This is an exciting feature you will love:Google Social Search.
This is right now experimental, and what it means is that when you make a search in Google, you get stuff from people you know (at the bottom of your search results). You also have the choice of looking only at your friends' stuff by clicking "Social" after "Show Options".
You can read more about this at the link you find at the top of this post.
Now, I am enclosing a poll form here- I do this only because I want to give you the option of making your comment right from where you are reading this- if you are reading this as a feed via Google Reader, it okay, just click the box and make your comment (sorry, it becomes public only after three days- but you can view the comments made in this box here at Google Docs.)
More importantly the embedded form takes more time to open in the blog.
ReplyDeleteV Belong Here with that header and the original thoughts is the forefather of this blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks balajhi and kartikey for commenting on this-
ReplyDelete@balajhi- I understand your point about forms and comments. I can see that it will not work. If I had any technical knowledge about this, I might be able to tweak it so that what you fill in the form appears immediately as comment or gets posted into the body of the post itself. This is just an experiment.
What excites me into doing this is that, suppose you read it through Google Reader, you can click into the form and make a comment without coming into the blog to do that.
You know that I am an advocate of RSS feed readers- I want something that works this way.
As for your second comment,if you read this blog through reader, it takes no moment at all. The loading of the form is immediate- you don't even notice it.
@Kartikey- I am sorry to be doing this, but the more I read, the more I understand that I am opinionated: when I started blogging, I was new to broadband, my knowledge was limited, so I thought what I had to say was important, and mattered. But now I see that there are thousands of people doing a great job, and they are unpublished, and to tell you the truth, I feel I should shut up.
Any way, I hope to come up with some original content that is not opinionated and self-important.
Comments from you and balajhi, and others, are the only way I can know whether what I am doing is worth anything or not.
Regards,
