 A badge is somewhat like a certification made on a particular user’s profile. It takes the form of a dark grey checkmark on top of a lighter gray circle. When a mouse hovers over the mark, it changes form to include the phrase ‘Verified name’. It is located next to a user’s name that has been verified accordingly by Google+.

It has been said that by this it will be easy to judge the real account.As of its implementation, the badge is only viable to celebrities, actors, public figures, politicians, and users who have been added by a myriad of users to their circles.

So friends dont get fooled by sending the request to fake account.Look at the badge and confirm the things.

Google Chrome:New Version Faster and More Secure

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Google released new chrome version 17.which is more faster and more secure.When a user begins to type a URL or search query in the address bar, Chrome predicts what page the user wants and begins to load that page in the background.

Domnic Hamon, a software engineer for Google, said the following on the Google Chrome blog:

 “If the URL auto-completes to a site you’re very likely to visit, Chrome will begin to prerender the page. Prerendering reduces the time between when you hit Enter and when you see your fully-loaded web page–in some cases, the web page appears instantly.”

The new version of chrome is more secured and will warn the users about malacious software from website.

 

Top 5 Social Netwoking Sites Of 2011

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.Facebook-Face stands at 1st place in 2011.It is the addition machine which hooks its users for hours and yet they are not bored. Its a slow poison . It took me some time to get a hang of it but when I got a hang of it, was too late I was addicted to Facebook. People use Facebook not just to Socialize but to play games, earn money, publicize their products and websites, create groups and lot more. Facebook has a whooping more than  500 plus million unique visits each month and is popular around the world.It has been said that due to its application and games and adds the users are using Facebook more.

 

2.Twitter-Twitter stands at  2nd in 2011.Twitter is an online social networking and micro blogging service that enables its users to send and read text-based posts  known as “tweets”.Its drawbacks is less features compared to that of Facebook.

3.LinkedIn-LinkedIn stands 3rd in 2011.It is  is a business-oriented social networking site.It is mainly used for professionals.

 

4.Google+-Google+ stands 4th in 2011.Google’s latest assault on the social networking space has made waves in the social media world.It is mainly used for apps,games,hangouts,page,adds and publicity.

 

5.MySpace-Myspace stands 5th in 2011.In case you are assuming that MySpace is on the border of its death already, you are might be wrong. MySpace is remaining alive and its users are somewhat faithful to it in spite the huge level of attractiveness and glamour that other sites provide. Usually, MySpace is remain as user friendly as this used to be so there should not really be a plenty of user relevant topic while it comes into this issue. The only concern regarding MySpace but is that it nearly never moderated its platforms in huge scale manner so making this looks such as a little collegial equated to other social media.

Try Google’s New Navigation Menu

Google has recently announced a new interface that hides the navigation menu until you mouse over the logo. If you’d like to try to interface before, you can edit your Google cookie and use some values that trigger the new UI.

If you use Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer 8+, open google.com in a new tab, load Chrome’s JavaScript console (Ctrl+Shift+J), Firefox’s Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+K), Safari’s Web Inspector (how to do that?) or IE’s Developer Tools (press F12 and select the “console” tab) and paste the following code:

document.cookie="PREF=ID=03fd476a699d6487:U=88e8716486ff1e5d:FF=0:LD=en:CR=2:

TM=1322688084:LM=1322688085:S=McEsyvcXKMiVfGds; path=/; domain=.google.com";window.location.reload();

 

 

 

 

 

Then press Enter and close the console. If you’re not in the US and you’re using a different Google domain, replace “.google.com” with your domain in the code (for example: “.google.co.uk” in the UK). Please note that this only works for the English interface, so you many need to adjust the language in the preferences page.
