As Internet is truly becoming a platform for expressing and creating an identity for oneself , more and more people are realizing its importance and looking for different ways to have a recognizable online identity. Although profiles on Social Networking websites are certainly picking up pace these days and that’s still not considered a formal and respectable way of presenting oneself.

It’s the conventional way of creating one’s own website with a proper domain name (unlike free websites hosted on WordPress or Blogger), which is still the most effective way of creating an online identity for an individual. But for individual’s case, we often hear people saying that it’s too costly for everyone to maintain their Online identity, even when cheaper Shared hosting solutions are widely available on the internet.

In our opinion, it largely depends on the specific purpose of the individual. If the website is about an individual, there’s a good chance that the bandwidth and web space requirements will likely remain very low. Such a requirement can be fulfilled by cheaper hosting service providers out there on the web.

While exploring cheaper web hosting options, you can also have a look at DotEasy’s Domain & hosting solutions, where you can fulfill your .COM/.NET/.ORG domain registration(get it as cheap as $7.95) requirements and sign up for free web hosting solutions as well, which certainly looks a great deal for any starter.

At DotEasy, you also get to have some other advantages such as access to their repository of free web tools, applications and scripts, which will ultimately help you supplement your website with rich web applications, without much need of technical know-how.

In the end, we would emphasize on having a unique online identity for yourselves and we reckon that there is no shortage of cheaper web hosting solution providers like DotEasy, that will help you build your website without hurting your pockets.

There’s a newly launched service called 140it(for a change,this time the twitter app isn’t “tw………”),that lets you shorten your tweets if they are exceeding the 140 character limit in twitter.They use the usual style of shortening the text,which is commonly used by us while sending an SMS or even a tweet.

For instance,we shorten ‘are’ with ‘r’ or ‘management’ with ‘mgmnt’ and now the same task can be done with this twitter based app.You just need to “drag ‘n’ drop” it in your browser toolbar and you’re done.If your ...]]>

There’s a newly launched service called 140it(for a change,this time the twitter app isn’t “tw………”),that lets you shorten your tweets if they are exceeding the 140 character limit in twitter.They use the usual style of shortening the text,which is commonly used by us while sending an SMS or even a tweet.

For instance,we shorten ‘are’ with ‘r’ or ‘management’ with ‘mgmnt’ and now the same task can be done with this twitter based app.You just need to “drag ‘n’ drop” it in your browser toolbar and you’re done.If your tweet contains a web link then it will automatically convert it using bit.ly.It also replaces company names for their StockTwits symbols.

TweetShrink and Twonvert are the two apps that have been providing this very same service for a while now but they force you to go to their homepage.140it,on the contrary never lets you come back again to their site by tending you to add it your toolbar and get the things done there itself.

But,you have to access your twitter account for tweeting through 140it.So,for now,you can’t enjoy the comfort of using an app such as TwitterFox and simultaneously use 140it to shrink your tweet.Seeing the growing population of colliding twitter apps,it’s pretty easy to predict that we will soon have such text shortening service,right there in TwitterFox or similar app as well.

The latest (unofficial) news from Apple is that the restrictions over third party web browsers on entering App Store has been lifted.For the past 24 hours,a cluster of mobile based web browsers (belonging to various third parties) such as Edge,Incognito,WebMate,ShakingWeb have entered App Store.

Earlier,Apple appeared quite rigid for any App Store policy amendments,specially for Mobile web browsers but it seems that Apple is accepting the fact that stopping 3rd party web browsers from contributing into App Store might give developers as well as users,another reason to choose ‘Android Market’ or latest entrant ‘Palm App Catalog’ over App Store.

Astoundingly,just after Apple loosened out its policies regarding Web browser for iPhone,bunch of web browsers got approved(they all were probably waiting for this policy amendment).

It’s very clear that we will see more policy amendments in the near future from Apple as they are now feeling stiff competition from Android and Palm and can’t afford to leave any stone unturned.

On the other side,mobile versions of popular web browsers such as Firefox and Opera,inspite of all that SDK restrictions, will now find great opportunities to dominate iPhone userbase in fastest possible way.

This will surely cause serious damages to Safari’s dynasty within iPhone userbase but such a policy amendment was somewhat inevitable and seems quite justified from Apple’s point of view.

Ever wanted to look at the web and its creations through other’s perspective…..Real time !
