Google guru

December 19th, 2009 Vinay No comments

Hey Skill-guru users , do you know Google is coming out with Google guru ? Is this same as  yahoo answers ?

May be not because google had earlier this service called google answers which was not very successful.  We are seeing this version in Thailand Thailand Google Guru . We will wait for this to be rolled out in US in English.

For eg if you are Oracle Trainer , you can create a test on Oracle Certification or quiz on new features of Oracle 11. Your tests links are also published through the skill-guru blog.

The users reach to the test through various social networks , twitter , digg and search engines

This is a very targeted form of advertising where in you are reaching to customers who really are interested in the services you have to offer.

How much does it cost ?

Nothing. This is absolutely FREE for now.

Saving state if connection breaks

August 30th, 2009 Vinay No comments

One of the users had complained that in skill-guru, if he was taking a test and he could not complete the test for some reason , let us say the internet connection breaks, he had to re start from the begining.

We had not thought of this feature but we could understand the frustration of the user hence we implemented this feature.

How this works : If a user is taking a test on skill-guru and he closes the browser or connection or switches of machine, he can resume the test once he logs back in. But he has to use the same machine and browser because we are saving the state in cookies.

This is a solution to help out the user from unforeseen circumstances.

This feature has been implemented from  26 August 2009.

Facebook or Twitter

August 29th, 2009 wali No comments
Facebook along with MySpace have been the leaders in social networking portals. Facebook however is trying hard to bridge the gap between them and fame of twitter.

Recent developments in Facebook were paradigm shift to their original approach, they revamped their presentation and this time they concentrated more on status messages just like twitter but little more powerful. Twitter, however has been a micro-messaging tool which became popular cuz of its simplicity and yet being powerful. This internet evolution has become one of the most significant modern trends since it has affected the way in which we do business and communicate with peers.

In last week news Facebook has launched a twitter-app, where in Facebook user can automatically syndicate their posts to Twitter, read more here. When Facebook made an attempt to acquire Twitter, and failed there was a rumor in market that Facebook will take different route to go the Tweet Way. Let’s see how much they will succeed.
