I follow him. Does He follows me too ? : Twitter
Posted by: ipsita mishra on: October 29, 2009
Hi Friends,
This is a short and sweet post about how to know if someone follows you, whom you are following on Twitter. When you visit someone’s twitter profile it just says about if you are following him or not. There is no information displayed about if that person is also following you ! (Correct me if I am wrong)
It’s difficult to remember all the Avtars or names, when your network grows into hundreds. People in our list are not always people we know personally.
So, here I am going to tell you how to know if someone follows you whom you are following!
This afternoon I discovered this cool website called “Friends or Follow” . Give your usernmae and it will show you segregated data in three tabs. It shows Avtars in grid view, so very easy to get a quick glance of the list.
Tab 1. Following: People you follow who don’t return the favor.
Tab 2. Fans: Your Fans. 
They follow you but you don’t.
Tab 3. Friends: People with whom you share two way communication. You both like each other to follow.
Isn’t it cool ??
This was for your own twitter network. Now if you want to know if BarackObama follows algore or not, then use this Does Follow tool.
Hope this information will help my site visitors.
Have nice time.

The number of Twitter applications created by third-party developers has grown into thousands. The Twitter API has been used in many ways to serve different needs for different community of people.
Advertising on Twitter is an emerging trend. Businesses have formed around selling advertising space on Twitter members’ profile pages.
The Twittad network connects Tweeterers with the Advertisers. Since Twitter happens to be widely used tool these days and large number of people over the globe spending time over twittering, it’s been a good platform for the Advertisers to showcase themself on popular Twitter profile pages.
Now you may think, on what basis one chooses a profile for his piece of Advertisement!! It depends on what you they are advertising.
A twitter profile becomes more worthy with the growing number of followers and the statistics of updates and relevance of posts. You can see a list of Twitter Profiles and their prices on this page https://www.twittad.com/index.php?task=searchProfile

Drupal Vs. Joomla
Posted by: ipsita mishra on: July 5, 2009
This is a debate that we often come across in Developer community. I recently started using Joomla, to see what goodies it have. I am primarily a Drupal developer and no doubt I love Drupal above other open source CMSes.
Some of my own findings, as much as I know Joomla by now are
# The installation process in Drupal is flawless, as compared to Joomla.(my personal opinion )
# Multi-site installation support is missing in Joomla
# Joomla supports Mysql only
# Single-sign on for multiple Joomla sites, not possible.
# Clean URL support not available out of the box (bad for SEO)
# For social networking and membership driven sites Drupal is better. Drupal has more granular access control system. The Organic Group module in Drupal adds great possibility to a community driven site.
Just now I came across an interesting post, a survey on the same topic, which seems interesting. The survey is done by Adam Zabzdyr( Webology eBusiness Solutions). In the survey, they have included many aspects of these two CMSes. They have interviewed both Joomla and Drupal users, administrators, Managers and Developers. They even included average budgets of these CMSes and Client satisfaction.
See the 54 page long survey statistics in this PDF file.
But the missing thing is that, they haven’t mentioned a clear cut result on who wins the race !!
