eWebBuddy gets a Facelift
eWebBuddy was launched on 1st December’2008 in a star-studded event. 
Its been almost 3 years and people who have been around the site long enough must have noticed the infrequent posts and minor tweaks in the design. Where I did try to add features and test various options all these years, I did not do any major design changes. And to be quite frank, the main reason behind this is that I never took tech blogging very seriously.

Steve Jobs resigns, hands over reins of Apple to Tim Cook
Quite a shocker to the tech world today when Steve Jobs, CEO, Apple announced his resignation from the post. He has recommended the the current COO, Tim Cook’s name as his successor. Jobs has come up with decision on medical grounds. It seems his cancer is getting worse day by day and though this man is a fighter, he is not able to keep up.
Revolution 2020 – Chetan Bhagat’s New Book
Chetan Bhagat, one of India’s most popular authors and among 100 most influential people according to TIME magazine announced his 5th Book today at 11am.
As opposed to what everyone was guessing that after Five Point Someone, One Night At Call Centre, 3 Mistakes of My Life and 2 States – the 5th book’s name will definitely have the numerical 4 (four) in it – the next book is titled – Revolution 2020 with the tagline ‘Love Corruption Ambition’.
Are you disappointed? Well, frankly I am a little. Was expecting a more interesting and creative name. I know some of you might be thinking, looking at the names of Chetan’s last 3 books, that how could I actually expect something like that. But frankly I did…
eBay India is the Most Technically Challenged E-commerce Company
Yes, you read the title of this post right. I know you might find it surprising that I am calling one of the biggest E-commerce platform of India – E-bay.in as the most technically challenged company. But this is true and I have my reasons to say this! Today when I noticed that Ebay.in is celebrating 1 million fans on their Facebook page, I simply lost my patience. My patience that I have been holding in place for the almost a year!
3 Blasts in Mumbai – Terror strikes again
Three blasts in Mumbai this evening, terror strikes again!
The pain of the mumbai terror blasts has not even subsided yet and we already have 3 more bomb blasts in Mumbai about half-n-hour ago. Shows how easily we forget and move on. Shows how we cannot ever learn from our mistakes.
New Gmail Design Launched – Try It
After just 3 days of introducing Google + (Google Plus), new social networking site, everyone is either all praise for the platform or running around asking for Invites. I had posted a sneak peek to all the new features and user interface changes in Google Plus yesterday but today is about Gmail.
Sneak-peek into Google’s new Social Networking Site – Google+ project
With Facebook’s growing domination in the social networking space, Google’s Orkut lost the race long back. The orkut team came up with new UI’s and quite a few upgrades but couldn’t get back their charm. For the past one year there has been NEWS(read as rumors) that Google has been working on creating an entirely new platform to combat Facebook’s popularity. A e-mail last evening confirmed those rumors to be true.
How to add Google +1 share button to your website or blog – Buddy Tuts
It’s been only a few hours since Google released its relatively new feature +1 (plus one) for the entire web. Where most people are calling it an answer to the Facebook LIKE button but whether Google will be able to beat Facebook in this war is a question we will leave it for the future.
As of now what matters most is how you can add a Google +1 button to your blog/website. And its pretty simple actually, you just need 2 lines of code. Yes, it does require you to dig into your website code and make some changes but its quite a straight forward job.
First paste the below code right before your closing body tag which looks like </body>
<!– Place this tag in your head or just before your close body tag –>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js”></script>
After this is done all you have to do is paste the below code wherever you would like the +1 button to be displayed.
<!– Place this tag where you want the +1 button to render –>
<g:plusone size=”small”></g:plusone>
That’s it. You are done. Now this will help you generate a lot of new traffic and help promoting your website better. Though the best way is still the hard way but this will surely add a little to your daily traffic quota.
There are 4 different sizes of buttons that you can use. You can create the same by clicking on this link. Google has already integrated +1 in its host of servcies like YouTube, Reader, Search, Profile, etc. Sites like Mashable, RottenTomatoes, Bloomberg have already integrated the button as well.
