloon really started blowing!).. As a result of my long relationship with Plaxo, I have almost 1000+ contacts in Plaxo address-book and a few hundred in Pulse. I love to visit Plaxo Pulse website to check what's up with my contacts..
But it would be really great if Plaxo comes up with a desktop application that notifies me for any of my Friend's updates.. Where, I should be able to tell that application, I want 'more' updates for X, and 'less' for Y..
Right now, they have an update RSS feed which I can use to get update about all my contacts.. I subscribe to that feed right now and keep a watch! But I know how often I can reach my RSS reader to read my feeds!! My point is about "Push" mechanism of updates instead of Pull (from user's perspective!!!).

Microsoft has already announced that they are building A PLATFORM for live mesh which will open new horizons for synchronized applications and provide a whole new user experience!
I have NO IDEA right now, what sort of platform is that going to be, but while thinking towards it, I can think of few applications!!
What do you think? Isn't Live Mesh opening up a whole new set of opportunities for Application Developers and lots of new 'Start-up' ideas?

I remember those days when I hated laptop because I hated keyboards and mouse system on Laptop! But today, I realize that I was wrong!
As a part of proving myself to be true right now, I took a yet another test from laptop (I took one previously from my desktop machine and results are here) and guess what, I could get the same typing speed (rather somewhat more!
A picture is worth thousand words!
If you want to try, go ahead,

This is obvious question. Any software/system which is Good, should make a person more productive, should save time/energy/money!
I just read a blog post on Angus' blog (who is Sr. Product Manager at Microsoft) about this, take a look..

I have heard this question from many people. How can you invite somebody to Live Mesh?
Its the simplest task on the earth, believe me! All you have to do is Share a folder with him and he will get an invitation (if your friend is not already member of live mesh, he will get invite to become member otherwise new folder will appear on his live desktop after he accepts the invitation!)
Steps are as follows (to invite somebody to Live Mesh..)
Create a shared folder in Live Desktop
Open the folder in Live Desktop
Click on "Members" on the right hand side
Click "Add"
According to system right now, everybody has limited number of invites allocated (they are generational so, anybody who is invited directly from Microsoft gets 5 invites and when he invites somebody he gets 4 and so on!) So, when you click on Add member, you will be able to see the text there saying you have X invite left! (If you have 0 invites left and your friend is not already member of live mesh, he will not be able to get the shared folder! because he needs to get into the system somehow)
Type in their email address.
Click OK
Thats it! You are done!
Stay tuned..
Thanks to Woopra (still in beta), I am now able to exactly watch and analyze patterns for my blog visits!! Following is one of the statistics that Woopra provides,
So, as you can see in the snapshot above, It allows me to see what are daily visits for my blog and how many page views were made by those visitors! I have started using it from last 5 days and now, I know what content is mostly liked by people out there and which blog post's ranking is top most in search engines! And all these things I can see on a desktop application (they have a very good and efficient Java Desktop Client!), no need to go and watch things from Web Interface!
Woopra is really good, believe me!
Stay tuned..
