Hashtags on Facebook, Need an Improvement to be Effective

Many of you have noticed #Hashtags on Facebook has come. It is very useful when your post is public. When people search for that hashtags then they may discover your post. This will help in popularity and reach of your post. This is what you wanted when you make your post public!  The hashtags on Facebook do the same what it does on Twitter.

Currently, Facebook has not provided Hashtag search using language. So, if I search for say, PHP hashtag, then results in all language related to PHP which is marked using #PHP hashtags will come as result. This cannot work as expected for many. We do not know all languages of the world.

Found an Important page in Google Search but the Web Site is Down!

Here is an idea of how to get a web page when the site is down. The page shall be available every time. For very new site and not a popular page this method may not work. It may have happened that the web site that hosted a page you want to visit after searching in search engine is down! And if you ware looking for an important topic and not finding that topic then you thought of why this time this site is down. In shared hosting this may happen more frequently than in dedicated hosting. But finding Website down for few minutes is one possibility that can happen anytime.

When I look for a web page and found the website down then I go to Google and ask for that page. Google cache every pages it find important. So, just press back button on browser and reach to the same search result and press on Cache link visible after each search result and your content is ready. If you like to visit other pages of same site then you can use this search operator: site:website.com.


Also, try this with search term. Suppose I want to search for PHP on satya-weblog.com.
Try:
site:satya-weblog.com php

Indiatimes Free SMS Service - 10 SMS per day

I received information that you have not logged into your Indiatimes account from past six month and you email account's email before six months will be purged. I am not using this account so it does not matter to me but still thought to have a look there. I have not found anything useful there but got a feature that I can send 10 free SMSs per day. I believe that Indiatimes will not sell my and recipient's mobile number to anyone, so I think it is a good service to use. Though I do not tempt to use these kind of service due to fear of spam and laziness etc. and other thing is that I rarely use SMS service. I have used indyaRock free SMS service 4-5 times.
