In a previous post in this blog – called “Why Twitter is for finding new friends and Facebook is for keeping-up with them” – I told you that you shouldn’t go looking for “friends” through Facebook, as you are risking your sensitive information posted to your Facebook profile with every person you add as a friend in Facebook.

But there going to be people who are requesting to add you as a friend in Facebook. You can’t tell whether they are just “collecting friends” randomly, or really intended to connect with you. Obviously you can’t – and you shouldn’t – ignore all the friend requests you are getting.

So, how to remain safe with friend requests from unknown people in Facebook? More… »

OKay, Google has officially announced it, Google Wave is going to die by the end of this year!

Google Wave was a product that Google set high expectations in users’ minds. And that very over expectings showed Google Wave it’s way to grave.

I was so fascinated about Google Wave after watching that two-and-half hours long video about Google Wave at Google I/O 2009! More… »

I really love the concept of repository based software management used in Linux, rather than the “Download the installer, double click, next, next, next, finish” method of Windows (I’ve never used MacOS!). But this repository based software management methods too has some points that disappoint me. More… »

“OpenID” is a service that allows people to login to various web sites, without providing email address and password each time. When the user pointed a website to his OpenID, that site can grab the required – and allowed – information from the users’s OpenID. Therefore, OpenID can be identified as a “Online Identity Card” of a person or a particular personality (One can have several personalities online, thus several OpenIDs). More… »

OpenID යනු විවිධ වෙබ් අඩවි වල පරිශීලක ගිණුම් සඳහා ලියාපදිංචි වීමේදී ඒ සෑම අඩවියක් සඳහාම තමන්ගේ නම, ඊමේල් ලිපිනය, උපන්දිනය ආදිය සඳහන් කිරීමට නොවෙහෙසී, එම සියලු දත්ත එක් ස්ථානයක තැන්පත් කොට, යම් අඩවියක් තොරතුරු ඉල්ලා සිටින විට අදාළ තැන්පත් කළ ස්ථානය දක්වා එතැනින් තොරතුරු ලබා ගැනීමට තොරතුරු ඉල්ලා සිටින වෙබ් අඩවියට ඉඩ ලබාදීමට හැකියාව ලබාදෙන සේවාවකි. එනම්, OpenID යනු අන්තර්ජාල භාවිතයේදී අයෙකුගේ හැඳුනුම් පතක් ලෙස ක්‍රියා කරනා දෙයකි.
