			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just observed this today.</p>
<p>The page title is being changed to<strong> Tuts+ (sairam) on Twitter</strong> instead of <strong>Tuts+(tutsplus) on Twitter</strong> . This was not the case earlier . See a sample <a rel="none" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2511/3781973881_82b6561798_b.jpg">twitter  screenshot</a> . The source html is normal, looks like the title  changes after the page load is completed.</p>
<blockquote><p>&lt;title id=&#8221;page_title&#8221;&gt;Tuts+ (tutsplus) on Twitter&lt;/title&gt;</p></blockquote>
<p>My username is being shown on the title of the screen when viewing other twitter profiles which really annoying and is degrading the user experience. I have tested this on Firefox and Safari. This shows up only when a user is logged in. Screenshots attached.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>- What is this blog <a rel="none" href="http://blog.sair.am/archives/2010/05/why-use-dropbox/">post</a> about ? Why the questions ?<br />
&#8211; This blog post is about <a rel="none" href="http://bit.ly/52eLLT">Dropbox</a> which is a very helpful desktop/mobile application that every individual would prefer to have . This solves one of the problems of an individual who are using a combination of both computers and smart phones. I wanted to show the positives and negatives of a software application in the form of a Q&amp;A.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-5187" href="http://blog.sair.am/archives/2010/05/why-use-dropbox/dropbox_logo_home/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5187" title="Dropbox Logo" src="http://blog.sair.am/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/dropbox_logo_home.png" alt="" width="290" height="75" /></a></p>
<p>- What is <a rel="none" href="http://bit.ly/52eLLT" target="_blank">Dropbox</a> ?<br />
&#8211; <a rel="none" href="http://bit.ly/52eLLT" target="_blank">Dropbox</a> is a storage solution to let you keep all your files in all your computers in sync. You can get upto 10.25 Gigs as a free user.</p>
<p>- Does <a rel="none" href="http://bit.ly/52eLLT" target="_blank">Dropbox</a> work on both <a rel="none" href="http://www.apple.com/mac/" target="_blank">Mac</a>, <a rel="none" href="http://www.linux.org/" target="_blank">Linux</a> and <a rel="none" href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/" target="_blank">iPhone</a> ?<br />
&#8211; It has a client written for almost all major OSes in the market and even has mobile devices clients for devices including <a rel="none" href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/" target="_blank">iPhone</a> and <a rel="none" href="http://www.android.com/" target="_blank">Android</a>.</p>
<p>- What all can I store in <a rel="none" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/52eLLT">Dropbox</a> ?<br />
&#8211; You can keep anything you want MAXing to 5 Gigs(<a rel="none" target="_blank" href="http://aws.amazon.com/s3/#functionality">s3</a> is the backend of Dropbox).Yes, all your private data can go in. It is secure as long as your password has not been compromised or <a rel="none" href="http://bit.ly/52eLLT" target="_blank">Dropbox</a>&#8217;s <a rel="none" target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2F&#038;tag=sairamkunala-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957">Amazon</a><img src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=sairamkunala-20&#038;l=ur2&#038;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> S3 account.</p>
<p>- How much data can you I keep in <a rel="none" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/52eLLT"">Dropbox</a> ?<br />
&#8211; Assuming you have enough bandwidth to sync 100Gigs in less than an hour at your home. <a rel="none" href="http://bit.ly/52eLLT" target="_blank">Dropbox</a> offers plans for 100Gigs for $20 per month,  50Gigs for $10 and 2Gigs for FREE . <a rel="none" href="http://bit.ly/52eLLT">Referrals</a> get you more space. Nothing extra for syncing even if it is 10 or 100 computers you own.</p>
<p>- I like it already . How do I get an account in <a rel="none" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/52eLLT">Dropbox</a> ?<br />
&#8211; Follow this <a rel="none" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/52eLLT">link</a> . In case you are not still convinced with <a rel="none" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/52eLLT">dropbox</a> . Continue reading the Q&amp;A.</p>
<p>- Are there any other services alternate to <a rel="none" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/52eLLT">dropbox</a> ?<br />
&#8211; Yes, <a rel="none" href="http://www.jungledisk.com/" target="_blank">JungleDisk</a> (competitive pricing but cost varies according to the no. of computers you have and it does not offer free accounts) , <a rel="none" href="http://www.apple.com/mobileme/" target="_blank">MobileMe</a> is trying to catch up (their <a rel="none" href="http://www.apple.com/mobileme/pricing/" target="_blank">pricing</a> is way off the charts) and couple of others.</p>
<p>- How can I get more space ? You said that I can get upto 10 Gigs &#8211; How ?<br />
&#8211; You will be awarded more space when you refer more users and when the complete their setup of <a rel="none" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/52eLLT">dropbox</a>, you will get your 250MB.</p>
<p>- Would I get 1000Gigs if I refer 4000 users and they complete the setup ?<br />
&#8211; Nope, There is a limit . You can get max of 8 Gigs extra off the 2.25 you initially get when you join as a free user. That&#8217;s their way of avoid misuse of the system.</p>
<p>- There is some feature missing in <a rel="none" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/52eLLT">Dropbox</a> that I see that would help lot more users . How can I suggest ?<br />
&#8211; Yes, <a rel="none" target="_blank" href="https://www.dropbox.com/votebox">Votebox</a> is the place. You get to vote on the features you would like . Your votes renew every month. </p>
<p>- How secure is <a rel="none" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/52eLLT">dropbox</a> ? Is it impossible to retain password if I lost it ?<br />
&#8211; Dropbox uses  <a rel="none" target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2F&#038;tag=sairamkunala-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957">Amazon</a><img src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=sairamkunala-20&#038;l=ur2&#038;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />&#8217;s <a rel="none" target="_blank" href="http://aws.amazon.com/s3/">s3</a> to store your data which follows <a rel="none" target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard">AES</a>-256 bit encryption which is supposedly very good. You can always retain your <a rel="none" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/52eLLT">Dropbox</a> password.</p>
<p>- <a rel="none" href="http://agilewebsolutions.com/products/1Password">1Password</a> to save all my passwords. Can I use it with <a rel="none" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/52eLLT">Dropbox</a> ?<br />
&#8211; Yes, you can save the master file in Dropbox which syncs on to the web and keeps all your passwords secure and in sync.</p>
<p>- I would like to share files with other users in private ?<br />
&#8211; Yes, it requires the user to have a dropbox account as well.</p>
<p>- How about allowing any user to share files with ?<br />
&#8211; All the files you put in the Public Folder ( Ex: <a target="_blank" href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3266534/resume/sairamkunala-resume.pdf">My Resume</a> ) are accessible to the world. You are provided with the URL using which you can share.

<p>- Where do I (<a rel="alternate" target="_blank" href="http://sair.am/">Sairam Kunala</a>) use it ?<br />
&#8211; I use dropbox to save my e-books, software, s/w licenses, personal data, misc data which I require for a month or so and backups of my buxfer, delicious, firefox profile data and bunch of other things.</p>
<p>- More questions ?<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I personally feel that timestamp is the most important tag that any post or page or comment or product page or even a normal physical paper should have. Having a timestamp help assess users if the information is still relevant which I am not sure if the present day search engines would take care of. I came across one such site today which has no timestamp in the comments section which degrades the User Experience. I have found one of the few on the internet just today. As you are curious to know the site, it&#8217;s here &#8211; <a rel="none" href="http://www.fluther.com" target="_blank">www.fluther.com</a> .<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5150" title="Why is timestamp important - www.fluther.com" src="http://blog.sair.am/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Why-is-timestamp-important-www.fluther.com_.png" alt="" width="705" height="405" /></p>
<p>The comments do not have a timestamp on them when a user commented. Atleast the timestamp on the post/question gives the user information that its more than 1 year old (relatively). </p>
