I stumbled upon face book and it was delicious and I totally digg it but it got slashdotted

Either I am totally lost on what is happening in the Internet world or I am really totally lost. Gone were the days when Friendster was the king of social network sites. Or was it Adult Friend Finder? Others like Hi5 and Ringo and some others which I am too lazy to find out popped up here and there to spice up the already lost competition. And then we had Multiply which seemed to reign for a while until Facebook came and conquered them all just when MySpace was leading the race. And for the niche community of students, there is Yearbook. And then came along the Blogs and the Wikis and etc. I might have missed out a lot of other stuff. Hey, I'm no tech junkie, you know. Just an informant for the uninitiated who always ask me questions when they can easily get a faster and better answer on Google. Oh, unless you consider me a guru, say in the subject of the female species or sex, then please consult me. My email address is here.

Now unless you're a stranger to the internet world, (you're not alone, I am as strange as you are), you must have realized there are all these social network or social bookmark sites and blog/article submitting directories. The original one I believe that started this is Slashdot. Readers target mostly tech websites links and they post them on Slashdot and the amount of hits they to the site that gets posted is so massive that the sites literally encounter downtime or even crash. This was and is still popularly known as being Slashdotted or the Slashdot Effect. These social bookmark sites are everywhere. A quick Google Search will churn out the results. Hey, I've already given you the search link, go click on the links. Okay back to social bookmarking sites. For starters, the more common ones I can think of are StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit, Furl and Del.icio.us. Best part is, joining is FREE! Weeeee!

Yes, you read that right. Del.icio.us. So what do these sites do? Well they allow the posters to surf the internet and favourite their sites online, so that they can access it anywhere else in the end, and rate these sites and the more popular the site becomes by bookmarking it, it naturally becomes a hit and more traffic gets to that site. If most of the internet users out there in this world and Mars think that your site sucks, then it is time to go and die. No, of course not. Just ask for people on how to revive your webpage. The online or rather faceless community is pretty friendly and always there to lend a helping hand. All you have to do is put aside your ego and ask. Most of them will be willing to help you at almost or even zero cost.

Disclaimer: Subject to their availability. I am not their guardian, so don't go firing at them cause you took my word for it that you might get free help. There is no free lunch. If you're lucky, you might get lunch or dinner. That's it. Now quit whining. Bitch.

So if your site gets stumbled or digged (congratulations!), assuming you have one kick-ass site/blog unlike mine (insert heh sound here), make sure you have enough bandwidth to keep it online in case it also faces the Slashdot Effect. If you don't know what bandwidth means, it simply means that it your site get crashed and it cannot be accessed, you obviously don't have enough bandwidth. Simplest way to explain things. Then you will become an instant famous and/or infamous person online! Only for a while till the hype dies off. But who cares, your shot at becoming popular online is there, so go get your site crashed! You might even get featured on CNN/BBC! Okay, okay, so it seems that all these stuff are leaning towards Web 2.0, which I will not go through here, go and read at the given link. This is the future of the web, to what I know. I do not have access to the cosmos to know if there will be a Web 4.5 Ver 6 available but if you get any informating from God or his sidekicks, keep me posted. So move aside just friend finding networking sites, enter social networking/booking marking sites! For those who are wishing for the worse to happen to me, no, I will not get slashdotted. Thank you very much.

How to save the world - Part - III - I'm kidding, really I am

Okay, so you're all geared up to save the world now or later, right? Wrong! No, I don't mean that you don't possess the capability to save the world. I am just here to say that you don't just pack a few stuff and pretend you're some super-hero and read this post and do the whole saving the whole thing. I mean, like, what are you, an idiot? Straighten up, man! There is just so much to do. Here's what we will plan out. Hey, I mean, if you're going to save the world, you need a plan, right? So hold on to your horses and grab that pen (working one, please) and paper and let's write down those world saving pointers! Right on, mate!

Right. And you actually read all that and almost believed I didn't have the much anticipated answer? I mean, if you were actually reading this far, you were waiting for some mambo jambo or miracle, right? Well, here it goes. The way to save the world is in you. There. I've said it. Yes, in you, you dweeb. Oh, you don't get the whole in you thing, right? Just as I thought. I mean you came all the way here to find the answer to saving the world, right? I almost forgot my saviour status. So I will hold your hand and let you know what I meant by in you. Time to get a little serious here, so pick up the phone and get ready to dial your local ambulance hotline in case you're about to flip.

Okay, okay! Enough already! On with it! Sure thing, mate. You're the boss. Right. So, as I was saying, the way to save the world is in you. Literally in you. Somewhere in that amoeba or sub-atomic particle in you. No, don't cut yourself up to find out. I'm dead serious. Some people will literally take what I am saying, literally. Yes, I meant literally in you. Not physically in you. It's in the way you think. Oh no! Not another positive minded save yourself and save the world theory you scream! Dude, you're here to friggin' save the world. You clean out your friggin' thoughts and acts first! You can't go and save the world if you're a closet masturbation expert, right? I don't know what that means either but you get the point. Rest assured, I am not here to sell you some ebook for $97 or $47 and have an extra special super discount page for $7 or take a 30 day course for $997, $497 or have an extra special super discount page for the $297 one-of-a-kind-super-advanced-never-heard-before-but-was-used-by-people-
ages-ago-and-used-by-all-the-top-internet-marketing-gurus-
or-experts-kind-of-meditation with my iron,steel, metal, silver, gold or whatever metallic substance I can find 30, 60 or 90 days money back guarantee for you to get attuned in first before saving the world. (Was a really long sentence, I know.) The world doesn't have 30 days. The world only has its people. The world only has You. Touche? Yeah, I know.

Here is the your ultimate world saving plan. Approved by every known world saving guru out there on and off the internet! Heck, it's even approved by Superman! Now you have absolutely no fear of doing your part to save the world! The gist of it is simple. It's always simple, isn't it? You clean out your thoughts and acts starting from today. Yes, no secret mantras involved! No one is asking you to be a saint or hermit. Those are for guys and girls who wish to look like Himalayan monkeys and don't wish to get laid, like ever. Do a small good deed today. Like read this blog and tell someone who really deserves help. Just reading this post won't help him/her, you moron! I mean, tell them the good stuff I am writing out here. Hey, this is hard work, you know. It's not a sit down and meditate and expect the rest of the world to help you concept. You help yourself first. You be a better person from today onwards. You treat that little bitch in the park with kindness. No, not hit it on with that hot mama/milf. I meant the dog. You give your food, preferably leftovers, to your neighbour. Never mind if it is not halal if he/she is a Muslim. They usually won't eat it or give it away, anyway. It's the thought that counts. Yes, they have angels on your left and right to count your brownie points for you! Yay! How cool is that? Stop dreaming and listen up! You give that guy/girl on the streets who is faking an illness or a handicap and give him/her your last 10 dollars and pray to your favourite God, who looks much better than you by the way, that your good deed will come back to you in ten fold. Hey, karma, remember? What goes around comes around. Do not try that by throwing a knife or shooting a bullet at someone. That person will be dead and the wound or shot won't come back to you. Okay, maybe if you're a ghost lover, they might but ghosts have better things to do than to look ugly and haunt people.

At the end of 30 days like how they all like it, see how much a better person or loser you've become. If you're a better person, than good. See if you can be featured on your local TV show to advertise yourself and gain instant pop status! If you've become a loser, at least feel proud that your loss has resulted in something for the greater good. After all, it is always about the greater good. Every guru propagates that fact that you're one with the rest of the Universe. Sure you are. No really, you are. Just don't fuck it up for others cause you're only going to fuck it up for yourself. And no, I am not fucking kidding here. Now go ahead and dial that ambulance hotline and tell them that some deranged fella has given you instructions to follow but never asked you to buy anything. Or call your nearest child-loving priest or self-help line to seek further help. You've been served. Peace.

P.S. Nothing to see here. This part is usually the most noticed in any letter/post, eh? Yeap, you just proved it. Sheesh.

How to save the world - Part II - Truth

So what is the truth or rather, Truth? If everyone of us have our own variation of the Truth, what constitutes the real Truth? Perhaps, there is one such Truth that exists. At least, to me is does. One that is free from falsehood and error. We shall call it Ultimate Truth or Absolute Truth for now. We all like to label things, don't we? So where do we find this Truth? Well, we shall find out. I ask too many questions for your own good. So read on if you're interested.

Ever had one of those episodes where you're scratching your head out to resolve a long outstanding issue and there just doesn't seem to be any way to overcome it? So you spend way too much time trying to get around it and eventually you just give up and let it go. At least most of us do. For those who are mentally strong, you know where I'm headed. So you go about your usual mundane routine after some time, and one day you're dumbstruck with the most obvious (but not so obvious then) solution and you'd slap yourself silly for thinking, "Why didn't I think of that before?" So the solution had come to you. (If such a thing has never happened to you, either you're unaware of yourself or you simply refuse to believe anything that you'd deem as ridiculous or out of the ordinary or you just got to wait for your turn). But where from? Divine intervention, I'd say? So all we have to do was whenever we had a standing issue, to just let it go and wait for the solution and it will pop out at an unknown time? Seems like it does, at times, if we let it come to us. Whether we have the patience for it is another issue. We're too caught up with our current predicament to actually wait for this solution. Perhaps. We're always on the lookout for that instant solution but the solution doesn't arrive oh-so instantly. We're far too impatient to wait and just give up. Fair enough. I mean if you have a massive debt to resolve, you'd spend time worrying about it day and night and focus on that as compared to waiting for the solution to arrive, right? Come on, we're just human, you'd argue. Well, for argument's sake, yeah we are but are we really human or is there more to us?

So what does all this have to do with the Truth, Ultimate Truth or Absolute Truth? Simply put, there lies the Absolute Truth in us. Yes, right inside of us. Huh? Where? Beats me, buster. If I knew, I'd be richer than all the richest people in the world. So just know it is inside of us. In came from inside of you somewhere, right? It is this Ultimate Truth aka Divine Intervention that provides the solution to us when we're ready to accept it, as some enlightened people would say or have you believe. We'd love to disagree with that but at the same time we'd easily nod our heads to that too. Desperate times call for desperate measures. So now that we know that the solution provider is labeled as Truth, Ultimate Truth, Absolute Truth, Divine Intervention or whatever uber cool term we'd love to give it, how do we go about being in sync with so that we can solve all our problems and some day save the world? This is about saving the world, right? You mean, it is not? It is? Fine, fine, I will wait for Part III to find out more.

Disclaimer, well sort of: We're all suckers for believing someone who seems to know better than us. So we either condemn them or embrace them depending on what happens to us after we believe them and take action based on their words. Take the initiative to do your own research first before coming to your own conclusion about anything. Don't be too quick to blame others for your own shortcomings. We're all 100% responsible for our own actions. Peace.
