Don’t know if this feature is for testing or a full release. I’ve not come across this anywhere on the web (may be i’m too ignorant to notice this feature). The other possibility is - I always have cookies disabled for *.google.com :p in Firefox. Don’t remember reading about this anywhere either.

Its something like this:

• Login to your google account
• Search for any keyword, e.g movies
• Click on any link & then hit the browser back button
• Just hit refresh after you are back on the search results page
• Time will be displayed across the link which you visited (clicked on)

If you happen to visit the page more than once, the search results page will display the number of times the page is visited by you.
This feature will not work if you are not logged in to your google account.

Didn’t find this feature working fully correct, specially the number of visits shown across a link in search results page.

I’ve heard a lot about this author, but never really got the time to peek into his work. Saturday was the day when it was raining heavily & I got my hands on his (Chetan Bhagat) second Novel - one night @the call center.

I’m not a guy who will spend time reading a book(read as - Novel). Just booted my PC to listen to some music & I came across a file (night.txt) on the desktop. My roommate (not a techie) was doing some kinda typing practice using this novel. He had a couple of pages typed in this text file. I went through the text file & found it interesting.
The next thing I was doing is reading the novel. Started off @ 2.30 pm & finished reading the novel at 9.00pm.
Thats quite some time (atleast for a person like me), was lucky enough not to attend many phone calls(just a couple of them) that afternoon. ON@TCC is a nice novel which revolves around one night, 6 people working in call center in Gurgaon, and they get a phone call. A Phone call from GOD. The best part about the whole novel is, It gets better as you approach the end of it. I still cant believe I read the full novel at one strech (Thanks to the rains). Heard a lot about his first novel as well, May be I should give it a try - Five point someone. Is that happening this saturday?well… I guess the rains have a role to paly here.

Yahoo! has released a new firefox extension which measures site performance based on rules for high performance websites. Requirements to install Yslow are :

• Firefox
• Firebug (Firefox-Adon)

In return Yslow will give you

• Performance report card
• HTTP/HTML summary
• List of components in the page
• Tools including JSLint

As the name suggest, Yslow will tell you “Why your website is slow”. Yslow sits in the firebug main menu.
To measure a site’s performance, just install Yslow & click on the performance tab inside Firebug or click on the Yslow icon in the status bar. Yslow also adds JSLint in the tools menu.

Yahoo! home page has got a major feature added some days back. Its the search suggest feature. Unlike other suggests, this ones not obtrusive, so when i know what to search i need not look at the suggestions.
Thers’s an option to disable the search suggest feature. Disabling was a very simple as it showed up in the list, but i didn’t know how to enable it back.
I got it enabled only after reading the official posting on ysearchblog.
Check out the same on www.yahoo.com
