Who are you in the world of internet?

So, I did search for myself. I search for tzewei on Google, and found myself ranked no 1. Yeah!! Thanks to MyBlogLog, it's the my profile page on MyBlogLog.

Here is the screen shots of the search result - "tzewei"



So how about Yahoo? I performed the same search and get this.
It's ranked #3 on the first page, but under my blogger's profile. Not bad though.

It's just something fun to check your popularity on the web/internet. Hopefully one day I would have got my own wikipedia profile written like one of the blogger, politician in Malaysia - Jeff Ooi and many more.

How to subscribe and read news from your homepage by using rss?

Sometimes ago, I was aware of RSS or Atom, I know it is kind of a news feed and a lot of people is using it to read news. However, I wasn't sure how to use it to my convenience. Normally I will browse to the news website or blog to read the news.

But there is another easier way, where you can have all the news from different source combine into 1 page.

Here is the step-by-step guide:


  1. Log in to www.igoogle.com

  2. Sign up or sign in by following screen shot below.



  3. Key in your google account username and passoword.



  4. Then, it will lead to iGoogle page. Here is the screen shot of my iGoogle homepage.



  5. Click to add a new tab by following steps below. Check the box "I'm feeling lucky. Automatically add stuff based on the tab name." if you want Google to search for you all the news related to your tab name.


  6. Go to your favourite blog or news station. In this case, I use Tun Mahathir Blog as an example. Log in to www.chedet.com.


  7. Scroll down to the page and look for the atom/rss to subsribe.



  8. It will lead you to this page, select Google from the drop down list and click subsribe now.



  9. Select "Add to Google homepage" in this case.



  10. Here is the result that we get. Click on the '+' sign to expand the news.



  11. If you want to subscribe to my blog, click on the "subscribe in reader" as below


Good luck and have fun.

Malaysian Own Chat Widget/Shoutbox !!

I've just installed a shoutbox on my blog. It's called shoutmix, and more importantly it's a Award Winning Malaysian made widget.

I've been selecting among few chat widget to install, namely meebo, cbox, shoutmix, plugoo, zoho chat.
  • cbox - this is the first one that I found, the website looks too simple to me. So I proceed to find the next alternative.
  • plugoo - I thinks it looks promising, because it can link to my IM, I installed with linked to my gtalk. But after I tested, it's more a IM than shoutbox, I wanted the message to left on my blog instead.
  • zoho chat - So, I move on to the next this one. Anyway, I don't like it because it needs visitor to put in their name first before posting and looking at previous post. I prefer those allow direct put in name and chat.
  • meebo & shoutmix - meebo and shoutmix is the last two options for me. I choose shoutmix mainly because it's made by Malaysian, but it does offer all the features that I need. Simple interface, shoutbox (that stored previous message), fast loading time.
So, please leave your message there, I will definitely reply you.

Google is connecting your friends

Google is bringing social networking to another level, where you can have Myspace, Facebook, hi5, orkut, Plaxo...etc on your own website (without any programming).

Look at the video on how it functions.



I've already send in the request to be one of the early preview user. Hope that they will approve my request. I will share with you on this blog, once I have it.
